Lodge Lecture

This was by far the most interesting slant on Astrology and the word we live in today. Hedley England has called his talk 'Degrees of Flight'. His focus was Airbus, the Anglo-French plane building company. Hedley has written a book of the same title. There were always two charts on the go. The chart of the first flight by the Wright Brothers at Kitty Hawk , North Carolina, USA, drawn for 10.35am on December 17th 1903 and one or other of the other planes. Hedley explained that the reason for this was that there was a chart for its first flight and a chart for its first commercial flight.

The book examines the MC argument in some detail, comparing Kitty Hawk to significant later first flights. This includes a chapter on the British Comet 1 airliner of the 1950's using voyage reports and correspondence from BOAC archives as well as official crash reports, and finds not only new connections but the discovery of the importance of the black Moon within aviation astrology (conjunct the Ascendant in the Kitty Hawk chart). The Black Moon shows that which is not acknowledged. Something will arise in a chart that will show that something will happen.

It demonstrated that Man had mastered the dimension of the skies through the use of powered and controlled aircraft. An astrological argument has arisen that a special degree - the MC degree or Midheaven of 5 degrees Sagittarius for the chart of that event somehow represents the paradigm of powered flight. Degrees of Flight also develops new methods of prediction, to predict not only when but where an aviation event is likely to happen - good or bad - through Solar returns and new Moons or lunations.

Class no. 3 in the series of 'the Heart of the Chart' with Frank Clifford had us playing detective and spotting the themes in the chart. Traits being the Asc sign, Moon sign and Sun sign. Themes - aspects to angles, conjunctions, squares and oppositions and types - 9th and 12 houses, the handle of the chart. He then went on to explain retrograde planets. The experience that come early on in life and how they often experience a second chance later on in life. They may be possible late starters. He went on to put up sample charts. Final class next week
