Jason Holley Lecture Tour (April 2020) “Astrology is a way of fi nding our place in the world, and the world’s place in us,” writes respected astrologer and therapist Jason Holley, who is visiting the LSA for the fi rst time next spring. Jason’s three sessions with us will focus on the imaginative, intuitive, archetypal and mythological facets of astrology, and we look forward to welcoming him to the LSA.

We’ll endeavour to record sessions, making these available to all who’ve signed up but cannot attend Wednesday 1 April 2020: Re-imagining Aspects through Myth Using myth and sacred geometry, Jason will show how to enrich your vocabulary of aspects beyond conceptual language such as ‘tension’ and ‘harmony’ and into more complex and graspable dynamic stories.

Thursday 2 April 2020: After the Winter of Loss: Ceres and the Journey of Embodiment Some say that the most intractable human patterns are the result of un-grieved loss. Grief tends to get stuck in the body – frozen. In her grief at her daughter’s abduction, Ceres cast the whole earth into winter. Jason will introduce the stories of this goddess, which explore the experiences of grief, embodiment, loss of innocence, healing and mystery. (7pm–9.20pm; £30; included in Year 3’s Term 2 fee.) Saturday 4 April 2020: i. Deep Mercury: A Guide Across Thresholds ii. Red Planet, Black Planet: Initiations of Mars Part 1: Mercury is a soul-quickener: when he arrives on the scene stuck places unstick, silenced parts start speaking, lost items return. Mercury loosens us up, slips past defences, opens roads to uncharted psychic territory and the deepest callings of Soul. Jason will explore the profound eff ects that Mercury subtly facilitates natally and through visitations by transit, progression and synastry. Part 2: Mars lies poised within us like the refl exes in our bodies: ever-ready for action and a natural base of operations for exploring the depth of our intrapsychic solar system. Jason will off er a rich, multidimensional view of Mars as an archetype of deep initiations, wherein impulse and desire lead to destruction or creation – or both. (10.30am–4.45pm; £50 for students; £60 non-students; incl. in Year 1’s Term 2 fee.)
