Medical Astrology Workshop: Bring Your Chart!
Judith Hill, with commentary by Matthew Wood, MSc.
We will examine the position of Saturn and Mars in the natal chart and also their transits over natal planets in the same natal chart. We may also discuss the Nodes. Herbal strategies will be discussed. Because Mars and Saturn are energetically opposite, these planets provide the best possible method of understanding ancient medical energetic models current from the Greek through the Renaissance eras. For historic example, we will take as many charts from the audience as time permits. A basic level of astrological knowledge helpful (know your signs and be comfortable viewing a birth chart). This is a rare event with limited seating.
Time: 11am to 5pm
