From Nikki: - Discover how to move forward into the upcoming NEW YEAR path with wisdom and self-awareness! We are the choice makers and we will explore YEAR 2025 and learn how to apply the planetary information of cosmic time-keeping. Whatever level of astrological expertise, from beginner to professional, you will participate in new methods to successfully time your yearly movements and have at your fingertips the important cosmic energies throughout 2025. -

On Sunday, February 9, 2025, we will meet on Zoom at 2pm for a presentation on "ASTROLOGICAL REMEDIATION" by Andrea Gehrz of Portland, Oregon. From Andrea - Do you have a difficult natal aspect? Do you struggle to help clients in hard transits? This webinar will provide you the theory and methodology behind a study called Astrological Remediation. Remediation is the act of healing or fixing anything tough in an astrological chart. Topics will include a myriad of ideas — including but not limited to gemstone remedies, appropriate activities and contexts for certain aspects, strategic planning, using composites as remedies, yoga, and much, much more. This class will build on the popular textbook, entitled Astrological Remediation: A Guide for the Modern Practitioner. There is always a solution! Find the book here.

PREVIOUS PROGRAMS:
On Sunday, December 29, Ellen Bartin presented on Zoom “BEING IN YOUR ELEMENT: Fire, Earth, Air & Water." Are you high spirited, or a pragmatist, a thinker-communicator, or emotionally intelligent? We are, of course, combinations of all these fundamental human qualities. In this workshop, we looked at the planets and signs in our birth chart—and calculated the balance—where we express ourself most comfortably, dynamically. How do the elements express themselves and what occurs if there is a singleton or missing element? What is the dominant or under-represented element in the chart: Fire (action oriented), Earth (sensing, practical), Air (aware and relational), or Water (feeling and intuitive)? Ellen's elements worksheet was emailed to members and guests on Friday, December 27. Thank you, Ellen!
AAStL celebrated its 50th ANNIVERSARY on the afternoon of November 17th, when we gathered for a Celebration and Reunion at the Sky Music Lounge in Ballwin. It was a fun time with a diversity of delicious celebratory cakes from The Cup and a very enjoyable astro music playlist assembled by Rachel McCabe ... thanks to all who participated in person and on Zoom!
On Sunday, October 27 we met on Zoom, looking at candidates' charts and the U.S. Sibley chart in relation to the November U.S. Presidential Election. Charts, biographies, and additional information were presented by Nikki Davenport, Wendy Jamison, and Audria Gebhardt. Thank you for your research and excellent presentations, Nikki, Wendy, and Audria!

On Sunday, September 15, we met at Love Park in West County for a picnic and social hour, followed by TEACHING TABLES: Ellen Bartin led a table for Beginners on Signs, Planets and Houses, and Rachel McCabe led a table about Asteroids, including Ceres, Vesta, Pallas, Chiron and Hygiea.
On August 25, Nikki Davenport presented on Zoom Part 2 of her July program on Saturn in Pisces, entitled, "JUPITER SQUARE SATURN: THE HUMANITARIAN PLANETS SHOUT LOUDLY: An Astrological Online Playshop."
“During this time we will make many adjustments in our lives!”
From Nikki - Jupiter and Saturn are known as the “Social" or “Identity” forming planets. They work through the group psyche archetypes with emergence into consciousness and they both have loud thundering voices! Jupiter, the symbol of youth and renewal, in his retrograde shadow between 14-18 Gemini begins to square Saturn, the Lord of Time, in Pisces. This will last on and off until July 2025. Jupiter brings boundless ideas and personal breakthroughs. Saturn calls on us to make the effort and stay realistic. Jupiter wants us to learn and Saturn expects us to be here and now.
Join us to learn how to handle “Jupiter square Saturn” rough patches, how to find our vision and/or our ambition in midst of the upcoming agitation, and how to keep the momentum in our own hands! We will explore how to brave the T-Square storms in August and September. A peek at dates:
Jupiter 17 Gemini square Saturn 17 Pisces R on August 19, 2024
Jupiter 14 Gemini R square Saturn 14 Pisces on December 24, 2024
Jupiter 1 Cancer square Saturn 1 Aries on June 15, 2025
On July 21, we met on Zoom for Nikki Davenport's presentation of "SATURN IN PISCES: An Astrological Online Playshop." From Nikki - Join us for a romp on the seashore. We will play with the seashells, rest in the Sun, and find out what Saturn is doing as he moves through the sign Pisces. He is traveling in Pisces from March 7, 2023 to May 24, 2025 and again will travel there from August 31, 2025 to February 13, 2026. In mythology Saturn is identified with the Greek God, Cronus, the God of Time. Saturn's evolutionary lesson is "FAITH." Pisces is the "Wandering Minstrel." Pisces calls the seafarers, guides, mystics, poets, and romantics. The Sirens sing. We have an unusual path ahead. Come learn how to work with the God of Time in his Pisces digs and how Saturn, swimming in the spiritual waters, will be working in your personal chart. We will include Saturn adventures in 2025 and beginning of 2026 when we start a new World Journey, as Saturn meets NEPTUNE at 0 Aries. - Nikki will present Part 2 of Saturn in Pisces on Sunday, August 25.

On Sunday, May 19, we met at Greentree Park in Kirkwood for a picnic and social hour, followed by our program presented by Audria Gebhardt entitled "ECLIPSES 2024 AND 2025." From Audria - Eclipses repeat themselves with the same degree and sign every 18 or 19 years and we want to look at how we experienced the eclipses we have this year, especially the 19 degree Aries Total Solar Eclipse that we were fortunate to see in our area. - Thank you for sharing your research and your handy charts, Audria!
On Sunday, April 14, we met on Zoom when Linda Sherwin presented "JUPITER AND URANUS MEET IN TAURUS: A PARADIGM SHIFT!" From Linda: - The Extraordinary Sequence of Events in March and April will culminate in the Jupiter-Uranus Conjunction on April 20. Are you ready for a breakthrough? - Thank you, Linda, for your excellent slides and for your research into historic paradigm shifts during more than two centuries of Jupiter-Uranus conjunctions!
On Sunday, March 17, we met at Kirkwood Community Center for two brief programs. Linda Chambers facilitated a roundtable discussion of AAStL's natal chart, with brief looks at its 2023 and 2024 Solar Returns (49th and 50th solar returns). Dee Kedley presented from a Vedic astrology perspective, "TITHI – THE LUNAR DAY." Tithi is the angular distance between the longitude of the Sun and Moon measured in 12-degree increments, from New Moon to Full Moon and from Full Moon to New Moon. Thank you, Dee, and to all who participated in the roundtable discussion! Charts and handouts were emailed to members on Thursday March 14.
On February 11 we met on Zoom for a Roundtable Discussion of "PLUTO ENTERING AQUARIUS" facilitated by Phoenix Novak. From Phoenix: - Pluto, the planet of transformation, death, and rebirth now leaves the very Earthy and Materialistic sign of Capricorn and enters the Airy sign of Aquarius. How we looked at our world through the eyes of Capricorn was a long journey, and now Pluto enters the reality of Aquarius, bringing personal and collective truth, the fates of humanity, and the winds of change to our door. - Participants shared transiting and natal Pluto's location and aspects in their natal charts. Thank you, Phoenix, and all who participated!

On Sunday, March 16, at 2pm, Phoenix Novak will facilitate on Zoom a Roundtable Discussion of NEPTUNE IN ARIES. Join Phoenix in this open Roundtable group discussion of Neptune entering Aries on the 30th of March 2025, staying until the 22nd of October 2025, before returning to Aries for good on January 26, 2026 (until 2039). From Phoenix - This transition will have an impact on the Cardinal signs (just as it did on the Mutable signs that started in 2012). Neptune's state of consciousness, the unconscious, delusion, inspiration, dreaming, mysticism, and the all-important negative and positive escapism meets Aries' action, aggression, assertiveness, competitiveness, conquests, and courage. The Saturn–Neptune conjunction will also have an influencing impact, which starts in July of 2025, then the exact conjunction at 0° Aries on February 20, 2026 bringing heavy masculine energies to the forefront. We see a little bit of this already starting with the conflict between Elon Musk, MAGA, and Trump. The last time Neptune entered Aries was in 1861, the same year the American Civil War started, then the Reconstruction era, and in 1865 the assassination of President Lincoln. That Neptune-Aries journey ended in 1874.
The vast Neptunian landscape is made up of karma, hidden quicksand, self-undoing, and the foggy mist entering our mind-body functions which can be triggering. Neptune reveals itself very slowly, guiding us toward self-awareness in order to make changes to maintain balance and unity. If we refuse, we may find ourselves in Neptune's prison for a duration of time and wonder how we ended up there.-
