This will be a more interactive presentation as we want to encourage participants to bring a quick prediction from their own personal research or study to share with the group. We will write these down and keep track during the year as to who made the most accurate prediction!

Astrology in Renaissance Art: Representation and Meaning
2023-02-09 18:00 - 21:00 | The Rene Goodale Learning Center, 2054 Harobi Drive, Tucker, GA, 30084, United States
For the Month of February only, our meeting date and format will be different. Instead of meeting on the third Thursday of the month at 7:30, we will be meeting In Person ONLY February 9th. We will be featuring a Zoom presentation of the Smithsonian’s Astrology in Renaissance Art: Representation and Meaning.
MAAS doors will open at 6:00 pm. The presentation runs from 6:15 to 8:15, after which we will have a post lecture discussion.
We look forward to seeing you at the Pyramid!

DESCRIPTION: The study and practice of astrology re-entered Western Europe in the early 12th century, primarily via Spain. There Arabic and Jewish scholars had preserved ancient astrology, but also added much to it, particularly in abstract rather than practical ways. By the 14th century, every university in Europe had a chair of astrology, and developments toward a more observationally based practice were taking place.
By the 15th century in Italy, particularly in Florence, we see the beginnings of the use of astrological imagery that was based on specific data, beyond the commonplace medieval representations of the zodiac signs or months, and the activities associated with them.
Among the early instances that represent the intersection of art and astrology in a particular time and place is a painting created for the dome above the altar in the older Medici Chapel of the church of San Lorenzo. The Medici family would continue to use astrological imagery to promote themselves and their increasing de-facto power in Florence through the century, as well as for personal protection. In the 16th century, the use of astrological imagery as propaganda for destined rule reached new levels under Duke Cosimo I de’ Medici, first Grand Duke of Tuscany.
The controversies over the Arabic theory of planetary conjunctions, especially that of 1484, which predicted the end of the Christian religion, helped to drive European developments in the practice of astrology and its representation in art. Join art critic and professor emerita of art history at Montgomery College Claudia Rousseau as she explains what astrology actually is, how it works, and its mathematical basis, as well as its cultural importance and how it was represented in art in the Renaissance era. The Christian astrologer’s motto: “The stars do not compel, they incline.”
ABOUT THE SPEAKER: This presentation is brought to you by the Smithsonian.

2nd February 2023 Meeting!
2023-02-16 19:30 - 21:00 | The Rene Goodale Learning Center, 2054 Harobi Drive, Tucker, GA, 30084, United States
“2023: The Pluto Return Continues” was the title of Frances Rackow’s presentation on predicting what’s ahead for 2023.
What Frances Rackow did not note is that the Lunar New Year, the New Moon, just two days after our meeting, was occurring right on that 1 degree Aquarius “hot degree.”
What a hot degree it turned out to be! Antifa came back and appeared in our own city of Atlanta, shooting at police, getting shot, causing destruction and a burning police car. This violence was not limited to Atlanta.
We noted that in 1969 Nixon was elected and he had his “Watergate” event involving the FBI, and recent new suggests our current President may have some legal challenges coming.
Since we have no regular meeting scheduled this month due to the presentation the week before, I thought it would be fun to offer to meet at the building or online with those of you who might like to continue the conversation about 2023, particularly in light of what events have been triggered by the lunation on the hot degree!
I will come prepared with a chart for the U. S. Constitution and anything else that I have time to research beforehand. I would like this to be an opportunity for members to contribute and feel free to ask me any specific questions, as well as offer your insights as to what current events portend for the upcoming year.

Items we discussed in January regarding 2023:

The United States’ Pluto return to its natal chart is still in orb. (I would like to revisit that a bit.)
The Great Mutation of Jupiter conjunct Saturn also conjunct Pluto in December 21, 2020, the beginning of a 240 year cycle of conjunctions in air after 240 years of dominantly Earth conjunctions. Fran presented the predictions of Barbara Kovall from 1993 which were amazingly prescient, even entitling the chapter “The New World Order” in her book.

(One member shared an alternative view of the cycle, which was very interesting.)

The last Mars-Saturn Conjunction
Eclipses in 2022 and the previous events of the same Saros Cycle in 2005
Eclipses in 2022 and the previous events of the same eclipse degrees in 2004, looking back at Bill Meridian’s forecast in Dell Horoscope magazine.
Bill Meridian’s “Economic Prediction” book and the negative economic indicators present in 2023 per that work.
The Eclipse of 1969 is close in longitude to the eclipse on the west coast and into South America as the 2023 October eclipse path, because the longitude of eclipses recurs in a 54 year cycle.
The current Solar Ingress.
Determining the “Hot Degrees” for 2023 and when those aspects would occur.

By far the “hottest degree” is the area of late Cardinal and Early Fixed degrees, due to the movement of Pluto back and forth between late Capricorn and early Aquarius, triggering the Jupiter-Saturn, USA natal Pluto, and other aspects during the year.
A handout with upcoming dates of transits to eclipse points, etc. was given out.

March Meeting: Are you feeling Lucky?
2023-03-16 19:30 - 21:00 | The Rene Goodale Learning Center, 2054 Harobi Drive, Tucker, GA, 30084, United States

🍀🍀March 16, 2023: Are You Feeling Lucky? 🍀🍀In Honor of St. Patrick’s Day, our theme for this month is Luck and Jupiter’s role in our charts. This will be an open discussion where all participants are invited and encouraged to share their observations about Jupiter.
We’ll invite folks to share the following:

Where’s Jupiter by sign, house, and aspect in your chart?
What are your Jupiter experiences?
How does your Jupiter placement show up in your life?
Are you doubly blessed by Jupiter, such as having Jupiter on an angle or are you Sagittarius or Pisces rising? What’s that like, extra credit?!

And if time allows:

Where does the Jupiter in Aries transit impact you and your chart?
How can we use Jupiter in Aries transit to show up courageously for ourselves?
What balance needs to be kept in mind during this transit
We’ll also look at Prominent Jupiter celebrities, and keywords, and review keywords in Rex Bill’s The Rulership book.
Jupiter Quotes

We ask that you reflect on Jupiter in your birth chart and come ready to share and listen to everyone’s unique experiences. See you there!

May 18 2023 Meeting
2023-05-18 19:30 - 21:00 | The Rene Goodale Learning Center, 2054 Harobi Drive, Tucker, GA, 30084, United States
The Astrological Chart of St. Gemma Galgani
An examination of one of the most paranormal and mystical lives in history, St. Gemma Galgani. We will investigate through her natal chart transits and the medical astrology implications of her life. We will see what paranormal experiences can be confirmed through astrology, and how her temperament aligns with what her priest and biographer, Ven. Germanus, tells us about her.
St. Gemma Galgani is an Italian girl who lived at the turn of the 20th Century and became what many call a “Victim Soul.” This is a person who takes on abnormal, supernatural suffering to atone for the sins of the world and thereby secure salvation for souls. For Gemma Galgani this manifested as weekly suffering the wounds of Jesus, mysterious illnesses, and physical attacks and manifestations of demonic creatures. She was said to have manifested every mystical ability: Prophecy, levitation, bi-location, ecstatic communications with Jesus, and Eucharistic fasting, as well as visibly seeing and communicating with her guardian angel at all times. Her life ended at 23, after months of suffering under a mysterious illness and increased demonic attack, and finally possession.
She was considered a living saint in her own lifetime. Many who knew her considered her sinless, including her priests. To be in her presence, to look her in the eyes was as if being in the presence of a seraph, it was said. In fact, she was known as the Seraph of Lucca.
She was beatified in 1933 and canonized in 1940. She is the patron saint of students, back pain, and purity. She is also invoked in exorcisms as the “scourge of demons.”
Presenter: Justin Showalter is an astrologer who writes on astrology and the saints and miracles of the Catholic Church on Substack at Astrology Of The Saints. He is a student of transits, planetary cycles, and mundane astrology.

Astrology: It's a Family Affair
2023-06-15 19:30 - 21:00
In honor of Mother’s and Father’s Days, we’re dedicating some time to exploring the astrology of family.
We’ll look at how family details and dynamics show up in a variety of birth charts – things like:

Parents
Siblings
Family Values
Home Life
Ancestors

Everyone is invited to share your own family experience and how it shows up in your birth chart.

Have you had the opportunity to sit with your chart and contemplate how your family shows up? Submit your birth chart info to info@atlantaastrology.com if you plan to attend and would like to share about your family story, so we can have your chart ready to view on screen for the group to see and learn from.
Have you taken the time to look at a handful of birth charts in your Family Tree? Have you compared your parents and siblings charts with your own? You’ll be invited to share ancestral patterns that show up in your family during our time together (i.e. similar birthdates, Sun/Moon/Rising signs, a strong aspect with a certain planet, etc.). We won’t be able to view entire family trees of birth charts, but we can still learn from interesting patterns you’ve observed and experienced by being an astrological observer of multiple family charts.

As Erin Sullivan points out so beautifully in the introduction to her book, The Astrology of Family Dynamics, “The solar system itself operates much in the same way as a family does… powerful bodies inextricably tied in together, creating a self-supporting life-system – an organic whole made up of unique and individualistic parts.”
This conversation will be facilitated by Julie Remington. See you at the event!

The First Human Clone? with Larry Filoso
2023-07-20 19:30 - 21:00
The First Human Clone?
Two days after Christmas in 2002 a scientist announced to televisions all over the world that her research team had successfully brought to birth the first human clone in history. They called the clone Eve. Her mother (and the donor of the DNA) was a 31-year old American. Dr. Brigitte Boisselier, CEO of Clonaid, also said that three more clones would be born the following month, and a fifth later.
At the July meeting we will watch the announcement as it occurred in December 2002, then we will discuss the natal and progressed charts of the person who may be The First Human Clone.

Why? Why? Why? Questions as Technique to Invoke Outer Planetary Archetypes
2023-09-21 19:30 - 21:00 | The Rene Goodale Learning Center, 2054 Harobi Drive, Tucker, GA, 30084, United States
Description.
Evolutionary astrology asks, Why? Why… Do I have this birth chart? Why…Was I born into this family, culture, circumstance? Why do I keep falling into the same traps? And… very importantly, how do I change? Questions offer options, possibility, open-endedness… they kindle inquiry, digging, selfawareness. They help us become the authors of our own lives. Every planet, every sign, every house, aspect, point… they all ask questions, sometimes multiple questions. In this talk we explore the questions that outer planets ask. We play with how to customize them to fit each individual client’s chart and circumstance. We explore how in the invoking of these questions during a reading, the natal chart can continue to blossom within the client long after the reading/consultation itself is complete.
Meet Astrologer & Speaker, Meghna Bhagat.
A lifelong student of the mysteries, I’ve traveled delightful, sometimes unconventional, roads across the globe both physically and philosophically in pursuit of questions. Wondering about the nature of existence has taken me through academia and esoteric traditions of the East and West, personal growth and counseling modalities… always into rich, deep, and often perplexing, territory. When I encountered the depth of insight available through evolutionary astrology, I recognized a powerful tool for the journey. It’s potential for healing and growth spurred me to its study. The focus of my practice is choice-centered, question-based, evolutionary astrology as taught primarily by Steven Forrest. My education includes a grounding in traditional techniques learned through Kepler College and the School for Traditional Astrology.

The Basics of Finding MidPoints and Solar Arcs in the 90° Dial with Kathy Allan
2024-05-16 19:30 - 21:00 | The Rene Goodale Learning Center, 2054 Harobi Drive, Tucker, GA, 30084, United States
Topic
The 90° dial is uniquely suited to finding midpoints and 8th harmonic aspects that are useful for chart delineation. The Solar Arcs move natal points at the rate of the natal Sun, which means the patterns in the radix remain the same as they advance through time. For each natal midpoint, there are four solar arcs that repeat over a lifetime. We’ll see how to find the recurring themes and how to time them using the dial.

2025-01-16 19:30 - 21:00 | The Rene Goodale Learning Center, 2054 Harobi Drive, Tucker, GA, 30084, United States
Several of the outer planets will be changing signs in 2025. Jupiter moves into Cancer, Saturn and Neptune move from Pisces to Aries for a spell before moving back into Pisces, Uranus will dip her toes into Gemini before moving back into Taurus, the Moon’s north node enters Pisces early in the year and if that’s not enough excitement, Pluto has just moved into Aquarius. What does that all mean? We’ll talk about how we can make the most of the upcoming cycles individually and spiritually. Bring your chart and let’s share our impressions of the new year.
