About us

Who we are

The Victorian Astrologers Association connects astrologers across Victoria and Tasmania through a shared commitment to learning, practice and community.

Led by a volunteer committee, the VAA brings together students, professionals and lifelong learners to explore astrology in thoughtful, practical and personally meaningful ways.

Aligned with the Federation of Australian Astrologers (FAA), the Association supports ongoing study, ethical practice and connection through lectures, workshops, guest speakers, learning pathways and a growing library of recordings and resources.

Members can also access the FAA exam pathway toward the internationally recognised FAA Diploma of Astrology.

Meet the committee

Our committee brings together a range of astrological perspectives, practices and experience.

    PRESIDENT

    Kerry’s connection to astrology began through long conversations with psychiatrist Dr Einoder in the 1970s, whose work incorporated the theories of Carl Jung.

    Years later, further study with Debra Silverman Astrology in the United States deepened a lifelong interest in the field. Astrology has continued to influence Kerry’s life choices and remains a guide for meaning, insight and understanding.

A harmonious trine to Mars in Leo brings warmth, creativity and heart to the Association’s shared values, while Jupiter in Sagittarius highlights a love of learning, teaching and the ongoing exploration of astrology.

With a Taurus Moon in the 11th House, community sits at the heart of the Association - learning, sharing and connecting over astrology (and often afternoon tea).
