About us
Astrology is an excellent practical and useful tool for understanding ourselves, our motivations, and the universe around us. It is much more than the sun sign columns found in newspapers and magazines. Whether you are just starting to learn or are a professional astrologer, this is where everyone speaks the same language. Everyone is invited to ask questions on any level, share observations, and exchange ideas. Everyone is encouraged to participate, and if you are interested in presenting a lecture or discussion topic, please contact the organizers. We are open to considering astrology-based ideas of all kinds.

You can see someone’s astrology and psychology in their artwork.
The psyche and the astrological charts come out in an art work’s symbols, and in what themes/ideas/archetypes compel an artist. It also shows formally in composition, line, form, color, materials, scale and texture.As a professor in 3 art therapy clinical programs teaching art interpretation for 26 years, Clauda Bader has long researched the relationship between psychodynamics, astrology and artwork. She can look at someone’s artwork and detect what part of the astrological chart the psyche wishes bring out and further develop.
After exploring how the psyche communicates through art, she will trace the intercorrelations and triangulations between the artistic, the psychological and the astrological. It doesn’t matter if the person is a professional artist or not, the psyche speaks through imagery we latch on to, and the astrological chart shapes any artwork.
Come learn the results of an unexpected art and astrology experiment with 100 people who did not know even their Western astrological signs. Discover a case study of an artist whose art shows her transformation as she healed and how this was reflected in her astrology.
Richly illustrated with examples of artists (famous and not), on art elements, psychology, and astrology, we will also look at the specific art characteristics of the signs and planets to see the correspondence between psyche, chart, and artwork.
Join us for an illuminating evening of creative, deep, celestial interconnections.
