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 this will stretch you in good ways.
