Nov 18 Gary Kidgel Astrology From Within The esoteric approach to astrology is firmly rooted in the great mystery teachings. It seeks to unite the individual with their inherent divinity as a means of expressing this in their daily life. This is achieved through a comprehensive language of symbols related to, and derived from, the astrological archetypes. Gary is a practising astrologer based in Dundee and he will be sharing this personal approach to astrology with us
