From The Uranian Society - Sad News

To all Members and Friends of The Uranian Society,
we are very sorry to announce that Nona Press, our former president, has passed away on September 10, 2021.

Nona was not only one of the founders of The Uranian Society but also of NCGR. Her contributions were important to our longevity as a group and to specific studies in astrology. Nona was also the president of the Declination SIG (Special Interest Group). Her special project was always Personal Name Asteroids, and her book “New Insights into Astrology” on Number Symbolism, Aspects, Asteroids and Research was published in 1993. Our community has lost a founder and a friend.

Mundane Annual Chart 2020

On 18 January 2020, in my lecture at the study centre Hamburg School, I pointed out the striking position of Kronos = Hades = Nodes.

With the spreading of the corona epidemic, this position has again gained special attention, because Hades stands for "disease" and Nodes for "contacts". Together with Kronos in the 10th Earth House, this results in the phrase "the above average (KR) contact (NO) disease (HA)," which is significant for the "world/public" (10th).

At the moment, this explanaition fits well. Nevertheless, caution is required, because one cannot clearly assign this planetary picture to a specific disease and naturally it has other meanings, too. So one should not concentrate too much on the corona epidemic alone to capture this position.
Michael.

A sad announcement

With deep personal concern, we must inform you that Bernd Singer, long-time author and member of the editorial staff of the German Uranian Journal (Hamburger Hefte), passed away on 20 August 2019 shortly after the current Journal went to press. Bernd Singer has been known to our readers for 30 years. Since 1989, Bernd has demonstrated his skills in more than 100 articles in the our Hamburg Journal. Bernd was co-founder and board member of the Astrological Study Centre Hamburg School (Astrologisches Studienzentrum Hamburger Schule; 2015), which is committed to the tradition of the Astrologers Association Hamburg School (Astrologenverein Hamburger Schule; 1925). Members and guests of the Study Centre have always enjoyed his lectures with great attention. Bernd Singer's way of performing astrological lectures was based on clear evidences paired with a pleasant humour and very friendly charisma.

Bernd Singer began his studies in 1981 with the so-called "classical or traditional astrology" and the Munich Rhythm Theory (Münchner Rhythmenlehre). In 1987 he continued his studies with the Uranian method. In 1994 Bernd became editor of the Hamburger Hefte Journal for the section “working tasks” (Arbeitsaufgaben). In 1997 his astrology book "Romy Schneider” (the astrological biography of an actor) attracted a lot of attention. This textbook gives an overview of the theory, technique and analysis of symmetrical astrology. One of Bernd's goals was to highlight the similarities between "traditional astrology" and the Uranian Astrology. For this reason he didn’t use Uranian planets in his book. Bernd Singer oriented himself strongly to the writings of Alfred Witte and in particular to Ludwig Rudolph, whose textbook "Leitfaden der Astrologie" Bernd Singer regarded as the most successful textbook of the Uranian technique and therefore became a model for his own book. At the 4th conference of the International Uranian Fellowship, Hamburg 2009, Bernd Singer also became known abroad with his lecture "Personal Daily Horoscope (pDH)".
