In the West, the lunar nodes are often seen as esoteric and difficult to access in terms of the natal chart. Through an examination of the lunar nodes through the houses, we can start to see the overarching themes that inform our “mission” in this world and serve as vital points for where we must tend to balance in our lives.

19:00 Carter Memorial Lecture: Making Heaven on Earth – Wade Caves

Humanity has attempted to mirror the celestial sphere onto the terrestrial in the construction of monuments, the design of ancient cities, and the organizing of geographical regions. Exactly how one might do this has been the subject of debate for millennia. Astrological chorography – the mapping of earthly regions to the planets or zodiacal signs – explores the rich history of the associations that were passed down to us, and reveals the orientation and beliefs of the cultures that originated them.

19:00 Jerome Cardan: Doctor, Astrologer, Mathematician, Gambler: Bernard Eccles

Jerome Cardan (1501-76) was a Renaissance polymath who could apparently do everything. Famed throughout Europe for his medical skills, he was summoned to Scotland in 1552 to treat the Archbishop of St Andrews (successfully) and met the young king Edward VI of England, for whom he drew a horoscope and predicted a bright future (not so successfully: the king died the following year). He made huge advances in algebra, invented mechanical devices that still bear his name today, and was the first to work out the odds in games of chance. He fell foul of the Inquisition for publishing a horoscope of Christ, yet managed to end his days living on a pension provided by the Pope! This talk looks at his life through his own horoscope, and at some of his most famous – and infamous – charts.

Bernard EcclesBernard Eccles has been writing, teaching and lecturing about astrology for over forty years. He was President of the Astrological Lodge of London twice in the 1980s, won the Astrological Association’s Charles Harvey award in 2011, and is a regular guest lecturer at the Faculty of Astrological Studies Summer School at Oxford.

What makes certain moments more fortunate than others? Why do periods of exceptional luck seem to come and go? In this presentation, we explore the astrological principles behind timing, fate, and fortune in games of chance and gambling.

Drawing from traditional, modern and predictive techniques, we will identify the specific windows, typically 4 to 5 times per year when planetary alignments suggest heightened potential for financial gains. Whether it’s horse racing, casino games, bingo, the lottery, or other forms of betting, we’ll examine how astrology can be used to increase your odds and identify auspicious moments to act. We will also delve into the concept of “event charts,” treating each contest or game as a space-time phenomenon with a birth and an ending. Just as a natal chart can reveal success or challenges in an individual’s life, so too can a well-timed chart for a gambling event reveal likely winners and losers in one-on-one competitions. Let’s have a glimpse at the cosmic blueprint of luck and explore how astrology can be a powerful tool for understanding timing, risk, and reward in the world of chance.

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.

‘The course of true love never did run smooth’, so said Shakespeare in his play A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

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.
