JUNE 11 2025 GEMINI BRETT: An Evening of Sacred Astronomy
IN-PERSON EVENT!
Join our chapter President, Gemini Brett, for an evening of sacred astronomy at the Berkeley Marina stone circle. (If weather is not cooperating and visibility is low, check back for details on the alternative plan).
We’ll gather at 8pm shortly before sunset so Brett can teach you how the meridian pole and solstice stones work as solar calendars while it’s still light outside.
A seriously out-of-bounds Capricorn Moon will then rise to help Brett teach about the 18.6 year Lunar Standstill cycle.
We’ll then spend some time with Leo Mars and with ecliptic stars like Regulus, Spica, Zubenelgenubi, and Antares who will help Brett demonstrate how to find the midheaven and ascendant degrees with your naked eye.
It can be windy at the Marina so please dress in layers.
In case of rain, meet in the bar of the Double Tree Berkeley Marina Hotel nearby.

ABOUT OUR SPEAKER
Gemini Brett’s terrestrial translations of the celestial conversation, expressed through the ancient arts of sacred geometry, musical harmony, embodied astronomy, and number magic activate seasoned sages as much as they initiate students new to the cosmic curriculum. He is a world-renowned astrologer, shamanic starry*teller, and inspiring educator best known for his devotion to reconnecting astrologers with the sacred astronomy of the living sky. Brett’s passion, dedication, and innovation were recently honored by OPA who presented him with the Orion Award for Outstanding Contribution to Astrology. Brett also serves as president of NCGR SF and the School of Earthstrology.

OUR NEXT SPEAKER EVENT (Via Webinar)
JUNE 21 2025 DR. JENN ZAHRT: Your “Holographic” Chart and Transits
Learn how to navigate the space between fate and free will by gaining, in the words of the late astrologer Robert Blaschke, a “holographic” view of your chart.
We will begin with the concept of lunar phase, as articulated by Dane Rudhyar, and extend the phase concept to other planets in the chart. Once we identify our many “phases” active at birth, we can then see what celestial “cohorts” we belong to.
This technique also applies to transits, adding a powerful new technique to your astrological toolkit.
Once you see charts from this vantage point, it will put your life and your practice into a new dimensional context.
You’ll never see space/time the same way again!
