10th July 2021 BST 5pm-6:30pmReading the past to navigate the present: historical cycles as teachersDarby Costello
Pluto has been in Capricorn with Neptune in Pisces six times inthe last three thousand years. We shall look at each of theseperiods to help us understand this current cycle, which began in2008-10 and will end in 2024-5. And then we shall look at theSaturn Uranus Neptune conjunction of the late 1980s, early 90s:its history, and its demands on the generation born during thattime. Observing earlier historical cycles gives us a perspectiveon our present time and helps us to navigate our communal andprivate lives with attention and compassion.
When Saturn and Uranus come into aspect the old and thenew are at odds. Something has to give, and something hasto stay. We are asked to take risks, and to hold tight, often atthe same time. These two planets will form an exact waningsquare on February 17 2021, and again on June 14, andDecember 24th. It becomes very hard to maintain the statusquo when Saturn and Uranus clash, and indeed their frictionwill help give rise to a new era. You may be in the middle of adilemma and you are not alone. After all that has happenedmost of us are longing for the change symbolized by Saturnand Jupiter in Aquarius, and yet Uranus in Taurus calls us toclaim what we hold dear. In this webinar we will look at howthese planets affect each of us, through the houses that areactivated in the natal chart, what are the choices we arebeing asked to make?
