Presentation: When Joy Feels Dangerous: The Healing with Holding Back the Light
Speaker: Marc Laurenson
Join us at the September 2025 meeting with Marc Laurenson, who will explore the fascinating topic of “When Joy Feels Dangerous: The Healing with Holding Back the Light.”
Cherophobia is an actual condition which is the fear of joy or being in 'happy' situations. In the birth chart, the fear of joy often hides in plain sight. Nestled in hard aspects to the Sun, Venus, or Jupiter, entangled with Chiron wounds, Saturnian guilt, or Lunar Nodal memories.
This talk explores the subtle astrology of self-protection: the placements that guard the heart, downplay success, or delay happiness “until it’s safe’. Marc will look at charts of people who are scared to be happy and to allow themselves the enjoyment that life has to offer. We will look at planets, points and aspects involved and how we can help them move forward toward accessing fulfilling lives.
This month AANSW will also hold a fabulous book fair and the AGM.
