Welcome to the Astrology Arizona (AAZ) newsletter! Here’s what’s up with our organization and the Astrological forecast for March.
What’s Coming in Our March Presentation
This presentation is not to be missed! Our March 29 talk features the great astrologer Ray Couture speaking on The Transpersonal Level of Astrology. He’ll discuss a heliocentric view, planetary fields, DNA, and the concept of Annata, the concept of “No Self.” This technique involves a new way of seeing the spirituality of individual lives within an astrological framework.
Future Programs Down the Road
Stay tuned, since we have more good presentations on the way in 2025!
Our April 19 presentation features the return of Ray Grasse, who will lead us on a discussion of his new book In The Company of Gods. As you know from his previous visits, Ray is always profound, entertaining, and opens up thought provoking discussions in the zones where astrology and spirituality overlap.
I have no doubt it’s going to be another excellent discussion, and we hope you will join us for this event, since “what one astrologer misses another catches.”
As usual, the admission for the January and February presentations is $10 for members, $15 for non-members. You can register at https://azastrologers.org/.
For the rest of our 2025 talks on May 24, June 28, July 26 and beyond, I’ll post them here as soon as we set them up. In the meantime, mark your calendars! We look forward to seeing you at our high-quality astrology talks offered by some of the best of the best in the field.
A Look at some of our Recent Presentations
Our September 28 presentation featured Lynn Koiner who gave us a fascinating look at Regressing Your Chart into Your Parents’ Past. This has been professionally edited and is available for purchase.
Our October 26 presentation featured yours truly, Professor Robert, discussing Transmuting Squares and Oppositions to Personal Power and Awareness. Based in concepts I wrote about in Horoscope Magazine we covered how to work constructively with our natal and progressed afflictions and how to transmute frictional transits to good effect. Learning this we can become Masters of our Destiny and bring order out of chaos as we flow through life. This has been professionally edited and is available for purchase.
Our November 23 presentation featured Andrea Gehrz speaking about Teleology: Hellenistic Astrology’s Missing Philosophy. She took us through many traditional tools of the craft and what the ancients thought about how planets and signs worked, and we had a great discussion about determinism versus infinite potential. A very good event!
Our December 14 presentation was a free roundtable, where we examined the Solstice chart and some other interesting astrological subjects like the Mercury retrograde themes for the past several years and the next two.
Our January 18 event was our yearly Predictions for 2025 talk featuring predictions from astrologers and other forecasters all over the world. I assembled input from several dozen sources, and a great time was had by all.
Our February 22 event had Craig Hayenga giving a class on The Centaurs: Chiron is Not Alone. It was a fascinating discussion of the astronomical, mythological, and astrological dimensions of Centaurs in general, as well as the relationship of Chariklo and Chiron.

"What one Astrologer misses another catches”
THE CENTAURS: CHIRON IS NOT ALONE
Our February 22 event featured our own Craig Hayenga giving a class on The Centaurs: Chiron is Not Alone. This discussion featured an exploration of the astronomical, the mythical, and the astrological dimensions of Centaurs in general, as well as the relationship of Chariklo and Chiron.
For his bio, Craig says he is happily retired. He received a PhD in AstroGeoPhysics in 1979 and became a Physics professor. After receiving tenure, he left academia and moved on to work in industry as an engineer and manager. He worked for a number of startups and eventually spent the last 20 years of his career in the defense industry.
When he discovered Carl Jung he began to focus on the concept of Synchronicity which Jung developed with physicist Wolfgang Pauli. In 2008, he attended the Santa Fe Institute for Complex Studies to support his interest in Complexity. He became actively involved in Astrology in the last decade through Steven Forrest's Evolutionary Astrology Apprenticeship Program. His whole life has been between the two Worlds of Science and Spirituality.
I have no doubt it’s going to be another excellent discussion, and we hope you will join us for this event, since “what one astrologer misses another catches.”

The Spiritual Field
We continue to be blessed by the closest Neptune sextile with Pluto in 30 years, with Uranus joining the “three note chord” by the Summer of 2024. With Uranus in Taurus, Neptune in Pisces, and Pluto in late Capricorn, we have a very strong “double sextile/trine” which should favorably impact all planets we have in the last 5 degrees of Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn, and Pisces. The Spiritual Field represented by these outermost planets is stabilizing our late Earth and Water sectors in the spiritual sectors of their signs.
This is preparing us for an entirely new experience of Spirit and Life in 2025 when these Spiritual powerhouses shift out of Earth and Water into Fire and Air, joined by Saturn when it enters Aries creating a “three note chord” of harmonic consciousness. That means 2024 and 2025 will spiritually harmonize planets we have in the late degrees of the Earth and Water signs, while in 2025-2026 they will do the same for planets we have in the early degrees of the Fire and Air signs.
Uranus will occupy the third decan of Taurus for the rest of this year through early July 2025. This is a Capricorn sub-influence with an added dose of Saturn, so there’s more structure and discipline and less micromanagement of details. The Cosmic Awakener promises us a new life and a “genuine rejuvenation” and life renewal as a result of what we go through in August and September.
We’re moving through an individual and spiritual awakening which will have us all feeling renewed by October. We just began a new 2 year cycle where we have 27 Taurus in our charts due to the newest Mars conjunct Uranus which happened in July. This new awakening should help us adapt to circumstances and offer our wisdom to our world in subdued ways.
Neptune at “the end of the end” of Pisces is giving us all a sense of vast feelings and finality. We’ve been through a purification process since December, have glimpsed forms of abundance, and now move into a oceanic feeling of dreaming the future we want to see become manifest. This year we experience the vast unifying field as we prepare to move into a more fiery collective energy in 2025.
With Pluto in late Capricorn for the last time in centuries, about to re-enter Aquarius, we are living on the cusp of historical change. As it went stationary retrograde at 3 Aquarius, we’ve begun a wild ride into a time of defiance, rebellion, with many refusing to follow what they believe to be authoritarian control systems. Be open to “regrasping past experience” and see it from a different angle of understanding due to a “sharp self-examination.” Be fearless in making the decisions you need to make.
We also have several long wave Aries cycles in play. Jupiter launched a major healing and mentoring cycle when it conjuncted Chiron at 15 Aries on March 11, 2023. That began a long wave Chiron cycle which will last until the Summer of 2036. And we just finished a 2 year Mars/Chiron cycle and began a new one at 23 Aries.
Not all Chiron cycles are the same length. When Chiron transits between Aquarius and Gemini, it moves relatively slowly and has conjunctions with Jupiter about every 13 years. However, it can take 19-20 years for the next conjunction after Gemini or Cancer. That means once the conjunction at 16 Gemini happens in the Summer of 2036 we won’t have another conjunction of Jupiter and Chiron until the Spring of 2056 in Aquarius, which will launch another long term “expansive healing/mentoring” cycle.
We’re Actors On A New Stage With A New Set – The Bigger Picture
We’re still in the initial years of a new era in human evolution. The Grand Mutation of Jupiter conjunct Saturn at 1 Aquarius began a new 20 year Aquarian Era in December 2020, as well as a new 200 year era, moving global energies out of Earth and into Air. We’ve begun to grow beyond the materialism of the past 200 years and have entered two centuries of Air emphasis, with its qualities of relatedness, receptivity, versatility, movability, lightness, and cooperative ideas, visions, and ideals.
We’re still "under the beams" of the Solar Eclipses we experienced in 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023 and these “cosmic recyclers” continue to remove what we no longer need in our lives. Take note of where you have 1 Cancer, 24 and 13 Sagittarius, 20 Gemini, 11 Taurus, and 2 Scorpio, since we’ve all had to let go of many things related to these sectors the past few years.
The May 2022 eclipses with Sun in Taurus have shut down old value systems in that sector, and the Scorpio Solar eclipses are already leading us to say goodbye to the past, giving up some old ideals. You can find out more about Solar and Lunar eclipses by going to my site at www.aquariuspapers.com where there are numerous articles in the archives on how eclipses work.
The April-May 2023 eclipses have begun to work their magic on our Aries and Libra sectors for a long time to come. The 2023 Solar eclipse at 30 Aries and the October Solar eclipse at 22 Libra are also shutting down parts of our lives where we have those signs. We now have the Solar eclipse at 20 Aries added to the list, as well as the late March Lunar eclipse which is shutting down parts of our lives where we have early Taurus and early Scorpio.
As we study how successive Eclipses have affected various areas of our charts and lives, we can get a sense of the utility of these “Cosmic Recyclers” in removing what we no longer needed in those areas, creating a void which attracted new life experiences. They invite us to look back, and then forward, to see the continuity of “letting go, taking in, letting go, taking in” across the years.
We now navigate the cosmic time-space between endings and beginnings so bless and forgive much to flow down the time stream. The past is over and we all have begun our trek into a new world of new potential, new adventures, and new ways to enjoy being ourselves while doing our work of Destiny. Open to the abundance of the process of growth, since we are all on a rocket ship to the stars!
