11 October
Temperament: Astrology?s Forgotten Key with Dorian Geisler Greenbaum
Dorian will explain the ancient concept of temperament and its long history in astrology. She will talk about the qualities hot, cold, wet and dry as components of the elements; planets, signs and humours, and the humours themselves: choleric, melancholic, sanguine and phlegmatic. Why is temperament something astrologers should use in chart interpretation?
What is your temperament, and how is it reflected in your birth chart?
Starts at 7:00 pm
