A presentation of the astrological career and ideas of maverick British astrologer W. J. Tucker PhD, who studied and wrote on modern psychology, espoused unconventional scientific views on astrology at the same time as making an extensive study of Ptolemaic astrology, was a strong advocate of the use of the fixed stars, and liaised extensively with astrologers in continental Europe and the USA while remaining largely detached from the mainstream theosophically grounded British astrological scene of his time. The talk will include a chronologically presented overview of the thirty original books (of which at least two dozen on astrology) authored by Tucker that were first published between 1935 and 1971, and an account of the pioneering magazine Science and Astrology that he both edited and published from 1935 to 1936.

19:00 How to read a consultation chart — Marcos Patchett

In medical and horary astrology, consultation charts assume a central place, but many astrologers relegate them to second billing, an afterthought. But the consultation chart can be one of the most incisive tools in an astrologer’s kit, useful not only for contextualising the client’s situation, but for optimising the client-practitioner relationship, identifying potentials and pitfalls, analysing the client’s overt and hidden motivations for seeing an astrologer, and pinpointing the most fruitful avenues of enquiry and courses of action to take. In this talk Marcos demonstrates the power of consultation charts using examples from his herbal and astrological practice.

The Astrological Sappho — Heather McVey

19:00 The Astrological Sappho — Heather McVey

Sappho of Lesbos (c. 630 BCE), the ancient Greek lyric poet of sensual longing — hailed by Plato as the “Tenth Muse” — remains a figure of enduring fascination, myth, and ambiguity. With much of her life lost to time and only poetic fragments surviving, her legacy has been shaped as much by projection and speculation as by fact. This talk offers an exploratory look at Sappho’s mythic imprint through an astrological lens. Drawing on well-known chart examples where the asteroid Sappho is prominently placed, we’ll explore themes of erotic expression, artistic voice, and sexual power — especially where sexuality becomes a site of performance, scandal, or resistance. Expect heavenly prose, seduction, and a sojourn into the shadow side of commodified desire.

19:00 The Horoscope through a Psychological Lens – Pamela Tyler

Novice astrologers aren’t the only ones who get stuck when first encountering a horoscope. Even the most seasoned practitioner must wrestle with contradictory patterns in a natal chart before ever meeting its owner. There are no “dumb” notes in a horoscope—only notes asking for greater visibility. Huber astrologer Pam Tyler brings a lifetime of astrological practice to the art of seeing a horoscope through a psychological lens. Drawing on insights from the modern tradition (Rudhyar, M. E. Jones, and Geoffrey Cornelius), as well as her mentors Bruno and Louise Huber, Pam will demonstrate the specific Huber chart factors—and selected traditional indicators—she considers when preparing for a consultation. Participants with an accurate birth time are encouraged to download their natal horoscope in Huber format in advance.

19:00: Is the Chart Valid?

Horary astrology answers a specific question by casting a horoscope the moment it is asked, but most importantly, understood by the astrologer. But you will need to know whether the chart is valid or not. With the help of William Lilly’s Considerations Before Judgement, we will discover what makes a chart valid for a horary reading.
