Group Diary for 2010-2011

The following dates are confirmed group sessions for Exeter Astrology Group.

Please note that there is no formal group meeting in August due to our summer break. However we have organised a social meeting - details below.

All Exeter Astrology Group sessions are on the second Sunday in the month unless otherwise advised.

11 July 2010: Astrology and the Transition Town Phenomenon

Ed will be giving an insight into astrology on a local level. The transition town phenomenon began in southwest England. Ed will be explaining how this might be a positive manifestation of the energy of the solar eclipse of the August 1999 that fell across Devon and Cornwall. Ed will also look at the astrology of the Eden Project, and the Modbury 'bag-free' initiative. Fascinatingly, the Royal Stars of the Persians - Aldebaran, Regulus, Antares and Fomalhaut, seem to play a prominent role in each chart. The astrology of the distant past reaches across 5000 years of human history to touch the southwest.

12 September 2010: Neptune into Pisces: a look at what this means for you

Jennie Fernyhough will be presenting the first session of our autumn talks.

Deep water and deep feelings. This new era for Neptune, moving into its own sign for the first time since the nineteenth century, is sure to bring key shifts in our emotional and psychological lives.

9 January 2011: Moon Families: integrating the power of lunations and eclipses

Dietrech Pessin, an American astrologer, developed a powerful technique for looking at cycles of lunations and eclipses. She called these cycles 'moon families'. Ed will explain how these 'moon families' can provide a powerful background for phases of life that seem, at first, unconnected. However, the Metonic cycle, a nineteen year repetition of new and full moons, interwoven with eclipses, and linked in Pessin's 'moon family' chains, can provide dramatic insights into self-development and personal growth. Ed describes these cycles as 'moon family narratives'.
