With three planets in Capricorn and a Virgo Saturn on the Midheaven, still being able to work at my age is a blessing beyond all measure – and something that I plan to continue doing as long as my mind and my body are in agreement. In this edition of Master’s Musings, I want to give you a rundown of all the public astrological show-and-tell that I’ll be doing this year outside of the strictly in-house teaching within the school’s curriculum. 

Three of the events I’ll be tooting here are “live, in person.” As always, it’s a joy to see any of you in the flesh rather than just on a Zoom screen, so I hope you can attend at least one of them. Two are here in the United States and one is in Europe. 

WEBINAR ON MARCH 23: HOW TO BE THE HERO IN YOUR OWN STORY

This will be part of a weekend event sponsored by Astrology University called “The New Air and Fire Era.” In it, I’ll be offering a webinar about Neptune’s entry into Aries. Here’s my description of the talk:

Warrior talk: imagine the sheer emptiness of having nothing in your life that was worth dying for. So many of our greatest heroes – Jesus, Joan d’Arc, Martin Luther King – have walked that talk. But then how many human beings have been bamboozled into giving away their lives for almost nothing – a political theory, a worthless king, or even a banking system. Neptune in Aries is a volatile, passionate energy – powerful, but not easily kept on a healthy track.

Here are the keys to getting it right: what was the sacred gift you were given while Neptune was in Pisces? What are you going to do about it now?

If you’re interested in attending, here’s the link for signing up or learning more about the whole event: https://www.astrologyuniversity.com/summit. 

My Neptune talk will also be available separately on my forrestastrology.com website shortly after the summit.

INTERVIEW ON APRIL 10

I was approached by Sam Liebowitz who emcees the popular podcast, The Conscious Consultant Hour, about doing a show. He and I had a lively Zoom chat about the possibility. I liked him and I decided to go for it. Here’s the link to his show where I suspect that sooner or later you’ll find the details about my time with him: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-the-conscious-consu-29372591/

INTERVIEW ON APRIL 18

Bestselling author, former champion hotelier, and emerging Elder, Chip Conley, has been a pal of mine since the days of tape cassettes. He now runs the Modern Elder Academy with campuses in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and Baja California, Mexico. On April 18, I’ll be enjoying a Zoom Fireside Chat with him as we talk about the changing culture and psychology around an event that lies ahead for just about every one of us: getting older.  Interested in experiencing my talk with Chip? Information about tuning into our chat will soon be available at https://www.meawisdom.com. 

LIVE 4-DAY CLASS IN GREECE, starting on Friday, April 25

I’m really excited about this event! This one is actually sponsored by the FCEA and run by our very own Lisa Jones, along with our hardworking Dean, Catie Cadge. We’re giving priority to our students, but others will be allowed to attend, provided that we have the space. It will be a very practical four day master class in Athens, followed by a six-day bus adventure.  Limited space is still available for this class and the unique sacred journey following. Please join us! Hit this link for the details: https://forrestastrology.center/Greece2025/

LIVE 5-DAY CLASS IN SANTA FE, NM, AT THE MODERN ELDER ACADEMY, June 16-21

A few lines ago I mentioned my Fireside Chat with Chip Conley. That will be a Zoom event. In June, I’ll physically be returning to his elegant Modern Elder Academy to teach. The campus is set on four square miles of magical land south of Santa Fe. Last year we had a wonderfully warm and friendly group of about twenty-five people. Some were experienced with astrology and some were not, but they all “got it” quickly. This year, I plan to talk about the current sign changes of Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto, and how each of us can best work with these fresh new energies at a personal level. For details, here’s the link: https://www.meawisdom.com/enroll/

WEBINAR ABOUT URANUS ENTERING GEMINI, Saturday, July 12.

I’ll be offering this talk with the help of the inimitable Tony Howard who has run my business for a couple of decades. When Uranus enters a new sign, the shocks, surprises, and breakthroughs start coming from new directions. Want to be prepared? Join us! Sign up (or watch the program later on) at forrestastrology.com.

LIVE 5-DAY SYNASTRY CLASS AT THE OMEGA INSTITUTE, Rhinebeck, NY, August 18-22.

This will be my third year in a row returning to Omega, a truly sacred space that always leaves me feeling a lot more hope for humanity. In the last two events, we had huge crowds of over a hundred both times, with a large minority of them FCEA students. It was a delight to finally meet so many of you in person. This year, our topic is synastry. We’ll cover the whole spectrum of techniques, and we’ll be using the charts of volunteer class members as examples. Here’s the link: https://www.eomega.org/workshops/astrology-intimacy 

ZOOM PRESENTATION FOR THE U.K. ASTROLOGICAL ASSOCIATION’S ANNUAL CONFERENCE, on the weekend of August 29-31.

England is too far away for me to travel just to offer a short talk. This year, they’ve offered me a chance to attend their conference via Zoom. My presentation is entitled, “Sharpening Our Vision” and here’s the description: “There is a chart behind your chart. Whether the information hidden there reflects prior lifetimes or something else, it makes itself felt in the present tense – sometimes in such a fashion that by not knowing it, our work founders. Want proof? Join Steven for this brief introduction to evolutionary astrology.”  I’ve not found any details on their website yet and that includes the exact time of my talk, but I’m sure everything will be up there before long. Here’s the link: https://www.astrologicalassociation.com/

Other than my FCEA classes and my private work, that’s everything I have booked for the rest of this year, at least as of this moment. I’m sure various other podcasts will appear. They tend to be set up fairly spontaneously so it’s hard to give much notice, but afterwards I almost always post links to Facebook and elsewhere. 

For later in 2025, China is the wild card. My trip there this past October was a huge success. I have lots of fun and good, warmhearted friends there, but I’m getting a bit old for twenty-four hour airline journeys. Bottom line: I’m not yet sure about China.

In any case, I hope that some of you feel drawn to attend some of the events I just listed, especially the live ones where we can make a human connection. Those are so precious, especially now with the world in such turmoil.
