Lectures
Chiron in Taurus 2026- 2033
Chiron is known as The Wounded Healer, and when he changes signs, it signals how we as a collective approach individual and collective healing. Arising from Chiron in Aries, where we as a collective have been encouraged to look at the wounds of our fighters and athletes, and fight for our own individual healing, in Taurus, Chiron invites us to stare more deeply and heal issues of prosperity and embodiment. We are about to embark on a journey where Chiron is set to show us where we must honour healing on more practical and tangible levels.
This talk will explore some key myths surrounding Chiron, and what it tells us about his astrological implications for the collective, with an eye to major aspects, including Chiron’s role in the most important major configuration of the decade: The Great Sextile of Pluto in Aquarius Trine Uranus in Gemini, with Neptune and Saturn sextile them both can indicate big, important, easy changes for the collective. But Chiron will be squaring Pluto, which tells us that embracing the wisdom of Chiron might first come through an awareness of how deep those collective wounds go.
Predicting Love, the start, and the end
Part 1: The Meeting: When Will Love Arrive
Being at the right place, at the right time, can have us feeling in a zone where love is that much more available to us. Other times can feel frustrating and uncertain. This class will consider key aspects that show the start of an important relationship. Some topics we will cover include the nature of Venus and The Moon in the search for love. Conjunctions to the Natal and Transiting Nodes. Looking at the Rulers of the 7th, and sometimes 5th Houses, and upcoming transits to those planets. Looking at transits to planets in the 5th and 7th as key factors in understanding why courtship and relationship are 2 distinct and different things.
Part 2: The Separation: Aspects Of Breaking Up
Very often, when meeting new people, we hope this one is “the one”, and that this will be for a lifetime. However, the odds are great any new person we meet just might be for a reason or a season. This class will look at key aspects to the individual Natal, or composite charts, that can show a breakdown, or a breakup for good.
The 2020s: A Decade That is Changing Everything
The decade started with an adventurous and rare sky but has not let up! In fact, in many ways, the best has yet to be. This talk will evaluate what the major aspects so far have shown us about how these energies continue to verberate in their unfolding. The second half of the decade features The Great Sextile of Pluto in Aquarius Trine Uranus in Gemini, with Neptune and Saturn sextile them both. This can indicate big, important, easy changes for the collective. But Chiron will be squaring Pluto at the tail end of that process, which suggests the big changes being promised will likely come through the pain of practicality. This talk will look to the recent past, and what is just up ahead, to what the major aspects that have yet to be can tell us about what we can expect, as we stand at the halfway point of a decade that can change everything.
Post-Conference Half Day Workshop
Black Moon Lilith
Lilith is widely known in myth as an independent, rebellious force. She is culturally considered a feminist symbol, insisting on equality, and known for strength of self and spirit. Lilith in an astrology chart has many ways in which we embody the sacred, empowered and active feminine force within, regardless of our personal gender identity. It can also reveal some of our deeper desires that we seek to fulfil in unconscious ways, or resist expressing. This class will explore some key myths surrounding Lilith, and what it tells us about her astrological implications. We will go with Lilith through each of the signs and houses so that you can understand your Lilith more deeply.
Lilith has a power association as an independent, goddess energy. In astrology, her symbol has come to also represent sexual desires, some of which we might not readily share with others. This class will explore how Lilith came to embody sexual desire, and what we either find desirable in others, or we ourselves want to embody as part of our unique sexual expression. This class will specifically look at the sign and house of your Black Moon Lilith, to understand this energy of power and desire in your own chart.
This workshop will present new information, based on Nadiya’s recent journey to the Red Sea, a key location in the mythological understanding of Lilith.
The first part of the class explores key mythologies and how they represent a changing understanding of Lilith through the years. The second part looks specifically at Black Moon Lilith through the signs and houses of the natal chart, key aspects to Lilith in the natal chart and by transit, and how all this speaks to how we bring forward Lilith in our own unique ways.
