1:30pm – Astrology for R(Evolution)
Does astrology seal our fate or open us up to the possibilities we contain? The further we understand Astrology, the easier we can relinquish the idea that the stars bind our fate and understand how a deeper investigation of the Zodiac can bring us closer to the healing and evolution necessary to create the world we want to inhabit. In this workshop, we will do the
briefest of introductions to astrology so we can jump into all the Revolutionary occurrences in our current sky and the Evolutionary aspects of a natal chart.Through our explorations of the current sky and our own natal charts, we can better understand how each of us plays a unique and important role in creating the future we are collectively dreaming of! Through the exploration of Astrology, we are not looking to doom ourselves to a fate but rather to see radical ways of transforming ourselves because of and in spite of the collective experiences we’re all subjected to. After the workshop, we will open up to Q&A and any other pertinent discussion. This workshop is facilitate by Katherine from Huge Witch. Your attendance will also come with a free zine and a sliding-scale birth chart reading with Huge Witch to redeem at a future date.
