Originally from England, I’ve been a passionate student of astrology for over 30 years, studying with the Faculty of Astrological Studies in the UK in the days of correspondence courses and hand-drawn charts (!)

I have a background in teaching and curriculum design, which has come in really useful in developing astrology courses for all levels. I’ve lived in many different cultures overseas and love that buzz of cross-cultural living. I’m fascinated by language and linguistics, and I see astrology as another language that we can learn, acquire and develop fluency in. Through working with clients, I wanted to be able to go deeper with them and I realised I needed to develop my counselling skills, so did a Graduate Diploma in Counselling here in Australia.

In more recent years, I’ve been fascinated by traditional astrology. I’ve studied with the STA and have their certificates in Horary and Traditional Medical Astrology. I love working with astrology: whether that’s client work or helping students develop their knowledge and understanding of the subject. I love seeing the transformation that comes as people discover the magic that astrology can bring to our lives.

Draconic Astrology & The Soul’s Journey

Saturday 18th January 2025 – 11am – 12:15pm – Burleigh Room

As the Draconic zodiac aligns with the Tropical very close to this conference, this talk is an opportunity to explore Draconic Astrology and what it can reveal about our soul’s journey.

The Draconic chart allows us to access a deeper layer of interpretation in the natal chart, putting the individual firmly in the context of their spiritual journey in life, maybe even through lifetimes.

It’s important to bear in mind that the Draconic chart is a subsidiary chart that needs to be interpreted in the context of the natal, and in the context of the person’s spiritual journey.

After a brief introduction to Draconic Astrology, we’ll examine some example charts to see: –

• what stays the same astrologically in the Draconic chart
• what astrological changes come when we move into the Draconic, and their significance
• putting it together and how this all works in practice

We’ll also take a look at the possible birth chart of Jesus Christ based on Pam Crane’s ground-breaking research from the 1970s and 80s which reactivated interest in Draconic Astrology

The Deeper Connections of Relationship with Draconic Astrology

Sunday 19th January 2025 – 10:15am – 12noon – Kirra Room

In this second talk on Draconic Astrology, we’ll be exploring how Draconic charts can be used to gain deeper insight into relationship connections, in particular what’s happening at a soul level.

We’ll explore how synastry connections between two people can change dramatically once we shift into the Draconic zodiac, how the Tropical and Draconic charts between a couple can interact, and what the implications of all this are for relationship dynamics.

This presents us with a deeper layer of insight into relationship dynamics, and one that we can add to our standard repertoire of relationship astrology techniques. Draconic synastry speaks very much to the deeper, soul-level connection between two people in relationship.
