* * * Learn Astrology: Basic Astrology: "Experiential" Astrology * * *

Studying astrology can be an overwhelming, intimidating and very left-brained experience. This class is different. In addition to the theory and facts, the class incorporates the use of your own natural, intuitive abilities to deepen your understanding of the material. This combination enables you to have your own personal experience of the planets, which brings a deeper understanding of astrology and its language. Any subsequent classes, lectures, workshops etc. will be easier to follow and understand.

The purpose of this introductory and experiential astrology course is to teach the background and basic principles of western astrology. It focuses on the planets (the players) and incorporates signs (the scripts) and houses (the scenes). The Course is suitable for those with little or no astrological knowledge. This course offers everyone a chance to experience astrology on a very personal level and each experience is different. All students are encouraged to ask questions and participate in group discussions. A willingness to learn more about yourself and others enhances your enjoyment and success.

The Course focuses on natal astrology and enabling each student to begin to read and interpret their own chart. Therefore, your birth chart be explored and discussed during the class. So, remember to provide your birth date, time and location when registering.

A journal and 'special' pen is all that the student is required to purchase and bring along to each class. The journal is intended to record all information given in class as well as experiences during the week, including thoughts, questions, dreams, drawings, cuttings, found objects etc..

Extra reading will be suggested and recommended as an adjunct to class activities. Some 'homework' may be set but will not be mandatory. It is hoped that through external reading and practice each person will increase their skill and interest in the art.
