About us
We welcome students and advanced western astrology enthusiasts. Our events will be free online/Zoom at least for the next few years. Our Meetup events are designed for participants who already have a basic understanding of how to interpret the planets, houses, and signs; however, if you are a beginner, our events could complement other ways you are learning astrology.
Our events are interactive online meetings rather than lectures with Q&A later. Participants are encouraged to prepare and participate. Please read the event description carefully to see what you need to do to prepare for the event, complete your registration, and receive the link to the event. I am happy to respond to any questions, concerns, or comments you have about our group. Message me, Gerald, Organizer
Participants are asked to prepare for the event by studying the learning resources (files & links) described in the event description. We apply the astrology techniques presented for the event to the participants’ charts rather than just discussing the theory of the technique. We practice “show me; don’t just tell me”. Any chart being discussed is shared on the Zoom screen for all participants to see. You choose whether or not to have your chart shown and discussed. We stay focused on the topic of the event; we do not do general chart readings for participants.
Many of our participants have said that they appreciate the welcoming and friendly atmosphere of the group and also appreciate that the members share their astrology knowledge — which is often extensive.
The astrological birth (natal) chart (complete with all the planets, houses, and signs) is not a fated description of your character, but rather like the back of a seed packet, the chart shows the conditions necessary for good growth. Another way of considering the chart is that it is a guidebook, not a guide. You make choices.
Your chart is a road map of the journey of your life -- you get to choose how you move through it: take side trips, spend more time and resources on some parts of the journey, free will decisions about how you interact with fellow travelers, etc.

What is My Life Purpose?
·OnlineOnlineWe will determine your life purpose by interpreting your natal chart through the work of Thomas Hübl. Thanks to Aune for turning me onto his work.
Thomas Hübl is not an astrologer. He is a contemporary spiritual teacher and facilitator whose work integrates mystical traditions, meditation, relational awareness, science, and the healing of personal, ancestral, and collective trauma.
Thomas Hübl describes life purpose not as a fixed goal, career, or mission to discover, but as an unfolding dialogue between your deepest inner creative impulse and what the world genuinely needs from you.Purpose emerges through presence: by healing what blocks you, listening inwardly, developing your gifts, and allowing those gifts to become a meaningful contribution to others. In this view, life purpose is less about “What should I accomplish?” and more about:
“What wants to come alive through me, and how can it serve the evolution and healing of the larger whole?”
It is therefore something continuously revealed, embodied, and lived, rather than a single answer found once and for all.To better understand his philosophy, please view this 1 hour video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJWP5oBoklw

Please share during zoom meeting how well your Life Purpose describes the important processes in your life.
