This talk will explore the possibilities presented by this cycle and how this exciting new era will be influenced by a very different and exceptional generation.” Wendy Stacey will be joined by astrologers from Tokyo to London during the Astrological Association Conference. I’ve selected some of my favourite astrology experts and their talks, to give you a small sample of what to expect over the weekend.

Join John Green for his talk: The Saturn Experience: The Invocation of Always on Zoom. John writes, “We often use our intellect to analyse our natal planets.

Robyn explains, “The Phases of the Moon are a remarkable tool for mapping out and timing your life events. By following the 27 month Metonic Cycle from New Moon to First Quarter Moon and Full Moon to Last Quarter Moon, you can pinpoint exact times of future events and also look back over past events, both on a Mundane and Personal Level. Where are we heading in relation to COVID-19 and what dates should we be watching?”
Robyn’s interest in astrology began in the eighties. She spent many years studying with various astrological bodies, gaining her Diploma from the Faculty of Astrological Studies in 1990. She is one of just a handful of experienced astrologers, who also completed a two year Counselling Diploma course with the Faculty of Astrological Studies., based on humanistic and transpersonal psychology. The F.A.S. is widely regarded as one of the foremost teaching bodies for astrologers, in the world.
Besides private astrological consultations and ongoing counselling work, Robyn also teaches and runs workshops. She particularly enjoys supervising regular interpretation groups where the participants bring their own selection of charts. Robyn believes that most people can benefit from learning enough astrology to be able to use their own charts, as a guide to dealing with some of life’s challenges. In this respect, regular mini courses are arranged for this purpose. Back in the early nineties, Robyn was one of the first members of the renowned Association of Professional Astrologers International, where she worked for several years as a Council Member and Treasurer. The APAI awarded Robyn a Fellowship in 2005 in recognition of her contribution to the field of astrology.
In a Zoom talk titled Dance of the Heavens: Testimony of Radicality in Horary, Jody Collorick will show you how to work with this historic branch of astrology. He writes,“All too often the newcomer to horary astrology is put off by the demonstration of weak symbolism. Within the horary tradition however there is a concept known as radicality which requires the symbolism of chart to be rooted within the question itself, bringing it alive and making it dance.”
Jody, who teaches at Bristol’s Hamilton House having set up the Company of Astrologers’ teaching in the West Country, also specialises in the ancient form of divination that is horary astrology and has been involved in astrology for the past 27 years. “As a teen I learned the characteristics of each sign, comparing them to my friends and family and beginning to see them playing out,” he says, “and it was this way of experiencing astrology that got me hooked as it suggests another order of reality at work beneath the surface.”
Jody recently told The Bristol Magazine, “There are usually two camps when it comes to astrology – the fully subscribed and the utterly scornful. Most sceptics that I meet actually know very little about astrology but often dismiss the subject outright. I’m always willing to share my knowledge if they are willing to listen. The most sceptical tend to be the earth signs (Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn) – concerned with the tangible world of matter, whereas astrology is a mysterious subject concerned with the soul and its destiny. Pisces tends to be the most open to astrology; they are very receptive to the more subtle levels of reality and usually concerned with the bigger picture. I would also say Scorpio has a strong sense that we are involved in something very deep and mysterious.”
Admission to the conference begins at £30.00 for Zoom access on Friday night. The full conference and access to webinars after the weekend is over, costs £239.00. This is a great way to dive into astrology if you are a beginner, or to discover new expertise and techniques, even if you are a professional.

If you have a stellium in Aquarius (more than three factors in that zodiac sign) then your Eleventh House of friendships and groups is unusually packed. What happens to those friendships when Saturn, Jupiter and then Pluto all pass through Aquarius? Have friends been lost, or has the friendship changed? That’s typical of this long cycle.
The NHS was founded on 5th July 1948 in London with an astrological chart that shows a complete replacement in 2022 and 2023. The horoscope for the National Health Service reveals a perfect storm that will affect nurses, doctors and patients.
Astrology forecasts made before an historic chain of eclipses chimed with predictions of drama for the Royal Family, Bill Clinton, Donald Trump – and a strange twist of fate involving Lolita. Published so long ago that Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein were still unknown to the public, they now suggest July-August 2021 is a time of reckoning. Meghan, Harry, Kate and William have also been drawn into the astrological timeline. How do the Leo eclipses pan out in 2021 and 2022?
