Synastry: The dance of love; the work of love

An In-Person Seminar with Darby Costello
14 February 2026 • Mary Ward House, London

This Valentine’s Day, join Darby Costello for a full day dedicated to the complexities and possibilities of relationship astrology. Through chart comparison, lunar symbolism and the subtle movement of progressed planets, Darby will explore how we understand the emotional exchanges that shape our closest bonds.

The day will focus on:

• Synastry between charts, with particular emphasis on the natal and progressed Moon
• How lunar shifts reveal changing needs, vulnerabilities and patterns of connection
• Mars in the natal chart and in synastry, especially as we enter the Saturn–Neptune cycle in Aries
• Navigating desire, control and the instinctual responses that surface in relationship
• Understanding the Composite Chart and the story it tells about two people together

10.00am–5.00pm • In person at Mary Ward House, London
