Asteroids

We are excited to announce the revival of the NCGR Asteroid SIRG (Special Interest Research Group), a visionary initiative first led by Demetra George in the 1980s. This group ignited a movement to highlight the importance of asteroids in astrology, showing how these celestial bodies can offer deeper insights into birth charts and enrich astrological practice. Now, we’re bringing that pioneering spirit back with renewed energy, inclusivity, and community collaboration.

This group will be led by astrologers Alicia Cielle Heiser and Lori Kaufman - both have studied asteroids with Demetra George and apply asteroids in their practice and framework. Alicia is a professional astrologer, herbalist, teacher and new mother living in Portland, Oregon. Lori is a professional astrologer, dancer, teacher, author, and circus performer located in Cincinnati, OH. Lori and Alicia also host a podcast called Conversations with the Planets that has several episodes about working with asteroids.

Our mission is to advance research, foster awareness, and further integrate asteroids into astrology. We meet every month via Zoom to share stories, research and more.

What to Expect:

Research on the role of asteroids in birth charts in practice

Grouping of asteroid families (mythical / types categories)

Asteroid Stories: Unlock the narratives behind asteroid placements

New Discoveries: Explore lesser-known asteroids and their patterns

Cultural Insights: Discuss the cultural implications of asteroids yet to be named after diverse heritages

See you soon!
