This meeting will be an open forum to explore your astrological questions. Astrologers of all experience levels are welcome to ask questions, share insights, and learn from one another.
Are you puzzled by an aspect in your natal chart, or unsure how to work with a T-Square? Curious about lesser-known aspects such as sesquiquadrates and quintiles? Wondering what a Pluto transit may be activating in your life?
How do you interpret a Solar Return, and what does it reveal about your upcoming year? Is your monthly Lunar Return truly useful? What is a Relocated chart? How do you read a Composite chart, and what insights can it provide about relationships? What’s the difference between secondary progressions and Solar Arcs?
Join us for a collaborative, curious, and engaging discussion designed to deepen your understanding of astrology and expand your perspective.
Please note this is a hybrid meeting: Some participants will be speaking via Zoom and will not be at the Encinitas Community Center. But you will be able to engage with them and ask questions.
After the meeting, we will be going to lunch. All participants are welcome to join us. The lunch place will be announced at the meeting.

Jupiter and our higher mind
Exploring the multifaceted nature of Jupiter opens a door, granting us an audience with him in his inner domain. Jupiter, as king of the gods, is unique in many ways. What does it mean to be king of the gods? What role does the mythology of Mount Olympus play in our lives? Who is Jupiter, really?
To understand the critical role that Jupiter plays in each one of our lives, we need to come to terms with many things. Why does creation exist, and what is Jupiter’s function in fulfilling this cosmic purpose? This is the foundation for understanding what Jupiter does for each of us.
As the higher mind, Jupiter provides the ability to make good judgments, to find shortcuts, to strengthen our moral fiber, to avoid actions that will disappoint us in the long run. Jupiter rules everything that has to do with the “long run”. Where does this ability come from? What role does he actually play in our lives, and how is he integrated into our personality in a way that makes him relevant? Come and find out.

The Moon ~ Friend or Foe
The Moon in our natal chart reveals how we instinctively feel, react, and seek safety in the world. It acts as an inner lens through which our emotional life is filtered, shaping our habits, memories, and automatic responses to stress and change. By exploring the Moon’s house placement and aspects, we gain insight into the emotional patterns that inform our defense and survival strategies.
When these lunar responses operate unconsciously, they can solidify into unhealthy or limiting habits—patterns that once served a protective purpose but may no longer support our growth. Through awareness and reflection, however, these same patterns can be recognized, softened, and transformed.
This workshop invites participants to deepen their relationship with their Moon, discerning when it acts as a trusted ally and when it may function as an inner adversary. Group discussion will be encouraged, offering space for shared insight, reflection, and the wisdom that emerges through collective experience.
