A Plethora of Perspectives: Different Lenses for Viewing the Year Ahead

Outer planets change signs and form their aspects slowly and infrequently. Each new Aries ingress heralds a new chapter in the 20, 240, and 960-year cycles of Jupiter and Saturn’s great conjunctions. And then there are the transits against the backdrop of charts whether in our solar returns, or as their transfer their powers as chronocrators acting as the lords of time. Find out what each has to say to help you surf the waves of change!

This lecture will be presented in-person in Seattle to the Washington State Astrological Association, and simulcast on Zoom.

Thursday, November 12th, 7:30 - 9:00pm Pacific Time (doors open at 7pm)

Members/first-time guests: $10 | Returning guests: $20

Averting Adversity and Preparing to Persevere: A Guided Self-Exploration of the Year Ahead

Looking at your astrological year-ahead can be stressful–but it doesn’t have to be! With Bear as your guide, you’ll navigate the rivers of timelords, returns, and transits to identify the peaks and valleys of the upcoming year. We’ll go beyond simple profections, integrating other period lords, and determine which transits of the (classical & outer) planets are most important for you. We’ll get creative with visioning ways to digest and integrate all the information, and set you up for making the most of December’s Year-Ahead Forecast!

Saturday, November 14th, 10:00 - 2:00pm Pacific Time
