Sun 14 March: Bad Things – Understanding our Darker Selves With John Green. Why do good people do bad things? Why do so-called ‘normal’ people commit evil deeds? Today we’ll look at how our unconscious continues to manifest in our lives until we become fully aware of it. What is going on in our chart when we avoid, deny, repress, split off, project and rationalise those parts of ourselves we don’t like? How does the Shadow manifest in our chart on both a personal and collective level and what do we do about it? Is evil truly out there or is it really in here? A seminar at the Centre for Psychological Astrology, BCM Box 1815, London, WC1 3XX 0208 749 2330 www.cpalondon.com

Sat 20 March: Interpretation Day: Getting to the Heart of the Chart with Frank Clifford. No chart is difficult to interpret if we develop a method of breaking it down into manageable pieces, spotting the overtones and themes, then working to synthesize these key factors. This workshop will help students of all levels learn to zoom into a chart, make lightning-fast connections and identify its major dynamics. Topics include: the Mercury Approach; the Three T's: Traits, Themes and Types; the four types of horoscope; looking for links and common denominators and Humour in the horoscope. The workshop will finish with a discussion of humour in the horoscope and how it can be identified. Frank is a practising Astrologer and Palmist and teaches at the London School of Astrology. He is an author of several astrological books including "British Entertainers: the Astrological Profiles", "The Astrologer's Book of Charts", and "Palmistry 4 Today".

Sun 28 March: Mars: The Barbarian And The Aristocrat With Darby Costello. In our deep memories - coming down through the male side of our ancestry - Mars tells us about the weapons our ancestors used to keep our line alive. Without those weapons we would not be here today. With Saturn in Venus-ruled Libra, Mars must become canny and wise to keep itself in good shape, especially as Uranus is going into Aries. In this seminar we shall look at our Mars inheritance and inclinations, in order to develop awareness of when it is acting the thug and when it is acting with shining skill on behalf of ourselves and those we cherish and protect.
