Episode 471 - Hellenistic Astrologer Saffron Dennis

12/21/2025
This week we are talking with Saffron Dennis a Hellinistic Astrologer. https://divinebaytree.com/ & https://substack.com/@divinebaytree Saffron is based in the East Anglia region of the UK. Astrology has been the main focus of study since she was a teenager in the late '80s, starting as many astrologers of the time did with the psychological style of Modern Astrology. In 2019 she began establishing new skills in Hellenistic Astrology through studies in Chris Brennans' course, which has now become integrated into her astrology practice. Those studies led her to a deeper, spiritual and devotional approach to Hellenistic Astrology through her tutor and mentor Adam Elenbaas at Nightlight Astrology. she is truly honoured to work with Adam and fellow staff at the school. Adam's classes are life-changing in many ways; spiritually, emotionally, and intellectually. She also had the pleasure of studying with Sue Ward, a truly talented traditional astrologer whose experience in William Lilly's work is unsurpassed. Sue's humour and generosity of spirit were a contagious duo, making her classes fun and informative. Along with her astrology studies, Saffron also spent many years delving into various topics. She recently completed a diploma with the Spiritual Companions Trust as a Spiritual Coach, Companion & Caregiver. Her love of working with the crystal world has spanned over two decades, completing her first FHT-recognised diploma in 2008. She is revisiting that work with Jackie Winters at the British Academy of Crystal Healing, taking the diploma again to refresh her knowledge. Saffron believes it is important to continue to learn and expand from the foundational level all the way up. In the past, but no longer practising, she holds qualifications as a holistic beauty therapist, and as a tarot reader as member of TABI, passing their qualification many years ago. She also hold an RHS level 3 qualification in Horticulture and a level 2 in Understanding Mental Health. She now volunteers co-facilitating a monthly on-line group for the organisation Action For Happiness which is a movement of people taking action to create a happier and kinder world, together. And lastly she is also (now) a trustee and on the board of The Astrological Association https://www.astrologicalassociation.com/board-members/

Episode 463 - Interview with Astrologer Lianne McCafferty

10/26/2025
This week we are chatting with Lianne McCafferty. You can find her at https://liannemccafferty.com/ Lianne holds the Mayo Diploma (with Distinction) in both Natal & Mundane Astrology as well as being a member of the APAI. She is a longstanding tutor for the Mayo School of Astrology and is on the board for both the Astrological Association and the Scottish AA. Her early professional life began with a scientific career in Research & Development at a international company whilst simultaneously competing at a high level in equestrianism. The latter inevitably became a full-time vocation as both a professional rider & coach (holding a generic UKCC sports qualification) which provided a wealth of invaluable experience & skills for teaching & mentoring as well as managing the challenges of professional sport (& life!) The opportunity to combine a scientific, analytical mind along with natural instinct, intuition & empathy has made transferring these abilities to astrology both as a writer & when working with clients a natural progression. Based in the UK (North East) she consult internationally with a busy & varied client base, but take a particular interest in how astrology can be utilised in sport to help enhance performance. Along with a busy family life she is an accomplished musician & currently enjoys a more recent sporting passion, martial arts. In 2022 she gained Shodan 1st Dan Black Belt in Shotokan Karate, then 2nd Dan in 2024. She has also started learning Japanese.
