The 7th May 2026 local council elections are being heralded as British equivalent of the American Mid-Term Elections. They are an indicator of the British public’s mood regarding Sir Keir Starmer and the Labour Party’s success or failure in government. The Elections may also identify who is likely to be the strongest opposition Party out of Reform UK, Conservatives, The Green Party & the Liberal Democratic Party. It’s all to play for! Anita will be using Mundane Astrology and Traditional forecasting techniques to determine the possible winners and losers of this milestone election.

19:00 It All Starts in our Mother’s Uterus: Smiljana Gavrančić

Tissue salts—also known as cell salts—are a group of twelve essential minerals that must exist in balance within the body to support health and wellbeing. Naturally present in the earth’s rocks and soils, these salts are found in foods grown in mineral-rich, organic conditions. However, modern lifestyles and highly processed diets can lead to deficiencies. In this talk, Smiljana explores the relationship between the twelve tissue salts and the Zodiac, with each sign linked to a specific salt. Beginning with life in the mother’s womb, she also demonstrates the connection between the tissue salts and the matridonal remedies of the humanum family—known as the “Gifts of the Mother”: Lac Humanum, Folliculinum, Placenta Humana (Welsh), Vernix Caseosa, Amniota Humana, and Umbilicus Humanus.

19:00 Embracing the North Node in Aquarius Transit: Celeste Brooks

The transiting North Node reveals the collective’s evolutionary direction, and its passage through Aquarius calls us into visionary leadership, authentic individuality, and collective awareness. In this talk, Celeste explores the rich—and often paradoxical—lessons of the North Node in Aquarius, including:

• Moving from personal recognition toward meaningful collective contribution• Releasing the comfort of tradition (the Leo South Node) in favour of future-focused innovation• Building community without sacrificing personal authenticity• Trusting intuition and embracing your role as a catalyst for change

Celeste examines how this nodal passage shifts us from seeking the spotlight to advancing humanitarian ideals, strengthening networks, and participating in social evolution. Drawing on previous North Node cycles in Aquarius, she identifies recurring themes that offer insight into what may emerge during the current transit. The talk also explores how the North Node’s movement through each house provides practical guidance for your own journey of growth, innovation, and belonging. Align with the future—and discover how to play your part in shaping it.

19:15 A Gentle Introduction to Jyotish: Adam Smith

Western Astrologers often find Jyotish (Vedic Astrology) difficult to approach, but the two systems, East and West, have more in common than many people think. This talk demystifies the basics of Vedic chart interpretation and even suggests techniques for Western astrologers to use in their own practice. A grasp of some key Vedic concepts can add another dimension to your astrology.

Adam SmithAdam began his journey in Western Astrology in 1990, alongside a lifelong practice of yoga meditation. He worked in international media astrology for twelve years, and studied astrology as part of a degree course in Comparative Religions. Since 2009, Adam’s practice has shifted to Jyotish, working directly with Vedic Pandits in India, and he considers himself an omnivorous astrologer. Adam is based in London and available for classes and consultations.
