Chart Calculations
June Sat 6, Sun 14 & Fri 24, July Sat 11 & Sun 26, Aug 16

Learn how to cast an astrological chart without the use of a computer. The process of calculating a birth chart holds a vast amount of information that helps create a deeper understanding of how astrology works. In the first workshop on June 6 we will cover how to calculate and draw up a natal chart using the birth data: time, place and date.

The second class will review calculating the angles of a chart plus the calculation of the planets and then drawing up of the chart itself. The next class we move on to the more Advanced Calculations of Progressions and Solar Arcs for those who wish to sit for the FAA Calculation Exam on Aug 23. There will ba a mock exam held on July 25th.

Making Beautiful Mosaics
Wednesday 9 - 12am

Mosaic is the art of creating images with an assemblage of small pieces of colored glass, stone, tiles or other material. It is often used for decorative art pieces or an aspect of interior decoration. Learn the basics and create beautiful mosaics using recycled tiles, broken vases, old crockery, glass and mirror. There’s a starter piece for beginners  and you will be asked to bring an object, a garden pot perhaps to mosaic and add colour to your garden.  

Open Class: come on the days you can manage
and only pay for the ones you attend.
Costs: $20 per class
most materials (glue and tiles) included
Venue: The Shed Studio

Perth Weekend: Nov 7/8

DAY 1: The Asteroids
Witches, Goddesses or Wise Women.   

Where is the goddess walking today? That wild and wise aspect of the feminine, the spirit of the witch that oozes passion and intuition and drives us deep into our inner senses. The first of the asteroids found was named Ceres, in 1801, after a powerful feminine archetype of the Great Mother. Ceres was soon joined by Vesta, Juno, Pallas Athene and many other Olympian goddesses to mark the re-emergence of empowered feminine force

What effect has the awakening of these archetypes had on our modern psyche? Man or woman, our choices have been affected. The influences of these goddesses have manifested and played out in the struggles and achievements of the changing face and roles of the men and women in today’s society. Find out where these issues fit into your life story.

What is it that the asteroids add to the consultation process, how does the use of asteroids augment our practice as astrologers? There will be time to look at examples of how the themes of the asteroids can be delineated and understood when looking at a chart as a whole unit. The major four plus Lilith and Hygeia will be included in the chart delineation.

DAY 2: Healing Core Issues & the Asteroids

The ability to recognize and work with core issues is a necessary art in the work of an astrologer as it helps to centralise the reading of the issues displayed in a chart and to delineate their influences. The knowledge of how the psychological imprinting of the birth journey affects the undercurrents that continue to play throughout life is one of the keys to being able to be of aid to yourself or your clients. The core issues are present in our birth stories and rise in many forms throughout our lives as we integrate our personality. As we grow these core issues develop and unravel from every possible viewpoint. It is imperative that we understand the far reaching implications that the story of our birth plays in our lives.

The Asteroid Workshop 2009
TBA

fri 2 - 8pm; sat 9 - 5pm; sun 9 - 5pm

Powerful Goddesses of old have returned to the world of astrology through the study of asteroids and give us many new forms of understanding the ways of the feminine. What effect has the awakening of these archetypes had on our modern psyche? Man or woman, our choices have been affected. The acknowledgment and exploration of these strong voices can help to redress the balance of power, individually and collectively.

Join Tess in Byron Bay and explore the feminine archetypes represented by the asteroids, Ceres, Juno, Pallas, Vesta, Hygeia and Lilith. We will talk, draw, feast, tell stories, vision and dream as we activate and explore the voices of these intrinsic aspects of ourselves.

@ The Shed Yagars Lane, Byron Bay

Who are the witches?
Where do they come from?
Maybe your great, great grandmother was one?
Witches are wise, wise women they say,
There’s a little witch in every woman today.
