What of serpents and dragons, when it comes to astrology, and why all this talk of a 13th zodiac sign? Are there are any grounds to introduce a thirteenth member to the traditionally twelvefold Zodiac?

In this talk, I look into the whole issue around Ophiuchus, the serpent holder, and the overlooked significance of the dragon at the centre of the zodiac.

This talk was given in Dec 2020 for House of Hackney’s Witchmas Festival, ‘The Secrets of the Serpent’.

The Zodiac could be considered the medicine wheel of the western esoteric tradition. It is certainly an ancient emblem of the soul, hard-wired into our collective imagination, forever turning, like a celestial mirror which reflects the way our own lives turn, in rhythm with the sun, moon, planets and stars. Its’ twelve signs, and their governing planetary archetypes point us toward the sacred wounds of the soul. And as we are reconnected with the specific planetary patterns present at the moment of our birth, our soul begins to remember its own unique journey to healing and wholeness.

In this seminar, I will identify the specific wound signatures of each sign and planet, and how these contain within them essential healing keys that can transform our perspective, open up imagination and release our creative potential.

We will explore:
* The sacred wound signatures of each zodiac sign and planet
* The twelve astrological gateways to healing and wholeness
* How your birth chart is an expression of your own personal medicine wheel
