Updated 16 January 2021 - On Sunday, January 24, from 2:00 to 3:30 p.m., Nikki Davenport and Audria Gebhardt will present via Zoom "WELCOME TO 2021" which will highlight astrological events and insights for this year—aspects, eclipses, Ingresses, and more. Members will be sent an email around January 23 containing instructions for joining this meeting.
On Sunday, February 21, from 2:00 to 3:30pm, Ellen Bartin will present "SIX CONSECUTIVE NEW MOONS AT 23º: Seeding of a New Era."
For six months—October, 2020 through March 2021, each consecutive New Moon occurs at 23º—starting in Libra through Pisces. This represents a time of transition into a new era. The last time that a sequence of six or more New Moons occurred at 23º was during the Middle Ages, that is, until we leap forward five centuries to 1944, 1963, and 2020. In the modern era, for the United States, each of these years was a distinctive turning point in cultural and societal change, and a change in our global power dynamics. Where will we find ourselves by the Pisces New Moon on March 13, 2021?
Members will be sent an email around February 20 containing instructions for joining this meeting.
