Sunday, 16 Nov 2025 – Astro-Weather Forecast for 2026 – SOLAR

It's our first annual gathering to celebrate 2026! Here, we look at what's ahead, as projected by Solar Astrologers. The Circle is open to everyone interested worldwide. I don't need to tell you, we seem to be in for our bumpy ride to continue. It's all those giant outer planet moving in to new zodiac houses, this time to stay for years on end. Join the online group, learn how to prepare, and grow comfortable with the changes underway.

Time: 1-4p Central Standard Time US

Sunday, 18 January 2026 – LUNAR Year 2026 Astro-Weather Forecast

It's our other annual gathering, in which we look ahead at what lunar astrologers project for the lunar year beginning in February. Nice to have two distinct perspective, solar and lunar, to help make sense of the multiple changes underway. After all, the Chinese Lunar Calendar gives this year over to the power of the Fire Horse. That's the gallop of the fastest horse rushing out of a house/barn ablaze. In other words, we can expect a mighty fast year, as if time's not speeding by quickly enough already. Come join us to learn ways to keep up the pace without burning out!

22Feb26 – Consciousness Raising ABC’s – Part A

The remedy to being soul weary? Learning to be soul worthy.

We like to assume we've spirit inside us at every moment. Not often when the world is in chaos, and we get caught up in the political and cultural glamour exploding around us constantly. We've become brow-chakra beaten, and we're only a few months into a 20 year transition from one astrological season to another. Come and explore how to get your soul back in your body, and ground it there, despite the war of the worlds going on around us. Your soul will thank you!

26April26 – Consciousness Raising ABC’s – Part B

What time is it anyway? Fast time, wasted time, no time, every time, lost time, spent time, and time, and again.

The very concept of time is wasted, lost and spent faster these days, than every in human history. This transition from patriarchal winter to Earth's new spring season, will lasts eons. And it's a seemingly limitless time period most of us think (and care) little about. But that must change. Our awareness of Earth's huge time cycles must grow. They are not limitless, they have bounds, and we are about to hit the wall of the circle of time dying out. There's more going on time-wise than just the superficial hands on a clock, or pages on a monthly calendar. Tribes of the Americas track fast time, yes. But also, deep time. These are held in Earth's consciousness, where we can join her, if we raise our own to the expanse and speed of the planet's developing mind. It's possible. For generations, tribal people have kept up to her pace. Join us and share in a glimpse of future time. It's exhilarating!
