How Astrology can help us prepare for the drama of the next 10 years by studying similar cycles from the past, thus helping us to thrive in uncertain times with greater wisdom

A weekend workshop in astrology which will focus on Pluto’s current cycle to illustrate the beginnings of a radical time of revolution and awakening!

Seminar in English - Open to Everybody - Limited number of participants

Association DEVA is proud to present a fascinating and very topical weekend workshop led by Rosie Finn, astrologer, intuitive, and author, practicing in both Western and Vedic astrology in Olympia Washington, USA.

 David Bennett, co-founder of Association DEVA, has commented on Rosie’s new book: “Rosie’s ground-breaking work “Persephone’s Revolution: Pluto’s path to the end of empire” published at the end of 2024 was the fruit of long years of painstaking research on Pluto “Out-of-Bounds” throughout history. I consider it to be quite simply one of the most significant new astrology works to have appeared so far this century – appearing at a moment when Pluto’s final passage out of bounds (which has already begun, and which will last for 10 years) is likely to have massive repercussions for the future of mankind.”

 Exploring this current cycle, which is the last time Pluto will go Out-of-Bounds (OOB) for the next 3000 years, Rosie, a true expert in this field, will discuss its epoch-making significance and what it could mean for mankind and for the individual. In doing so, she will closely compare this cycle to the previous Pluto OOB cycles of the last 3000 or so years and draw some fascinating and compelling conclusions for the immediate future!

What does it mean when a planet is ‘out of bounds’?

 A celestial body is considered to be ‘out of bounds' when its orbital declination exceeds 23°27 either north or south of the celestial equator. In that position, the body lies outside the boundary limits of the ecliptic plane. Naturally, planets and other bodies that are susceptible to these eccentric movements do so in a predictable cyclical manner. Modern computers have made it possible to track these events with immense accuracy and extend over vast periods of time. This has resulted in the ability to compare the current period of Pluto being out-of-bounds to all the previous cycles. By the way, individuals who have out-of-Bounds planets in their charts at birth have a rather different outlook from others and Rosie will discuss this during the workshop.

 We are entering a time of tumultuous  and momentous change. Fortunately, however, within this time there also lies a unique opportunity for a global consciousness shift. After exploring thousands of years of Pluto’s cycles throughout history, Rosie has identified a compelling pattern within Pluto’s cycle that emerges to light our way both as individuals and as members of humanity. Join us as Rosie looks at the possibilities of the next ten years, for both the individual and the collective, while looking at the past with fresh eyes.

During that very weekend we will presence the Lunar Eclipse that opens the portal into Pluto out-of-bounds.

Become aware through knowledge of Pluto’s cycle and the myth of Persephone that reflects that cycle.

Travel through time to reflect on both the repeating and evolving cycles in history that point to an upcoming revolution, reformation, empire collapse, paradigm shift, and global consciousness shift.

Embodied practices bring the knowledge into form!  You will explore your unique response to what's alive and coherent for you as an experience of paying attention to your body's responses to the archetypal ideas we are exploring.  You know that "gut feeling" when your intuition says, "yes."  The subtle rules the dense.  If we think of the "subtle" as ideas that move into form and manifest as structure, we'll discover what's actually true for us by paying attention to how "awareness" and "bodily sensations" are different levels of information we can attend to with greater self-respect and dignity. 

Astrology of the Weekend

Lunar Eclipse: Sep 7 at 8:08pm France Time

Uranus stations retrograde conjunct Alcyone in the Pleiades: Sep 6 6:51am France

Saturn at World Axis: Aug 16 to Sep 15, moves back into Pisces Sep 1 10:07am France

Venus at POWER from Aug 29 to Sep 8

The weekend from Sep 5 to Sep 8 is a portal moment connecting Pluto moving out-of-bounds to the other major transits of the moment. Uranus, the planet of awakening and radical shifts, is bringing in the wisdom of the Pleiades that supports building true community and connection with nature as it stations retrograde conjunct Alcyone, the brightest star in the Pleiades. Saturn is moving through the World Aix point offering us a deep connection to the events happening in the world—allowing us to influence all human beings on the planet. Eclipses open portals. The more exact the eclipse, the bigger and more significant the portal is. This Lunar Eclipse during sunset on Sep 7 in France, is a Total Lunar—at 15 Pisces, 3 degrees from the Nodes at 18 Pisces. This middle of Pisces eclipse opens us to deeper compassion and empathy for others. With Saturn at the World Axis, all beings will be tuned into each other in empathy and compassion (with the exception of a few rare individuals who appear to lack empathy). This conduit of compassion spreads and moves us into action. The Solar Eclipse on the Equinox Sep 21/22 is at the World Axis point conjunct Neptune and Saturn, illuminating the beginning of a new world. Mass uprisings in solidarity with the oppressed and injured erupt in unlikely places.

 The two weeks between Sep 7 and Sep 21 are the weeks in between eclipses—always a time out of time. Add Pluto out-of-bounds, add Saturn and Neptune at the world axis point, add Uranus at the Pleiades and we have the recipe of a global consciousness shift moving human beings out of a state of paralysis and confusion into clarity of purpose and direction.

Rosie Finn, Jyotish Visharada (CVA), is a Vedic and Western astrologer, and the author of Persephone’s Revolution: Pluto’s Path to the End of Empire and Journey-work of the Stars: An Astrology Workbook, as well as the Plants & Planets newsletter.

As we go through the next ten years, a pulsing of contracting and expanding occurs as we give birth to a new world. During the workshop, you will gain insights into your personal participation in this time of awakening (for this you will need to know your Ascendant, aka Rising Sign, or failing that, your Moon sign). 

 Alongside the astrological work, Patricia Kay (MA, CCH, CSD, spiritual director, homeopath, author of Cell Level Meditation: The Healing Power in the Smallest Unit of Life) will guide us in an Embodied Meditation practice that helps awaken the subtle awareness of our own body's wisdom, so that we can be skilled in finding our "Inner Pluto" and our "Inner Persephone." Cultivating embodied awareness gives us a tool to guide us through the unknown realms and strange times we live in, perchance to give our gifts with greater wisdom.

Patricia Kay, MA, CCH, CSD is a homeopath, teacher, writer, spiritual director and retired midwife.  She studied Cell Level Meditation under Barry Grundland, MD, for 15 years. She studied with Rosie Finn to learn the language of astrology.  These universal archetypes can also be sensed in meditative states of awareness in the body.  By bringing awareness, breath and body together, we can align with Life’s Great Purpose for each of us.

She lives in Olympia, WA.  She has two websites: www. Patricia-Kay.com and www.CellLevelMeditation.com.

There will be plenty of time for discussion over the course of the workshop and for meeting other souls who are also attempting to interpret and discern what their own personal role may be in this global shift.
