TERM 2
12-Week Online Term
Meets on Saturdays / Every Other Week-ish
10:00 AM – 1:00 PM Eastern
HOUSES & ASPECTS
We’ll thoroughly explore the meanings of each of the 12 Astrological Houses, as well as Aspects and Aspect Patterns in depth. We will also begin to “put it all together” by looking at the astrology birth charts of you, the students, as well as many celebrities, both wonderful and nefarious. This is the part that makes astrology come alive!
INFO ON HOW TO REGISTER BELOW
YOU MUST HAVE A VERY GOOD WORKING KNOWLEDGE OF PLANETS & SIGNS -or- HAVE COMPLETED TERM 1 BEFORE REGISTERING FOR THIS COURSE.
In Term 2 of Fundamentals & Essentials of Astrology, the astrological houses come ALIVE. Houses are the “where” in the “who, how, where, and when” formula of astrology. Each of the 12 houses shows a particular area of your psyche, and a stage upon which part of your life unfolds. You’ll learn in depth about each of the 12 houses and how planets live through them. Term 2 also unfolds the language of the psyche via aspects, specific geometric angles of distance between two or more planets, which describe the conversation and the tone between different parts of your self and your internal dialogue. Aspects truly illuminate the inner and external dynamics of every individual.
This is the astrology course that I wish I had found when I began my study of astrology!
Can’t wait to see you in class!
