This two-part course unlocks the language of the stars, guiding you toward clarity, purpose, and self-discovery. Part 1 introduces core principles such as zodiac signs, planets, houses, aspects, and the ancient Thema Mundi, laying a strong foundation for your studies. Part 2 focuses on practical application, teaching the importance of the ascendant, how planets express themselves in signs and houses, understanding retrogrades and aspect patterns, exploring house systems and rulers, and refining intermediate chart interpretation techniques. Together, these parts equip you to read birth charts with more confidence, transforming your understanding of yourself and others.

Learn at Your Own Pace + Live Q&A

This course has been carefully designed, with step-by-step guided videos and companion materials, allowing you to study at your own pace, whenever it suits you best!
