A World of Astrological Events on and around the Aries Equinox
(That's the Spring Equinox for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere!)
Events are beginning to come in and we look forward to hearing from other astrologers about more! Keep checking back to see what's going on in your area, or better yet, get something started. If you want to see what's possible, last year's activities set a broad variety of precedents!
The day of the Spring Equinox has been designated by the Association For Astrological Networking as International Astrology Day. Other astrology organiztions have joined in the celebration and this year we are building a list of 21 events. If you have an event you'd like to add to the list, please send it in to the IAD List. It will be included here and publicized on the AFAN Announcement Yahoo Group.
Listings are alphabetical by country, then state/province, then city. Online events and resources are listed at the bottom of the page.

Lititz, Pennsylvania
Hello! Members of the Association for Astrological Networking will be holding another Gathering in celebration of International Astrology Day on Sunday, March 21, 2010, in Lititz, PA.
We're planning an "Open House" event, beginning at 12:00 PM with a meet-and-greet. The day will include a $5 book swap (proceeds to go to AFAN's Scholarship Fund), a costume contest, and an eat-your-way-through-the zodiac potluck meal.
Astrologer and AFAN member Frank Piechoski will give a talk on Essential Dignities, and Bill Trivett, a local astrologer and owner of New Visions Books and Gifts will present on Chiron. If you have an astrological or related topic you'd like to discuss, we'd love to hear about it. A screen and projector will be provided if you need it.
Our costume contest needs a first place prize, and so we are requesting a donation of an astrological or other divination reading, or perhaps some other service or item to be awarded to the clever person who comes best dressed as their Sun, Moon or Ascendant.
If you would like to present a topic, donate a prize, or contribute to the potluck, please email Lisa Benjamin at Lisa@astromythic.com or call 717-625-2518 or 717-824-0697.
We hope to see you on March 21 and talk astrology!
