First half of each class is technique and philosophy, and the second half is actively taking turns reading charts.

 

Wherever you are on the spectrum from baby astrologer to intermediate, just listening to each other bravely go for it is educational and the best way to learn.

Just like being immersed in any other language you are learning, your body starts to feel the rhythm which is just as important as the techniques. 

About the Mentorship Program

  • 6 live meetings & optional mid-month practicums

  • Discuss & analyze your chart and charts that you bring to class
  • Monthly partners for practice and confidence building: each month, you will read each other's charts at whatever level you are at, as a way to build your confidence through experience
  • Final project of one chart that you thoroughly analyze and delineate and present to me at the end of class
  • Live attendance is ideal but all classes will be recorded and provided to students to be downloaded. 

If you are a baby astrologer/raw beginner then I advise taking the Intro to Astrology class in August first.

If you are already working at an intermediate level, then you can start with the Mentorship, although it's always good to build all the parts from the basics, no matter what level you are working at.

Homework & Final Project

This is optional, the course can be done with or without, but I guarantee you will learn more if you chose to do it. 

  • You will choose two charts that you will track (besides your own).

  • In addition to the homework each month, you will have a class project: pick someone famous (w reliable birth data) and record a half-hour reading in the last month, which I will listen to and give feedback, for graduation. You will also be given a class buddy, as making friends in astrology trainings can create lasting alliances. 

  • For each month’s homework, I encourage you to actively source the info and learn to effectively compute and gather data from the internet and books. 

  • Learn to compare and contrast, vet, and synthesize definitions that you find. 

Books & Supplies List
  • Ephemeris 

  • A tablet (suggested) 

  • Yesterday’s Sky by Steven Forrest 


You will have access to me via email for Q and A anytime, and I will provide weekly office hours that I encourage you to use.
