What we’re about
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.

===== EVENT DESCRIPTION =====
The conjunction of transiting Saturn to Neptune around the first degree of Aries, lasting from May to September 2025 and again January through February of 2026 (tNEP con tSAT 0 Ari ) effects the world and us individually. We are all experiencing conflicts between physical limitations and structures with ideals and hopes.We will focus on what events and situations that have already happened, personal and world, that correlate with the metaphoric meaning of this conjunction. How has your thoughts, feelings, and actions been affected by the transit?
We will focus on the aspects this transit makes to key points in your natal chart. I, Gerald host, have put red lines in your natal-transit biwheel to highlight the aspects. I have also gotten chatGPT interpretation of the aspects.
