As the material under consideration is highly topical the speakers have
kept their titles as open as possible and will decide on the exact material

Darby
Costello
Crossing the Threshold:
Navigating the Saturn-Neptune Opposition
The Saturn in Leo - Neptune in Aquarius opposition reflects
the consistent chord in our society today of anxiety, mistrust of authority,
and general cynicism about anyone's motives for doing good. This talk
will include discussion of the Saturn-Neptune cycle, to find information
as to how we might navigate the energy it represents. For those with planets
in roughly the last third of the fixed signs, this is a significantly
potent time. As we ride towards the future in this wild water time, this
particularly uncomfortable opposition demands a reshaping of our personal
and individual lives so to better inhabit the emerging new communities
that are shaping the world.
