February Meeting
2025-02-20 19:00 - 21:00 | GA
For the past 500 years Nostradamus has been the most famous psychic astrologer on the planet. Join your host Larry Filoso as together we delve into the methods and tools which Nostradamus used. Larry has been researching Nostradamus for 50 years.
Attendees will learn to use some of Nostradamus’s amazing techniques.
We will also look at new translations of some of his famous Quatrains. We will “open the vault” to reveal some of his other prophecies, which have been hidden for centuries. Larry will document his theories that Nostradamus used an astrological computer from another time and also used a magical mirror from the Aztec shaman of Mexico.

March Monthly Meeting
2025-03-20 19:30 - 21:00 | The Rene Goodale Learning Center, 2054 Harobi Drive, Tucker, GA, 30084, United States
Part Two of Nostradamus: How did he do it? by Larry Filoso

In the first episode of “Nostradamus: How Did He Do It?“, which was broadcast on February 20, 2025, we examined two of the four tools that Nostradamus used to make his predictions. The first two were his considerable psychic abilities and how governments today use individuals with those talents to help protect their citizens. Top-secret military scientists call this Remote Viewing.
In Part Two, we will review Nostradamus’s other two tools: ancient hidden astrology books and A Computer from Another Time. Prepare to be surprised.

April Monthly Meeting

The Aries Point – Mundane Applications as well as Natal Chart
Frances Rackow studied the Aries Point as a key indicator in the natal chart during her studies with Noel Tyl and has previously presented this topic. We will revisit some of the reasons why these 0-degree Cardinal points seem so significant at the April astrology meeting.
Transiting Neptune and Saturn are going to be at the Aries Point this year, so we can have an interesting conversation about the potential manifestations of this very significant event. Fran will have examples from the past to give us some insight.
Come join us in person or via Zoom to have an enjoyable evening of astrology! Bring your Neptune keywords and contribute to the discussion!

Exploring Astrodynes, also known as Cosmodynes
2025-07-17 19:30 - 21:00 | GA
Exploring Astrodynes, also known as Cosmodynes
The topic of Astrodynes is not commonly discussed in astrological circles, however, it serves as a fascinating tool for evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of planetary placements, signs, houses, and aspects. They provide numerical scores that clarify interpretations based on birth chart data.
Please join us at our July meeting as we explore this interesting technique. Feel free to bring your own chart, or better yet, send your birth data: date, time (the more accurate the time, the better) and place (city, state and country, if applicable) prior to the meeting so we have it ready to discuss. Email your data to “Info@atlantaastrology.com.”
Prepare to come away with a few “aha” moments that will help you appreciate the apparent strengths in your chart as well as the areas you’ll need to strengthen in this lifetime.
Note: Monthly meetings are free for members. Non-members must purchase a ticket.

Our friend Saturn: Seriously? Friend?
2025-09-18 19:30 - 21:00 | GA
Perhaps it can be said that in astrological circles, no planet elicits quite the collective sigh as that of Saturn. But is that actually fair? Does Saturn get a bad rap for no good reason? What is the silver lining to this planet that many of us would prefer to ignore? Let’s explore the natal charts of several highly successful people who have managed to use even challenging Saturnian aspects to their distinct advantage!

Presented by Kathryn Silverton

The Star of Bethlehem: The Star is the Sun by Robert Tippett
2025-10-16 19:30 - 21:00 | GA
Our presenter, Robert Tippett, has calculated the birth chart for the historical Jesus. Initially, this was not a project he thought to tackle. Instead, it was a dawning with an inner drive to find out how to begin to figure out when Jesus could have been born. The result was a phenomenal chart that must be shared. The validity of the chart is supported by the ‘Christmas stories’ in the Bible, as well as by scholars who have examined the timeline of Herod the Great in depth. Robert offers the research that led him to this chart, making some basic assumptions that logic says would have to be true. This presentation showcases a birth chart (with variations) that even novice students of astrology should find remarkable. Based on Biblical information and knowledge of the Hebrew calendar and festivals, a couple of transit or event charts for his death and resurrection will also be included. Robert feels this chart is an opinion that needs to be tested, because there are no birth certificates for Jesus waiting to be found.

About our presenter, Robert Tippett
Robert was born and raised in Atlanta. He’s a Scorpio Sun in the 10th house. Robert became interested in astrology in 1976, finding out about M.A.A.S. in 1978. He joined M.A.A.S. and took some basic courses offered by leaders of the group. In 1991, he planned to become certified, and studied through astrologers at M.A.A.S. He underwent testing in October 1991 and passed. He then purchased a business license from the City of Atlanta for 1992, to be able to say, “Certified and licensed astrologer.” Robert practiced as a professional astrologer sparingly. Due to career coming first, astrology became a private hobby.
In 1998, Robert moved to Arlington, TX . After April 1, 2001, insight about Traditional Planetary Rulership led to speaking on that topic at the Houston NGCR affiliate. After the events of 9/11/2001, insight into the meaning of The Prophecies of Nostradamus became a life changing commitment for him. He spoke about The Future According to Nostradamus in Houston, as well as the North Texas Astrological Society, in Fort Worth. During that time, he defended Nostradamus before an organized group of North Texas Skeptics, in Dallas.
While beginning to translate the quatrains of Nostradamus in a local coffee shop, Robert developed a following from doing Tarot readings, putting up a sign that said, “Free Readings For Fools … All Others $5.” He found that work to be most rewarding on a spiritual level.
In 2003, he returned to Atlanta and spoke at M.A.A.S. about The Future According to Nostradamus. On August 1, 2005, he moved to Waveland, MS and shortly thereafter experienced Hurricane Katrina on August 29, 2005, He lost all his possessions and was Ignored by F.E.M.A. due to having no proof of residency.
Robert has published multiple books explaining The Prophecies of Nostradamus between 2006 and 2012. He became a publisher – Katrina Pearls – in 2010. He spoke about The Astrology of Nostradamus in Fort Worth, Chattanooga, TN, and M.A.A.S. in 2011. In late 2016, insight about the birth of Jesus and discovering an amazing natal chart for him led to courses presenting The Astrology of the Holy Bible to a church in Colombia, MS. In 2017 the same topic was presented to a church in Mount Airy, NC. In 2020,he published The Star of Bethlehem: The Timing of the Life of Jesus.
From understanding how to read Nostradamus, the same divine syntax applies to the writings of the Holy Bible. Since 2009, websites have been created where articles explaining Nostradamus and Scripture have been made freely available. In 2020, Bus Stop Sermons published prior on websites were published as four books in a series “From the Untrained Mind.” In 2025, the Scripture explanations are posted on www.katrinapearls.com, with the Nostradamus explanations posted on www.katrinapearls.wordpress.com, accessed through www.jean-de-chavigny.com.

“Calculating the Age of Aquarius-A brief history of cosmic time” by Stephen Poplin
2025-11-20 19:30 - 21:00 | GA
Calculating the Age of Aquarius – A Brief History of Cosmic Time
I have been very interested in the Great Ages for decades, and the ramifications of these mundane observations on world history – and the future. There is much debate about exactly when the Age of Aquarius begins. From this date the mysteries of The Great Ages are to be understood and developed. Once this date or time is calculated, we can look back in history and see the patterns of the Pisces Age and further back to the Aries Age. No small matter! Along the way, I will address the two main zodiacs, and I will strive to intrigue you with the implications of those differences that shed light on our very own Age of Aquarius, and beyond!

Dale O’Brian
When Evil Despots Seize Power…” : RE-MEMBERING CHIRON
Practical astrology: timeless insights for Saving Soul $18. Members Free (Year membership $50)
Chiron enters Taurus June 19th 2026 until July 2033 except for the last hurrah in Aries from September 2026 until April 2027. Come find out how Chiron in Taurus and the finishing months in Aries will evolve.
The late depth psychologist James Hillman said that when Spirit incarnates into
Matter, there be Soul.” Mythological astrological Chiron is the key to understanding
issues related to Soul. Soul is what makes us and other sentient beings who we are.
Animals are “animated” (“in-souled”). Individual humans can keep, lose or retrieve Soul.
“Some humans ain’t human” as John Prine sang, while other humans are blessedly
Soulful.
This sharing will look at contemporary and upcoming planetary placements and
aspects in relation to transiting Chiron. Chiron is now “in the dark” before Chiron’s
Return (if any of us make it there in time with bodies and Souls intact). Chiron-related
stories show us how “against all odds” certain individuals attained the good, the wise, the
sustainable. If they could, we can!
DALE O’BRIEN, 75, former MAAS member, began his study of astrology at age 18 and
became a full time astrologer and Jim Lewis-certified Astro*Carto*Grapher in 1991. He
has shared diverse astrology in a variety of ways, including (but not limited to) in-person
and telephone consultations, talks and classes for local, national and international
astrology organizations, in print (such as in The Mountain Astrologer), one-to-one
tutoring, via the radio, internet interviews, “online” via his website and Substack, etc.
Dale was one of the original “brainstormers” of Chiron in the 1980s and presented an
eight-week “Introduction to Chiron” course for MAAS in the 1990s. He currently lives,
like mythological Chiron, in Nature in Oregon. When actually indoors, he welcomes
conversation and inquiries via phone (not text) and/or email or postal mail.
Free for members. Yearly membership is $50

October Meeting Alan Clay Pluto's Brothers
2026-10-15 19:30 - 21:00 | GA
We are excited to announce the return of Alan Clay, the founder and teacher of Dwarf Planet University. On this auspicious day of Pluto moving direct we will discover the meanings of Pluto’s brothers; Ixion and Orcus. Come hear how we can discover the deeper meaning of Orcus a
nd Ixion.

New Stars for a New Era
focusing on
The Karmic Consciousness of Orcus

And the Seeker Consciousness of Ixion

Many astrologers believe that new planets are discovered when we are ready to incorporate the new consciousness represented by that planet into our existing consciousness. With the discovery of 10 new planets this century, we’re entering a period of rapid consciousness development, and this is enabling a whole new understanding of who and where we are.

This talk is based on Alan’s book, New Stars for a New Era: A Consciousness Workbook for our 10 New Planets. It will give an overview of the aspects of consciousness represented by each of our ten new planets and then go into more detail on Ixion, Pluto’s new lawless brother, who enables us to push boundaries, follow our bliss, and be authentic in our spirituality, and on Orcus, Pluto’s new straight-talking brother, who teaches us to align with a creed, to develop karmic integrity, and at the top level to transmute shadow into light. We will look at exercises to practically apply the energy, and at house interpretations with examples of famous people, to bring them to life.

To make this information practical, at the end of the talk we will look at Ixion and Orcus’ placement in a few charts of participants. If you would like your chart included, send your birth date, place, & time in advance to alan@artmedia.com.au

The talk has grown out of research at the Dwarf Planet University where we see, by simply making these new aspects conscious, students become empowered and their lives are transformed. We need to engage with these new consciousness energies to take them out of the unconscious area of action. To enable this, both the talk and the book include consciousness exercises for each planet, so we can on-board their energy in our lives. As we do, we will become empowered, and our lives will be transformed.

New Stars for a New Era: A Consciousness Workbook for our 10 New Planets
“Alan Clay has written a comprehensive book on the newly discovered dwarf planets, exploring everything from their mythology to practical application. More than just reading about these celestial bodies, Alan shows us how to work with their energies and incorporate them into our lives. Best of all, the book is accessible to both seasoned astrologers and novices eager to gain an understanding of the emergence of new consciousnesses in our world. A strong recommendation for this groundbreaking book.” Armand Diaz, from an upcoming review in the NCGR Memberletter

Alan Clay is a New Zealand writer & astrologer. He is the NCGR International Delegate for New Zealand and one of the most popular speakers in the International Talks program. Reviewers are calling his book, New Stars for a New Era: A Consciousness Workbook for our 10 New Planets, “groundbreaking” & “highly recommended”.
