Saturn in Pisces – Pluto in Aquarius
with Shawn Nygaard
Saturn in Pisces & Pluto in Aquarius – Dreamtime & the World to Come
As we head deeper into the 21st century, slow-moving planets continue to make their way through the watery part of the zodiac – the signs of Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces. In March 2023, Pluto moves from Capricorn into Aquarius, shortly after Saturn moves from Aquarius into Pisces, all the while Neptune continues moving through the later degrees of Pisces. Like a ship making its way through vast unknown seas, at times stormy and violent and at other times calm and occasionally smooth, we gaze behind us at a world fading away, and we look ahead into a world not yet formed.
The question remains, as perhaps asked by Queen Elizabeth to sea-faring Sir Walter Raleigh, “Do we discover the new world, Mister Raleigh, or does the new world discover us?” This webinar looks into the possibilities, potentials, and pitfalls of Saturn and Pluto’s significant sign changes – the nature of these shifts and what they ask of us. We’ll look more into the watery part of the sky as well as where March 2023 fits into the greater cycles of the last few decades.

Reclaiming Retrogrades
with Leslie Francis
Reclaiming Retrogrades
Expand your understanding of retrograde planets beyond the one-dimensional view that they are weak and ineffectual by exploring them through a lens that shows they are not only strong and powerful, but as important to our lives as planets in direct motion. Everything in life cannot and is not always forward movement. Enter the retrograde planets whose purpose is to remind us that we have an inner life, an inner reality that provides a different kind of fuel and a different pathway to living life.

The Astrological Signature of Psychics, Mediums and Healers
with Cassandra Joan Butler
“The Astrological Signature of Psychics, Mediums and Healers”
Is there something unique about the natal charts of psychics, mediums, and healers? That was the question which spurred astrologer Cassandra Joan Butler to conduct a research study which gathered the charts of hundreds of these unique practitioners. Findings reflected her hypothesis about outer planetary effects on the subjects’ personal planets and offered some surprises. During her NCGR workshop Cassandra will share her research approach and findings. She will also introduce the participants to a unique method of enhancing one’s natural intuitive gifts, techniques she teaches as a faculty member at the ‘Fellowship of the Spirit.’ A most timely talk as Saturn transits Pisces!
Cassandra Joan Butler, BSW, MS, LMT has been a noted practitioner of astrology, spiritual development, and bodywork since 1987. Her astrology workshop experience includes presentations at UAC, SOTA, TAG, the CIA, and the Kepler Conference. Cassandra writes for several national publications and is the producer/host of the internet show `Cosmic Connections’. She is the founding pastor of the Divine Grace Fellowship Church, which blends astrological wisdom with a healing ministry. Cassandra is an enthusiastic NCGR member and enjoys astrological research and sharing with others. http://www.cassandrajoanbutler.com
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/
