IMPORTANT: Please note that this meeting is on the fourth Sunday of the month and will be held at the Plainsboro Public Library.

Ken Negus and Valerie Vaughan, “Johann Kepler: Seventeenth-Century Founder of Modern Astrology.”

These speakers are the author and the editor/commentator, resp., of Kepler’s Astrology: the Baby, the Bath Water and the Third Man in the Middle, (which appeared early in 2008). The greater portion of this book consists of Ken’s translations of Tertius Interveniens (Third Party Intervening) and some other shorter astrological texts by Kepler. The remainder consists of voluminous commentary and notes by Valerie.

It can be argued that Kepler, a universal genius, played the major role in the further development of astrology after the seventeenth century. He is, however, known primarily as the astronomer who discovered the three primary laws of planetary motion. But in our scientific age – which denies any significant historical role played by Kepler’s or anyone else’s astrology – little attention is given to his several substantial treatises on the subject (outside astrological publications), their importance rejected, and even shamefully misinterpreted by scientific commentators.

The book by Negus and Vaughan presents mainly the text of Kepler's longest and most profound astrological treatise, along with Vaughan’s thorough analysis and commentary that offers more than sufficient evidence to disprove the frequent assertion that Kepler practiced astrology only to earn money, and therefore it could not be taken seriously. In her analyses, she points out such things as how he favorably compares astrology with the science of medicine; meaningfully explains aspects; uses astrological weather prediction; dealt with matters that cannot be predicted; and much more.

The meeting will take place at the usual time (2:30 PM), and at our new location at the Plainsboro Public Library.

At the fifth light, where you will notice a large POLICE sign, turn right onto Dey Road (County Route 614.) Turn immediately left into the Municipal Complex, opposite Queenship of Mary Catholic Church.

John Marchesella, "The Horoscope After Death." Our final passage might not be so final.  It sounds gloomy, but actually, it's lots of fun and it will make you think about the nature of symbols.  See how our horoscopes continue to operate even after the end of life....and why Western Astrology can not predict physical death.  You might learn something about transits and progressions for the living too.
