Presentation Description:

Please join us for a holiday celebration with our special guest, astronomer Richard Moeschl.

Astrologers spend lots of time looking at wheels, symbols and glyphs - we're often disconnected from the actual sky that is the source of our inspiration.

This evening Richard's topic is An Introduction to Astronomy for Astrologers. It will be a fine opportunity to see how the night sky translates into the astrological wheel. Richard will also discuss some of the recent space discoveries. Our knowledge of the cosmos is always expanding and astrology is continually being infused with new archetypes and myths. If you haven't heard Richard Moeschl, our local, highly-entertaining lover-of-the-stars, you're in for a treat!
