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!
