About us
This is a group for everyone interested in learning more astrology. Astrologers, students, members, and guests of the San Diego NCGR group (a.k.a. Aquarius Cafe), meet the third Saturday of the month in Encinitas. The San Diego NCGR is a non-profit organization.
Each meeting offers an opportunity to discuss concepts and techniques of astrology. Members and guests come together to explore a variety of perspectives, to share ideas with one another. Each month our national and local speakers provide insight, and there are many astrologers in our our group who are happy to answer your questions.
We also organize workshops where an expert teacher goes into greater detail on a specific topic, and teaches helpful techniques, so we can keep growing our skill. Some examples of popular workshops are: Vocational Astrology, Relationships Patterns, and Predictions for the Year. We look forward to meeting you at an event soon!

When life prompts a move, whether through career, family, relationship changes, or financial need, astrology offers powerful guidance. Most practitioners begin with astro-mapping, but that is only the first step.This lecture explores the technique of relocating the natal chart to a new geographic location. We will examine what remains constant, the planets in their natal signs and degrees, and what fundamentally shifts: the house cusps, the Ascendant, and the Midheaven, all recalculated for the new latitude and longitude.
We will discuss how this restructuring reframes planetary emphasis across the twelve houses, why certain life areas become activated or quieted in a new location, and how dormant aspects of personality can surface in a different environment.
By the end of this lecture, attendees will understand why relocation astrology provides a fuller, more personal picture than astro-mapping alone, revealing the opportunities, challenges, and version of themselves most likely to emerge in their new home.
Loda Shaw is a member of NCGR
Former vice president of the San Diego Astrological Society
He has a bachelor’s degree in Business from the University of Phoenix.
And he specializes in a modern psychological astrological approach
