19:15 Eccentric Women: Martin Sebastian Moritz

Eccentricity refers to the quality of being unconventional, odd, or deviating from normal or accepted behaviour, often in a way that is distinctive or intriguing. Astrologically, the signs Aquarius and Pisces, along with their rulers, come to mind. Surprisingly, however, Chiron, the wounded healer, can also play an important role.

In this talk, Martin will delve into the lives of Empress Elizabeth of Austria, also known as Sissi, and Marlene Dietrich. Behind the popular sugar-coated 1950s film portrayal by Romy Schneider, Sissi was, in reality, a psychologically troubled and egocentric woman. Marlene Dietrich, the embodiment of a super diva and a lasting style and glamour icon, had countless affairs and ruled her inner circle with an iron will. Both women were Capricorn Suns with significant Chiron signatures.

Martin Sebastian MoritzMartin has been an astrologer for over 30 years and also works as a psychotherapist and trend researcher. A returning speaker at the Lodge, he has presented at conferences worldwide, including NORWAC and the AA Conference. Martin also teaches for MISPA, Kepler College, OPA and ISAR. His areas of interest include psychological and karmic astrology, biography work, gender issues, and history.

19:00 A Right Royal Romance

‘The course of true love never did run smooth’, so said Shakespeare in his play A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Love is always tested, and those royal romances we examine tonight, certainly had their difficulties to overcome. Some succeeded in their romantic plight, and some did not. We shall examine the charts of Prince Charles/Camilla/Princess Diana, Queen Elizabeth/Prince Philip, Princess Margaret/Tony Armstrong Jones/Peter Townsend, Edward VIII/Wallis Simpson. And in the process, revisit some rules of synastry.

19:15 Richard III: Friend or Foe?

Today, lots of people decry the backstabbing that goes on in modern politics, and the divisive hatred that it can engender. There’s nothing new about this, though, and nothing demonstrates this better than King Richard III. Shakespeare portrayed him as an evil scheming child murderer, while the Richard III Society today portrays a much more positive view of Richard as a popular ruler attempting to improve the lives of his subjects. His contemporaries were equally divided – one described his rule as being marked by a “love of all his subjects, rich and poor, and great praise of the people”, while another described him as a monster akin to the Antichrist. By today’s standards, no medieval monarch could be described as “nice”, so in this talk we will look at this complex man and his relationships, the extraordinary story of the discovery of his body and subsequent reburial in Leicester Cathedral, and examine a few charts.

Chris MitchellChris Mitchell is a certified geek, and since childhood has had a fascination with obscure languages, whether human languages (he’s learning Welsh), computer programming languages, or the mysterious symbols and language of astrology. He was therefore astonished to learn that he could actually get paid enough for writing computer programs to pay the bills, and was allowed to do a PhD in medieval astrology which opened doors allowing him the right to wander, Harry Potter style, through hidden basements of ancient buildings and magical libraries poring over arcane medieval manuscripts written on parchment. He is on the boards of the Astrological Association and the Association of Professional Astrologers International (APAI), as well as the author of “England’s First Astrology Book”. In 1921 he was the joint recipient of the Charles Harvey Award for Exceptional Service to Astrology in 2021.

19:15 Exploring the Symbolism of the planets in Astrology: Israel Ajose

As astrologers, we often speak of the planets’ meanings: the Moon representing emotions, Mercury governing communication, Venus symbolizing love, and so forth. But have we paused to consider the deeper significance of the symbols we use to represent these celestial bodies? As we explore the intricate connections between the visible and the symbolic, offering an old but fresh perspective on how we interpret and teach astrology. This talk promises to expand your understanding of the planets and inspire a more nuanced approach to your astrological work. In this Carter Memorial Lecture, I will delve into the rich and fascinating world of planetary symbolism. Beyond their traditional interpretations, the glyphs and symbols of the planets carry layers of meaning that can deepen our understanding of their roles in the natal chart. By examining these symbols, we uncover hidden insights that enrich our astrological practice and offer profound new ways to describe the planets’ influence in our lives.

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.

• 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.
