About Me


Welcome to the Myspace Page of the Exeter Astrology Group. We've created it to increase awareness of the group and the Exeter Astrology Group website . This website is designed to create an on-line community for astrologers in Exeter, Devon and beyond. The site is offered as a resource for all those interested in astrology to use and enjoy. It is hoped that the website and the Myspace page will foster closer links and connections between astrologers throughout the county of Devon, the UK and overseas.
You can see the group's astrology chart by clicking on 'my pics' under the display picture on the left if you're a myspace member, or by checking the blog entries above if you're not : )
Exeter Astrology Group has been running meetings regularly since September 1996.
If you don't have a myspace profile, I encourage you to get one - you don't have to put any personal details or photos or anything on there if you don't want to, it's free and you have far greater access to this site. You can see our pics, receive our bulletins, comment on our page and blogs, etc. It's very easy!

OUR MEETINGS
The Exeter Astrology Group meets at the Friends' Meeting House in central Exeter. Meetings start at 2.30pm and run until 5.30pm. The cost per month is £2.50 per person to cover room hire, tea and coffee, etc. Meetings generally occur on the second Sunday afternoon in the month, although this can vary according to bank holidays.
Exeter Astrology Group is run by its members and anyone with an interest in astrology can join. The meetings start with an open discussion on the topic advertised. We take it in turns to start the subject off, sharing our knowledge and understanding of astrology.
After the main topic we make time for looking at any charts people may want to share. Presentations now with an overhead projector and transparencies. From 2007 we have included a 'Chart of the Month' session which allows each member to hone their interpretation skills.
The emphasis of the group is on social interaction. We seek to bring astrologers of all levels of experience together for friendship, mutual support and friendly and informative discussion.
The group adjourns to a nearby pub or café following the meeting for chat and astrotalk.
For details, dates and times of each meeting, please see our calendar below (just above the top friends list!) and the details on the left of the page.
Parking: Parking is available in the Friends' Meeting House car park.
Walking: The Meeting House is about ten minutes walk from the High Street. Come through the Cathedral Yard to Southernhay; turn right and walk down Southernhay to Magdalen Street; turn left down Magdalen Street; turn left just after Wyndards. The Meeting House is the stone building ahead of you.
