ASTRO MUNDI - Joy Usher and Mari Garcia
Saturday and Sunday - 12 and 13 July, 2008 9:00am - 4:30pm
Metro Hotel, 61 Canning Highway, South Perth WA
 
Joy Usher and Mari Garcia of Astro Mundi in Adelaide did not dissappoint, presenting the following topics:
 
JOY:
SURVIVE OR THRIVE ?   Life's Primary Motivation   -   All levels: beginners upwards
"Every man should have a purpose in life.  A man without a purpose lives on, like a cabbage in a field, but knows no life."  Joseph Addison
What drives you forward in life ?  How do you determine where your purpose in life lies, and how can you accomplish it ?  This workshop explores these questions by delineating the chart through the focus of a technique known as 'primary motivation.'  The technique borrows from traditional principles, but is easily and effectively incorporated in modern astrological practice.
 
WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE   -   All levels: beginners upwards
In traditional astrology the three planets of Moon, Venus and Mars are a threesome collectively known as 'the nocturnals'.  They guide our desires, our appetites and our emotions, and yet they are often the planets with which we have the most uneasy relationship.  This workshop introduces the nocturnals, giving you a whole new perspective on their collective power.   The workshop gives examples on how we can examine the natal chart to determine the nature of 'the wild ones', and how we can tame them to our best advantage.
 
MARI:
ARCHETYPES AND ADDICTIONS    -   All levels: beginners upwards
The notion of addictions is not confined to substances but can also be applied to addictive behaviour patterns.  Individuals can be engulfed by obsessions, which can be detrimental.  Uncovering and understanding the underlying archetype in these behaviours can be a powerful tonic.  This lecture will expore Pluto's influence with the personal planets as a signature of obsession and addiction in the individual.  The lecture will also focus on the key issues underpinning these combinations and the possoble ways in which they can be realised, released and integrated.
 
CASTING DOWN AND RISING UP:  THE ORIGINS OF THE 2ND AND 8TH HOUSES    -   All levels: beginners upwards
The terms 'epicataphora' and anaphora' are not familiar to the modern astrolger.  They are names given to the 2nd and 8th houses and refer to their role as portals of the underworld.  This workshop looks at the meaning of both these houses and their significance in astrological practice.
 
MEMBERS AND EARLY BIRDS (received by 22 June 2008) $100 per day
NON MEMBERS AND ALL LATE BIRDS  $130 per day

2007
 
2007 Annual General Meeting and Christmas BBQ - 18 November 2007
Held at the beautiful home of Carol and David Jenkins,  53 Sandringham Promenade, CANNING VALE  WA.
 
 A short and efficient meeting was held with all matters attended to, including an increase in FAA membership fees, the first rise in seven years, and the new was committee elected for 2008. 
 
We were all sad to farewell Edith from the Presidential post with accolades for the way in which she has worked tirelessly, travelled enlessly, and totally committed her boundless energy for the past four years in the position.  However, all is not lost..... Edith is only a short step away in the post of Vice President and we are thrilled to welcome our brand new President Patricia Johns.  We look forward to a great 2008 with our new committee.
 
Everyone brought a plate and stayed after the AGM to enjoy a relaxed BBQ lunch of tender Baramba organic beef with fabulous salads and extremely sumptuous sweets to uphold the tradition of the past few years.  We caught up with colleagues and celebrated the festive season in style.
 
Sunday  9 September, 2007 - 9:30am - 4:30pm
METRO HOTEL, 61 CANNING HIGHWAY, SOUTH PERTH
Paul Westran, astrologer and author of "When Stars Collide"  www.positiveastrolgoy.com 
  
What an amazing, educational, and enjoyable day...... We were privileged to hear in great depth from Paul what drives the success and failure of relationships through his thoroughly well researched synergy methods using Progressed Sun, Venus and Mars close aspects.  His book, When Stars Collide, shows why people fall in and out of love.  It reveals for the first time the hidden patterns associated with Venus that occur in the majority of relationships.   Bringing relationship and astrology into context, it takes a giant leap forward in understanding not only how to find out who you will attract, but also when you will attract them. It shows what drives your relationship, what kind of relationship it is likely to be, and, above all, when the relationship will need to change if it is to survive.  
  
  
19 May, 2007-Book Signing: Borders Bookstore, 625-635 Hay Street Mall, Perth-12:30pm to 2:00pm
20 May, 2007-GARY GOLDSCHNEIDER-Secret Language of the Stars workshop-Seasons Hotel, 37 Pier Street, Perth
The FAAWA was very proud to bring to Perth, Gary Goldschneider, international astrologer, author of 8 astrology books, concert pianist, composer and personal counsellor.  Born in Philadelphia and now living in Amsterdam, Netherlands Gary was an absolute joy as a person and workshop presenter.
  
On Saturday 19 May, 2007 Gary and entourage attended Borders bookstore to sign his Secret Language of Birthdays book and delight the many people who were treated to a quick and very accurate on the spot delineation of their personality, strengths and weaknesses while he signed his books.  
  
On Sunday 20 May 2007 the full day seminar, held in the poolside Pavillion Room started at 10:00am and ran one hour overtime by popular demand, finishing at 5:00pm.  The day was filled with in-depth astrological detail and we were all constantly amazed at Gary's incredible depth of knowledge, and his ability to list full details of famous people, and the character of people born on every day of the year.  It was unanimously agreed that the cost of $130, which included the full day of astrology and and a sumptuous three course lunch in the lovely Citro Restaurant, was money very well spent.
  
Following a very successful day many of the attendees retired to the Piano Bar at the Seasons to be treated to a wonderful piano concert by Gary, followed by great conversation, wine and an Italian meal and at nearby Venezia Restaurant.  A fitting finale to a fabulous weekend.  We were all very sorry to see Gary leave us and hope to entice him back to Western Australia as soon as possible. 
   
  
  
         
  
        
  
With his “Personology” system, Gary Goldschneider has created a unique method which divides each of the twelve signs into five sub-types—such as Aquarius-Pisces Cusp, Pisces I, Pisces II, Pisces III, and Pisces-Aries Cusp—thereby sub-dividing the astrological year into 48 personology periods. The precision this allows is far beyond anything available in any other astrology book and provides a ground-breaking new way for readers to look not only at their own lives, but their interactions with those around them.  Other popular publications by Gary Goldschneider are the "Secret Language of..." series.
  
Saturday 20 January 2007 - National FAA Council AGM
Each alternate year in between the biennial FAA Conferences the FAA National Council Annual General Meeting is hosted by a State and WA proudly hosted the 2007 AGM.   Although members generally don't attend the AGM this was a chance for members to meet our National representatives and extend to them our great Western Australian hospitality at the Big Day Out social event held the next day. 
  
Sunday 21st January 2007 -  Big Day Out in the country
A busload of 46 national councillors and local members enjoyed a fun packed event in Gingin.  Meeting at the Burswood Casino carpark, we travelled in a 5 star (non pumpkin) coach into the Aussie bush to learn about gravity and its research at the Gravity Discovery Centre, enjoyed a sumptious homestyle country buffet dinner (including the amazing bread and butter pudding!!) at Willowbrook Farm, and ended the night with guided star and McNaught comet gazing through the largest telescope for public access in Australia, and flew through the milky way galaxy and beyond using the amazing specialised comuter software of the Southern Cross Cosmos Centre.   For further details click here to see the flyer.
