Workshop Outline This is a year of a rare planetary alignment, and Pluto is a major player in the Cardinal Cross which is occurring. Throughout Pluto’s passage in Capricorn, it works with Saturn the ruler of Capricorn. The Cardinal Cross forming involving both Pluto and Saturn will heighten the effect of their association. On the second day of the seminar we will also look at how this planetary configuration affects the major transformational processes of our current times. Lynn Bell's Biography After giving seminars throughout France for a number of years, Lynn became one of the principle tutors at the Centre for Psychological Astrology in 1995.

Lunch - There are plenty of cafes 5 minutes walk from the venue in Queen St, Woollahra, however the cafes tend to be busy on the weekends and are at ‘Woollahra’ prices. If using these venues for lunch we suggest you go directly there in the break and order as quickly as possible. If you would prefer to bring your own lunch the venue has plenty of seating both inside and in the surrounding gardens. Car Parking - There is some unrestricted parking on Saturday and Sunday around the area however there is usually not an abundance of parking so if you can car pool that may help. Train – Located between Edgecliff and Bondi Junction Stations 15 - 20 mins walk along Edgecliff Rd from either direction. Bus – Check Sydney bus timetables. A 15-20min walk if getting off at the corner of Queen St and Oxford St, Woollahra (at the beginning of Centennial Park) and walking down Queen St, to Edgecliff Rd.
Lynn Bell and Caroline
Myss will be presenting a Workshop

“Most of us resist change, not everywhere, not all the
time, but the force of the familiar, of our habit nature, has a
hold on our lives, and our comfort. There are changes we long for, we dream
of, we exult in; and even in these, there is an undertow of caution and
regret. A child leaves home, and a parent may feel both delight and loss. A
hated job ends, tipping us into freedom and profound distress. These are times of change and we are resisting. Changes have rippled through our world since September of 2008, with the near collapse of the financial system, and the continuing aftershocks. A major planetary cycle came into effect at that time, one that continues even now, and will culminate this summer. Every forty-five years, as Saturn and Uranus face off in the sky, our foundations are shaken, our polarity reversed. Change and the resistance to change are the hallmarks of these times, We know things cannot stay the same, that the system is broken, but no one agrees on how to fix it. It is the same in our own lives. Right now, the archetypal battle between stasis and change is being waged all about us, Even in tonight’s sky the full moon speaks of complete letting go, or holding on for dear life. Issues are painted in extremes, the collective tug of war between purists and progressives are reflected in the exaggerations of the media, in the hyperbole of politics. We have had hope and fear, elation and discouragement, paranoia and provocation. This Mercury retrograde time, which runs right now from April 18th to May 11th, is often a trickster season, when our expectations are revealed to be just that, where our illusions of control are mocked by disruptions of many kinds. Here, the ripple-on effects of last week’s volcanic travel disruptions are everywhere, a day’s travel becomes a week away, appointments missed, connections slipped, and others mysteriously brought together. These regular retrograde times remind us things are not often the way we imagine them to be. Right now they punctuate the much larger shifts happening within and around us.
The structures that have held the world together are in
need of repair, replacement and sometimes demolition. Not with copies of the
old, but with new configurations. Mythologically, the Titan Saturn, rose up against a
repressive Uranus and seized control of the cosmos. The battle between old
and new is archetypal and recurrent. Cycles return, and they are similar,
but never the same. Sometimes it ends in repression, and often, the next
time, it comes with devastation. The break out of the sixties, when this
cycle was fuelled by an even more potent configuration, began with
tremendous resistance. People were beaten and jailed, burned and spat upon.
Elders were called pigs, soldiers were baby-killers. Young people were shot,
and the list goes on. The echoes of that time are clearly audible in today’s
fractured dialogue. |
