Becoming Saturn
This is an exploration of the first, second, and third Saturn Returns together with the opening and closing oppositions and squares.
I open this webinar with a new way of viewing Saturn based on Pre Hellenistic mythic stories. I offer both fresh and ancient ways of looking at Saturn that are both mythic and science based. In addition, I draw parallels of Saturn cycles to natural human growth and development as viewed from Social Psychology and Ptolemy.
I illustrate with chart examples how Saturn acts as a gateway to personal and collective growth and healing. I offer personal, group and mundane chart examples of Saturn cycles.
Dr. Katherine O’Connell
I have a background as an Astrologer (60 years), Clinical Psychologist, and an Interfaith Minister. As a Psychologist I have authored two books on recovery and the healing process, taught internationally at Graduate Schools and Medical Schools, both Allopathic and Chinese, and served as a health care policy consultant to a U.S. President. As an Interfaith Minister, I have trained Interfaith Clergy, visited with tribal groups, traveled and led rituals and reconciliation gatherings on three continents.
Astrology is my greatest joy since it entered my life at thirteen. I have many lineages as a Psychologist and an Astrologer, a divinatory gift since childhood, and a way of bringing magic and hope that is nourishing to humans, plants and animals. As an Astrologer I have an intuitive and eclectic approach, utilizing both ancient and modern techniques. I believe that hope and joy are connected and a synergistic experience of these can be shared online or in person. I am a member of OPA, CIA, ISAR and NCGR.
I have an international online practice involving Astrology, coaching, training and speaking.

Everything you ever wanted to know about Aspects:
Arguably being able to make sense of major aspects is the most important and sometimes the most challenging job of the working astrologer. Today Sue will talk about interpreting charts in various contexts and will discuss what is important and what, arguably, is not when it comes to interpreting charts in general and aspects in particular. What to focus on, what to exclude. Discussion of orbs and aspects to angles will be included. With many examples.
Sue Tompkins is an experienced consultant and teacher of astrology (qualifying in 1981) also a fully registered homeopath (qualifying in 1996). Her books, Aspects in Astrology (1989) and The Contemporary Astrologer’s Handbook (2006), continue to be best-selling titles around the world. In a recent survey conducted by the Astrological Association (GB) where 130+ professional astrologers around the globe were asked to list their ten favorite astrology book, Aspects in Astrology came first!
Her approach to astrology is psychological, contemporary and practical and she has a special interest in medical astrology. She has received various awards including a Fellowship from the Faculty of Astrological Studies and in 2003 the UK’s Astrological Association’s Charles Harvey Award for exceptional service to astrology. She lectures widely at home and abroad. www.suetompkins.com

This class is a study of the structure and use of the Lots, concentrating on the two most important of the Lots, Fortune and Spirit, emphasizing how to use the Lots in natal and predictive work.
The session will include
-
The formulas of the two Lots.
-
The geometry of the Lots and how that shows their importance.
-
The connection of the ancient formula for the Lots with modern astrology discoveries, especially Uranian astrology.
-
Most importantly, the class will teach how to use these two Lots in practice; what to look for in the natal chart, in transits, and in synastry between charts.

October 2020: We have some sad news to share with you all about one of our NCGR San Diego Board members. Our beloved Vice President, Diane Ronngren, recently transitioned from this earthly plane. She is now with the stars she loved and watched for many, many years, and reuniting with family, friends, and pets she’s not been with in quite some time.
This is a devastating loss for many of us who held Diane close in our hearts, and she will be greatly missed. Because of the pandemic, we are unable to gather together in person to celebrate Diane’s life. If you wish to do something to commemorate Diane’s life and contribution to astrology, I’m sure she would be honored to have donations made in her name to the Helen Woodward Animal Center https://animalcenter.org/
