8 July 2012: The Astrology of Jean-Baptiste Morin

Maggie Anthony will be presenting a talk on the work of Jean-Baptiste Morin, the seventeenth century French astrologer. Morin's work is currently being re-discovered as a central part of the Western astrological canon.

From Wikipedia:

Perhaps most famous for his work as an astrologer, towards the end of his life Morin completed Astrologia Gallica ("French Astrology"), a treatise which he did not live to see in print. The 26 books of intricate, complex, Latin text were published at the Hague in 1661 as one thick folio 850 pages long. The work covers natal, judicial, mundane, electional and meteorological astrology, and parts that are most concerned with astrological techniques (as compared to theological discussion on which they are based) have been translated or paraphrased into French, Spanish, German, and English.

At least among English-speaking astrologers, Morin is known as having been particularly concerned with prediction through methodical extrapolation of what is promised in the natal chart. His techniques were directions, solar and lunar return, and he regarded transits a subsidiary technique though one key to accurate timing of events nonetheless.

Morin challenged much of classical astrological theory, including the astrology of Ptolemy, in an attempt to present a solid set of tools while rendering reasons for and against particular techniques, some of which may be considered crucial to many astrologers before and during Morin’s lifetime. At the same time, Morin vested himself heavily in promoting in mundo directions, a technique largely based on the work of Regiomontanus that became available thanks to then-recent advancement in mathematics. In his work, Morin provides examples of successful delineation of events that otherwise could not be delineated with the same relative degree of certainty.

Predictive Astrology Workshop with Bernadette Brady, 14 April 2012

Bernadette Brady - Speaking in Exeter on 14 April 2012

Bernadette Brady, one of the world's leading astrologers, will be speaking in Exeter in April 2012. Exeter Astrology Group invites you to attend this rare opportunity to hear Bernadette talk on Predictive Astrology.

A Message from Bernadette

Hullo Everyone,

Just a note to say bring your charts, a print out of your transits and secondary progressions. I want to work from your charts and use the day to show my way of combining transits and progressions into what I call a Time Map.

Additionally we will place this map into the context of your life story.

All of us live in a narrative from birth to death. Good predictive work in astrology is not attempting to predict an exact event but is rather about placing the individual within their narrative so that they understand not only the next 12 months but also the next 20 years of their life.

As astrologers we work with Kairos time, time which has a quality, rather then just chronos time - the modern view of time as simply a quantity. We will thus be spending the day learning to read the quality of future time.

I hope to meet many of the Exeter Astrology Group, and please bring along all your questions about predictive astrology. Lets make it a day to remember, we will work hard but also laugh.

Until April...
