Change In January Schedule

Sadly, Jessica Adams won't be coming to Oxford in January. We hope she'll be able to come later in the year.

So the January meeting will just be a planning meeting for the rest of the year.

Don't forget to circle February 15 for Bernadette Brady's one-day workshop though.

Christmas Astro-gig

Next meeting is on December 18 at the North Oxford Association. We start at 7.3O and finish around 1O.
We will be playing "Guess Whose Chart", so bring along a few of your own mystery charts. They need to belong to someone reasonably well known. We put them up on the projector and have a go at guessing. First prize is a mince pie.
See you there.

The Solar Returns Workshop

Our first one-day event, a workshop on the Solar Return or birthday chart, was a great success.

Guest speaker Lynn Bell, doyenne of psychological astrology, queen of the solar return and all-round clever woman was really wonderful. She managed to make us laugh, reel in astonishment, open our minds and think again.

The participants were also splendid: good questions were asked, attention was paid and some excellent comments were made.

Trinity College is always gorgeous, of course, and the Sutro Room itself has a particular atmosphere: studious yet theatrical.

The group would like to thank everyone who came – near and far - for making the day go so well.

To give you a flavour of the day here is a short clip of Lynn Bell speaking about astrological magic and the solar returns of 2013. 

This Weekend

Just to remind you that the Solar Returns Seminar with Lynn Bell is this Saturday, November 9. Much excitement here.

•If you are coming by car, the Park and Ride in Oxford is good and drops you minutes from Trinity College.
•If you're coming by bus, take it all the way to the terminus at Gloucester Green, again minutes from the college.
•If you are coming by train, it's a 10 minute walk.

There will be tickets at the door if you haven't had a chance to buy one.

Lunch will be from 1-2pm.

Don't forget to bring your charts and sharpen your wits as well as your pencils.

Solar Returns with Lynn Bell

One-day seminar the Sutro Room, Trinity College, Oxford

Lynn Bell's visit to Oxford is almost upon us. We are polishing the projector, sorting out the teacups and looking at our own Solar Return charts.

She'll be demonstrating how to read your birthday chart for the year ahead. Lynn is easily one of the most engaging and inspiring astrologers we know, so don't miss it. Bring your charts and your questions.

Talking About Pluto

Barry Goddard twinkling

That was fun.

Barry Goddard led an insight-filled, revelatory and well-attended meeting at the North Oxford Association on Wednesday. Regulars and newbies chipped in with their own experiences of Pluto transits. Barry took us through a fascinating journey into the geography of the underworld and the potential for self-transformation that Pluto transits offer.

See you next time.

Telling the truth about Pluto

Discussing Persephone.

The Dark Lord in Oxford on the 16th

Just to remind you that Dharmaruci from Astrotabletalk will be invoking Pluto here in Oxford next Wednesday.

It's at the North Oxford Association and starts at 7.30 on the 16th. Everyone's welcome. It's £4 on the door. I think there'll be tea... but we made need something a bit harder in the circs....

Lynn Bell

Lynn Bell is coming to Oxford on November 9 to give a one-day seminar on solar returns. Have a look at the events page for tickets and times.

Meanwhile here she is three years ago discussing the current Uranus-Pluto square. Very accurate and still relevant because we are still only half way through the square. Listen and take note.

Bernadette Brady Booked

The great BB is coming to Oxford for a one-day workshop: Charting Your Life Story. Circle February 15, 2014 in your diary.

This workshop is suitable for everyone. You do need to know your birth chart but you do not need to be an expert. When Bernadette is done with you, of course, you will be. For more info look at the events page.

Bernadette will be answering questions - within reason - about the event on the FB page for it.
Click here to see that and to buy tickets.

Astrotabletalk Comes to Oxford

The voice of Pluto himself, Barry Goddard, author of Astrotabletalk, one of our favourite blogs, is coming to talk to the group on October 16th. 

We are quietly thrilled, if a little nervous.

He's looking forward to having an open discussion, a kind of round-table talk with Pluto as the subject. Bring your charts and your own experiences of Pluto (the ones you can bear to talk about).

We'll be at the North Oxford Association in Summertown, Oxford from 7.30pm.

Barry is a gifted interpreter of personal charts and he'll be doing readings on Thursday October 17th here in Oxford. If you'd like to book him, please get in touch.

Welcome to the all new Oxford Astrology Group website.

We're an informal group. Amateurs, professionals; passersby and the Chancellor of the University himself: you're all invited to drop in and put in your two pennies worth. 

Every month we meet to talk about astrology – now, then and in the future. Sometimes these are simply tea-&-biscuits sessions so that we can really discuss some knotty issues, but we also have an exciting programme of guest speakers starting in the autumn.

NEXT MEETING OCTOBER 16 AT THE NORTH OXFORD ASSOCIATION.

Because we've had a few years off from inviting guest speakers, we wanted to start with style. So this autumn,  Lynn Bell is coming over from Paris to give a one-day teaching seminar on solar returns, a subject on which she is an absolute authority. Some of us think her book is the bible on the subject.

In March, we'll be hosting John Frawley, yes the "Real Astrologer" himself, for a full week-end workshop on horary astrology and the fixed stars. Frawley fans should book now, because spaces are limited.

Other speakers will be announced as we confirm dates.
