Deepening Our Interpretive Abilities
The power of Astrological Aspects and Planetary Rulership
Class dates: Tuesday, Oct 13, 3-5pm PDT, (No class Oct 20), Oct 27th, Nov 3rd, Nov 10th
An Astrology class for the intermediate astrology student
This 4-week session will deepen your understanding of astrological aspects, promoting ease in reading the aspects. Understanding the aspects makes the chart come alive with the dynamics between the archetypal energies and how they play out in our day to day. Knowing the aspects are a core piece in giving yourself, and to those you offer readings, an opportunity to more consciously engage with life choices. We will also focus on the planetary rulership of the Ascendant, (and houses), with emphasis on how they tie the meaning of the chart together.
The aspects and the planetary rulership are important tools for interpreting the charts. They offer us a more thorough clarification of the energetics of the chart and how the person engages with those energetics. With this insight, we can develop our role as astrologer, becoming one who offers healing and greater integration, self-knowledge and consciousness, whether it is for reflection on our own chart, or interpretation of a chart for another.

Beginning Astrology
Class dates: Wednesday, 2nd session; Oct 14 – November 11, (No class, October 21st)
8 classes complete the class.
Learning the language of Astrology, particularly Archetypal Astrology, gives us a view of each human life as being called to purpose and to know oneself. You will learn the basic format of the astrology chart, the power of the 4 elements in our lives, and the meaning of the signs and planets. You will connect to the wisdom of cycles as known through the 12 signs. You will learn the depth and breadth of the planetary archetypes, ie Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus etc. and how they express themselves in our lives.
We are called to meaning and to be of service to the needs of our time. The unique relationship of Earth to Sun, Moon, Solar System, and the backdrop of the starry cosmos holds patterns and meaning by which we navigate. Astrology allows us to stand back and observe the human story. Through this we develop compassion and understand more deeply the uniqueness of each individual and ourselves. Come join me in learning this starry language along with a beautiful meditative symbol of our lives.
Included in this course is your astrology chart, and other informative handouts. Learning astrology allows us to broaden our understanding of the universe in which we live. It is a healing and paradigm changing experience.
