Super-exciting news! The library launch date is decided. Join us for a FREE webinar on Monday 1 December at 19:00 UK time (GMT) to help the official launch, and to learn all the details and meet the people working behind the scenes. The International Astrology Library Online now hosts an initial 423 out-of-print and difficult-to-find astrology books and volumes of astrological periodicals, published from the late sixteenth to the early twentieth centuries, all ready for you to read in the comfort of your own home. Additionally, we have obtained the necessary permissions to host exact scans of both first and second editions of the important late-twentieth-century book 'Mundane Astrology' by Michael Baigent, Nicholas Campion and Charles Harvey. Over the months and years to come, the number of books will continually expand through the support of subscribers, who will have twenty-four-hour access for 365 days a year. There are limited spaces in the webinar, so please contact the AA Office at [email protected] to reserve your space. We will be explaining:

• All about how the Library works
• How to log in
• How to view the books
• How, when and where to make payment – Astrological Association members can subscribe at half price
• Which books have been professionally scanned for you to enjoy

Also you will learn more about Philip Graves's plan to host bi-monthly webinars that share his and other people's historical scholarship on different astrological topics, inspired by the amazing range of volumes in the International Astrology Library. We look forward to sharing this time with you next month. Contact the AA Office at [email protected] to register your interest. You will receive an email link a day or so before launch day. Best wishes from the Astrological Association Library Subcommittee - Chris Mitchell, Philip Graves, Amanda Williams, Mary English and Roy Gillett

This week we are chatting with Lianne McCafferty. You can find her at https://liannemccafferty.com/

Lianne holds the Mayo Diploma (with Distinction) in both Natal & Mundane Astrology as well as being a member of the APAI. She is a longstanding tutor for the Mayo School of Astrology and is on the board for both the Astrological Association and the Scottish AA.

Her early professional life began with a scientific career in Research & Development at a international company whilst simultaneously competing at a high level in equestrianism. The latter inevitably became a full-time vocation as both a professional rider & coach (holding a generic UKCC sports qualification) which provided a wealth of invaluable experience & skills for teaching & mentoring as well as managing the challenges of professional sport (& life!)

The opportunity to combine a scientific, analytical mind along with natural instinct, intuition & empathy has made transferring these abilities to astrology both as a writer & when working with clients a natural progression.

Based in the UK (North East) she consult internationally with a busy & varied client base, but take a particular interest in how astrology can be utilised in sport to help enhance performance.

Along with a busy family life she is an accomplished musician & currently enjoys a more recent sporting passion, martial arts. In 2022 she gained Shodan 1st Dan Black Belt in Shotokan Karate, then 2nd Dan in 2024. She has also started learning Japanese.

There is always so much discussion about what is an astrologer v.s an astronomer.

ONLY an Astrologer will draw-up horoscopes. They certainly will use astronomy to do that but the thing called a horoscope can ONLY be interpreted by an Astrologer.

This week we are covering the chart of Sophia Brahe who learned astronomy AND Astrology and could draw-up horoscopes ...she also helped discover a new star.
