As we move into a new era shaped by the elements of Air and Fire—fast-paced, digital, and increasingly disconnected from physical experience—the element of Earth takes on a fundamental role and becomes impossible to ignore.

The conjunction of Saturn and Chiron in Taurus marks one of the most significant cycles of the 2020s, symbolizing a profound transformation in the way we inhabit our bodies, meet our needs, experience intimacy, and relate to the material world.

This configuration is also part of one of the decade’s most significant fixed T-squares, involving Pluto, Haumea, and Ceres, serving as a powerful indicator of the changes that are shaping the future of humanity.

This lecture will explore fundamental questions concerning the future of medicine, healing practices, human reproduction, the ethics of creation, and the challenges posed by technological evolution. It will offer a reflection on what it means to be human in a rapidly changing world, exploring what it means to have a body, to feel, to desire, to nourish ourselves, and to remain fully alive in an increasingly digital age.

The Horoscope as Mandala
Carl Jung saw the mandala as a reflection of the true and undivided self. He identified the horoscope as a form of mandala, containing the key elements of the circle and the cross or quaternity, linking it to the symbolism of both alchemy and individuation. This talk looks at drawing the birth chart by hand as a creative, imaginative and meditative engagement. We will explore the ancient symbolism of the circle and the alchemical concept of ‘squaring the circle’ via the four angles that connect earth to sky. Into this circular ritual space, we will invite the planetary deities, each with its myths, stories, rhythms, cycles and correspondences. Engaging with our own birth chart as a mandala, and as alchemical vessel or sacred space, allows us to reconnect deeply with the living essence of who we are.
