Welcome to the June edition of the AANSW newsletter Orbits. With the colder days of winter approaching, the June meeting is often one of the quietest meetings of the year, so when the AANSW Committee was planning the year ahead, we thought the June meeting would be an ideal opportunity to host an online workshop and we could all stay warm and cosy at home!

Welcome to the May edition of the AANSW newsletter Orbits.  On Easter Saturday, which in 2023 fell on the same day as our regular monthly meeting, we met online in the evening rather than in the afternoon at Drummoyne Community Centre.

The April workshop was hosted by Faye Blake, astrologer, therapist and founder of Amsterdam School of Astrology.
