LETTING GO, LOSS AND GRIEF IN THE HOROSCOPE
In our own lives many of us will go through cycles where we will experience the grief process in some form or another, where we are forced to let go something or someone, which or whom has been significant to us. As professional astrologers, we can frequently encounter clients who are dealing with loss whether it comes from death or other types of loss and separation. Grief is the emotional response to a loss of any kind. It is a process of adjustment to a new situation in our lives! How do we make grief our friend in the turmoil of life? This lecture will reflect on the mythology, psychological factors, astrological triggers and planetary indicators in the horoscope that underlie the ‘letting go’ process in our lives which is inevitable for all of us!

CONFERENCES - Nationally, membership and support for Astrology grew to enable hosting of the FAA International Astrology Conferences, held every two years in a different capital city in Australia. The QFA hosted the highly successful IACs in Brisbane in 1998 "Living Astrology" and again in 2010 "Surfing New Waves of Consciousness - Fearless and Free". International Astrologers join the best of Australian Astrologers to deliver a wide variety of lectures and workshops. A favourite IAC highlight is the Southern Cross Banquet, a night of fine food and drink, presentation of national awards, celebration and dancing.

The 2014 FAA International conference will be held in HOBART at Wrest Point.
