‘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.

Richard III: Friend or Foe? - Chris Mitchell

18:45 Tea Break

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.

19:00 Shifting Boundaries

With Saturn and Neptune moving into Aries in 2026, new borders and boundaries are likely to be established, not only geographically but also in terms of accessing social spaces, and establishing our personal boundaries in virtual spaces. In addition to the above we will look at the most recently discovered boundary – the Kuiper Belt – and how it has impacted our lives to date, plus the possibility of ‘planet nine’ still lurking out there somewhere at the edge of the solar system.

Firdaria Unveiled: A Predictive Planetary Timing – Israel Ajose

Firdaria is a fascinating system of planetary periods with roots believed to be of Persian origin. First documented by the renowned astrologer Abu Mashar, Firdaria offers a unique method to understand the ebbs and flows of your life’s journey through celestial timing. In this seminar, I will introduce the fundamental principles of Firdaria and demonstrate how this straightforward system segments your life into long and short chapters or periods, each ruled by a specific planet. You’ll learn how to apply Firdaria enabling a comprehensive view of planetary influences across different stages of life. Discover which planets will be active and guiding you during various ages and milestones. We’ll explore how to interpret these planetary activations, work with their energies, and recognise potential challenges or opportunities they present. This lecture will equip you with practical tools to harness the power of Firdaria, deepen your understanding of planetary cycles, and gain insight into the timing of life’s significant events.

Profections – Sharon Knight

Profections are now widely used by many astrologers both traditional and modern, but there are various techniques and methods that add a deeper layer of knowledge to correct predictions when using Profections. Sharon will demonstrate these in-depth methods and hopefully enable everyone to understand how to delve deeper into the predictive art of Profections as used in the past.

Converse Progressions – Patricia Godden

Converse progressions are one of the tools that can be used in prognostication. They are derived by looking at the position of the planets one day for every year of the life before birth. While converse progressions can be used in understanding the timing of events, they may also indicate the karmic background of those events. Examples will illustrate use of converse progressions in individual lives and national affairs.

Age Progression – Faye Blake

The horoscope can be seen as a clock. This idea was developed further in the 60’s by Bruno Huber a Swiss astrologer who developed the technique of Age Progression and the Age Point which in his view highlights psychological development. Faye will briefly explain the 72-year Huber cycle and provide case studies showing that it has relevance for companies and countries as well as individuals. She has used this technique for over 35 years and has found it one of the most useful tools in the Astro toolkit. Her dissertation for her MA in Cultural Astronomy and Astrology offered a model for organisational development based on this idea. One of her papers also researched experiences of clients at age 45, a particularly interesting time, using this system.

Faye BlakeNew Zealand-born Faye Blake offers an innovative mix of services: she’s a counselling astrologer and therapist, and she’s also a business consultant who offers original ways to use astrology in the working environment.
