Astrology
1: The Building Blocks
The three astrological
components of a birth chart, the planets, the zodiac signs, and the houses are
discussed in detail. Students will learn WHAT each planet represents.
Students will discover HOW the planets
express themselves by which SIGN of the zodiac they are placed. Thirdly, the student will learn that the
HOUSE in which the planet falls will indicate WHERE in our lives the focus of
this energy is likely to be played out. At the conclusion of Level 1 students
will understand the basic structure of a birth chart by combining the three
building blocks of the planet, sign and house.
Astrology 2: The
Birth Chart Story
This module provides greater technical
knowledge, along with more insight into how your birth chart can be used to help
you function in your everyday life. There is an emphasis on relationships
(ASPECTS) between the different planetary energies in your chart. This
highlights which areas of your psyche function easily and where your greatest
challenges (soul growth) occur. CHART SHAPES and PATTERNS, CHIRON, the
lunar NODES and an introduction to TRANSITS are all added to build the
astrological story whilst adding more depth to the building blocks of Astrology
1. As we find that all of the planetary
energies are constantly interacting with each other, the chart starts to
come alive from a perspective of past, present and the future. At the conclusion of Level 2 students
will have basic proficiency with reading a birth chart.
Astrology 3:
The Evolving Birth Chart
This module is designed to explore the
relationship between the birth chart and time.
We now show how influences
outside our birth chart energetically impact on us. The relationship between two birth
charts through SYNASTRY and COMPOSITE astrology is explored so that we can gain
a greater understanding of why some people seem to affect us more than others. How we evolve, unfold or progress over
time is shown astrologically by using PROGRESSIONS. The
meaning of a TRANSIT in greater depth, focusing intently on life cycles and
interpreting them against the natal and progressed backdrop. At the conclusion of Level 3
(Certificate Level) students will have a basic proficiency with interpreting a
natal chart in relation to a period in time, and be able to make simple
predictions. Students will also be shown how to pull all the information together
to structure an astrological session.
The
Cycles of the Transiting Planets Workshop
This is a one day workshop covering the
basic astronomical movements of the planets and their corresponding astrological
effects. The various cycles of all the planets
will be examined using the model of the lunation cycle as a prototype. The various passages of life eg. the
“Saturn Return” and the “Mid-Life Crisis” will be discussed in context of a
lifetime. An understanding of where the planets
are now, how they are transiting your birth chart, and what that means for you
individually will also be explored. Astrology 1 and 2 or equivalent are a
pre-requisite
Advanced Transit and
Progression Workshop
This workshop is designed to teach how
to interpret planetary dynamics as they transit and progress the natal chart
using astrological theory. It will also assist in gleaning a
chart’s energy intuitively. Students will be assisted in how to
combine and prioritise all the information, as well as how to relay the
information successfully to the client using positive counselling skills.
Astrology
4: Chart Practice and Integration
This module is designed to give
practical experience to students who have completed the Certificate in
Astrology. Each week students will be asked to
prepare a chart for discussion so that different ideas and approaches can be
shared. Clients will be made available for group
CLINICAL PRACTICE during the term. Some new concepts such as SOLAR RETURNS
are also added to the mix. This is a chance for discussion of ideas
and concepts whilst allowing for the digestion of all the theory through
examples. COUNSELLING techniques are also
discussed and students will be assisted in reframing ideas into constructive
comments for positive client outcomes.
Spiritual Astrology Workshop
These workshops are
geared towards allowing students to feel rather than just intellectualise
the energy of the astrological symbols and signs. These workshops are run
over one or two days and are designed not only to connect with the spiritual
aspects of ourselves but also as a therapeutic technique to heal some of our
dysfunctional behaviours. They are designed for anyone who is interested in
understanding more about their spiritual essence and although based on
astrology, no astrological knowledge is necessary. There are limited places
in these workshops in order to create an intimate space in which healing can
occur.
FAA Dynamics
Techniques Workshop
This workshop is geared toward people
who are sitting the FAA Dynamic Techniques Exam. All aspects of what is required
by a candidate will be included focusing on answering the question, Astrological
knowledge, reasoning and synthesis, essay structure, and writing style and
skill. This session will provide you with extra
confidence while writing your essays. This workshop is only for people who are
at exam standard.
