The Dark and The Light Feminine
With Lynn Bell
The nodal axis moving through Virgo and Pisces opens up a channel for the mystical feminine. Our experience of the feminine ranges from empathy to purifying rage, reflected by the exaltation and fall of Venus. Which face of the goddess is revealed in our own charts? Does love have a lion heart, a penetrating sting, or a limitless empathy? Does she hold a weapon in her hand or touch us with a soft caress?
The feminine, like the masculine, is not "one size fits all." Beyond gender, beyond cultural expectation, a particular face of the human experience is also opened by the Saturn Neptune conjunction, which has often brought miraculous appearances of the divine, often in feminine form.

The Black Moon Lilith: The Rebel Goddess In The Astrology Chart With Nadiya Shah
Lilith is widely known in myth as an independent, rebellious force. She is culturally considered a feminist symbol, insisting on equality and known for strength of self and spirit. in modern interpretations, her myth has evolved to include empowerment through sexual desire. Lilith in an astrology chart has many ways in which we embody the sacred, empowered and active feminine force within, regardless of our personal gender identity. It can also reveal some of the ways in which we assert our independence, in sometimes unconscious ways, or resist expressing.
This intensive will explore some key myths surrounding Lilith, and what it tells us about her astrological implications. We will first explore Lilith through each of the signs and houses, and then consider her in aspect to planets in your chart, so that you can understand your Lilith more deeply.

Uranus in Gemini, the Wake Up Call! With Lynn Bell
Uranus in Gemini enlivens the mind and spirit, and wakes up what has long been buried by complacency or habit. New ideas can seize the world with great force, but also split things into dark and light, pitting brother against sister, and redefining freedom.

The Great Sextile of 2025-2028: The Big World Changing Transits Yet To Be With Nadiya Shah
The second half of the decade features The Great Sextile of Pluto in Aquarius Trine Uranus in Gemini, with Neptune and Saturn sextile them both, most active between 2025-2028. This can indicate big, important, easy changes for the collective. But Chiron will be squaring Pluto at the tail end of that process, which suggests the big changes being promised will likely come through the pain of practicality and necessary vulnerability.
This talk will look ahead to what the major aspects that have yet to be can tell us about what we can expect, as we stand at the halfway point of a decade that can change everything.
