All Things Astrology with Demetra George | Leaders in Astrology

So that really is part of the chronology here.

because I cast my first chart in September of 1971.

By April of 1973, so that's not quite two years later, I heard of an astrology conference happening in San Francisco, where both Dane Rudyard and Michelle Gauquelin were speaking at.

And, of course, I really wanted to go, and we did go.

Wow.

And I remember standing in the lobby waiting for the doors to be opened and not knowing anyone when there was a friendly looking person standing was to the left of me.

And I sort of inched my way to some approximate distance from her so it wouldn't look as if I was standing there all by myself.

And that turned out to be Eleanor Bach.

who was the person who got the first asteroid ephemeris published after years of trying to convince astronomers to create the ephemerides.

She had brand new copies in her purse.

And when she asked me my name, which was Dimitra, my grandmother's name, it was the correlate of Ceres, the asteroid that prompted her inquiry.

She looked it up in her ephemeris.

and saw that Ceres was opposite my son and then gave me her book.

And it turns out that was the astrologer who had been cooking meals and teaching my friends in college.

So I thought that was so interesting of how the lines of our fate tend to appear to us years before that fate becomes obvious.

So we recognize it, but that web is already extended from the surroundings.

So then

I picked up the book.

I was quite naive.

I lived on a hippie commune in southern Oregon.

I didn't know that the mainstream of astrologers thought the asteroids were floating gravel and totally irrelevant.

When I went back and started putting asteroids in the charts I was doing, I knew the stories of the Greek goddesses because I heard them from my grandmothers.

And so when I would see an asteroid prominent in the chart, I would tell the story.

So I don't really know what this means, but let me tell you the story of Ceres or of Pallas Athena.

And the people would just be shocked and saying, you've just told me like the major story of my life.
