| Mar 30 Frank Clifford** | Exploring the Midheaven The Midheaven has much to say about our reputation, the image we wish to project and our parental inheritance. Success is symbolised by the Midheaven, and we succeed when we integrate this angle with the rest of the birth chart. The talk explores the many meanings and importance of this much-neglected horoscope point. We welcome back Frank, who did such a brilliant workshop last year. The author of books on astrology and palmistry, and magazine contributor (click here for details), Frank runs an astro-palmistry practice in London, and teaches at the London School of Astrology. |

| Apr 23 Deborah Houlding** All day workshop from 10:00 am |
Between Heaven and Earth For astrological symbolism to be used effectively, the focus must be on timeless and universal principals. The workshop begins with the origin and development of house meanings. It continues by examining the role of astrologer as the medium through which patterns emerge into divinational form. Case histories will be used as examples. Deborah Houlding is an internationally recognised authority on traditional horary practice. She writes for Mountain Astrologer, and is the author of THE HOUSES - Temples of the Sky [click title for on-line version]. Click here for Deborah's "Skyscript" web site. |
