Astro Cafe – 19 November 2022

We welcome you to this first edition of Astro Cafe, an event hosted by a small group of traditional & modern astrologers based in The Netherlands, and taking place on 19 November from 14:00 to 16:00 at Cafe de Ruimte in Amsterdam. We invite you to join us for an afternoon of connecting with other astrology enthusiasts, geeking about astrology, and sharing stories to bring astrology alive and learn how the language of the stars applies to your life. In this first edition we’ll discuss the Mars in Gemini retrograde of 2022, one of the main astrology events of the year that colors the remainder of 2022 and sets the tone for the beginning of 2023. We’ll go over the meaning of Mars retrograde in general, this cycle in particular and how to assess when a retrograde cycle is relevant for you, and we’ll share some stories of past Mars retrograde experiences to illustrate how a Mars retrograde can manifest in someone’s life. If you have any stories you want to share about (past or current) Mars retrogrades, feel free to send them in beforehand. The cover charge to attend the meeting is €7,50.There’s a limited amount of space available so make sure to get your ticket as soon as possible. After payment you’ll receive a confirmation of your registration that will count as your entrance ticket. You’ll also receive a short questionnaire a few weeks beforehand so we can gauge what level of astrology fluency you’re at and for you to submit any Mars retrograde stories you want to share during our gathering.
