Juno: Finding Your Personal Power

Presented by Roderick Kidston

Saturday 15th October, 2-5pm

If it’s a talk by Roderick Kidston it must be asteroid time again!

Drum roll, fanfare, anthem …
Today we honour Her Majesty
Juno — Queen of Heaven

When astrologers first started investigating the asteroids, Juno was touted as a symbol of marriage and partnership and the issues that arise in close relationships. That’s a start, but really the great lady who presides on Mount Olympus as the queen of all the gods and goddesses is about something much more fundamental than who does what in the relating game.

Today we shall look at the deeper implications of what ‘goddess energy’ means, what shakti is, what it means to look at the feminine principle as involved with power: real power, deep power, the power that is fundamental to all spiritual endeavour and which underpins all power in the manifest universe, come to that.

Juno, more than any other astrological symbol, shows us where the true power is in the horoscope. If you want to know where your personal power is, what some of your deepest talents are – though possibly unclaimed and unexpressed, or only partially manifested – then you need to engage with Juno and make friends with this very mighty, very splendid goddess.

Roderick KidstonAbout Roderick Kidston

Roderick Kidston was an early fan of adding asteroids to the astrologer’s repertoire, and now finds it impossible to read a horoscope fully without the so-called ‘minor planets’. The study of harmonics has also been a passion, and he is interested in a more integral approach to astrology that links with developments in depth and transpersonal psychology, metaphysics and the new physics. This includes the new
insights offered by the spiral dynamics theory of the evolution of consciousness.

Roderick has published on astrology in several places over the years, taught it, given talks and workshops in several cities, and he has spoken at several conferences since 2003. He will speak again at the FAA Conference in Melbourne in 2012, this time on Ceres, and on the two other goddesses of the agricultural cycle, Flora and Pomona.

Next Meeting 19th November:
Annual AGM followed by a lecture by Brian Clark
