  In September 2002 ...
Julie Kelly returned to talk ton us about Aging and the process we go through in terms of astrological configurations. On Saturday we had a workshop on the same topic. Talk about putting things in perspective starting with Chiron, ending with the second Saturn return. How much can you do in a one day workshop, well when it is lead by a Gemini, lots and lots. We covered other topics with equal intensity during breaks, and at dinner. It was a delight, until next year Julie. Thank you for sharing your views and wealth of experience. Workshop was taped for those interested in learning more.

Marelon Bjorkaes gave us a thought-provoking lecture on the Process of Pluto - not just the theory but the experience. For two hours the audience sat enraptured listening to Marelon's insights into the realm of the God of the Underworld. Marelon's ready laughter broke the tense subject matter, and one audience member commented that when Marelon laughed it was as if a little girl sat on the stool rather than the speaker Marelon, who has practised astrology for many decades. The talk was taped for the benefit of those who could not make it. Thank you Marelon for taking the time to travel all the way to Vancouver just to share of your wisdom. Marelon is our regular humour columnist and regular contributor. She is available for private consultations and is also a skilled healer both in person and at distance.

Phyllis gave us a delightful talk on the Karakas in the chart. Hands on lecture that was full of "meat". On Saturday we had a great workshop on this topic and covered the charts of most participants. Each one of us felt we walked away with a valuable tool in hand. We will have another workshop with Phyl in August to continue to explore the Nakshatras. The talk was taped, the workshop was not taped. Thank you, Phyllis.

  In September 2001...
Julie Kelly came, saw and conquered ... Julie gave us a wonderful talk on comparability. She enlightened us about our modes of relating based on her practise of astrology, which has spanned 42 years! We took our standard social break when this Gemini lady paused for the first time ... It is always so delightful to hear the voice of experience over theory. In September 2002 Julie will be back to give us a talk and a workshop on astrology and aging. The Pluto in Leo generation does need that we don't measure looks in terms of beauty but in terms of how young we manage to look. Thank you, Julie it was a delight. The tapes of the talk are available for members who could not make the talk. Detailed contact information on our links page.

Mark Gemmill gave us a wonderful talk on the Astronomy of Astrology. He really brought the heavens, spheres and the various house systems "down to earth" enlivening his presentation with beautiful graphics and the piece de resistance was the model he had made of the solar system. Thank you Mark - it was phenomenal ... To whet our appetite Mark also presented a visual of Mars setting on the chart wheel and in the cosmos ... not what we'd expect.The talk was recorded and is available at the library, however, without the visuals something will be left unseen... There is a website that shows some of these visuals by Michael Erlewine - here's the link

Maurice McCanngave us an excellent talk and presentation on the Importance of the Sun. Always the one to come up with new old points to ponder. He made excellent arguments for the Sun being the controller. Had you stopped to think that the Sun is the one that sets the parameters for retrogradation of the planets ...(What about if Ptolemy had devised his rulership scheme downunder in Australia, where the Sun is its hottest at the Winter Solstice - how would our horoscopes look? If you missed this one, it is on tape. Check with Kay. Thank you Maurice, it was great. Check out Maurice's website.Send e-mail.
