INTRODUCTION. This course introduces the history and fundamentals of Western Astrology. It describes the foundations upon which a natal chart is created and the background to its meaning. Planetary astrology is based upon the four elements of Fire, Earth, Air and Water, each of which has a prominent energy, psychological theme and specific manifestations. Each of the elements and their correspondences will be examined and explored using student's own charts as examples. You will be given your own natal chart as part of this workshop.

THE SIGNS. Part 2 will explore the 12 signs that form the foundation of the Astrological Zodiac. The sequence of signs begin with Aries, then Taurus and finishes with Pisces. Each has certain qualities and characteristics. Each person is born with the Sun in one of these signs which we refer to as our Sun sign. However at the time of our birth, the other planets will be in other signs thus providing far more information about our individual characteristics. They also represent the stages of initiation and development of the human life cycle and guide us in the process of negotiating important life stages and challenges. Each Sign will be examined in detail.

THE PLANETS. Part 3 will explore the 10 major planets in our Solar System. In particularly we will explore the planetary energies and their psychological emphasis in our lives and Destiny. What characteristics do we have that reflect their qualities? Realisation of this can provide us with an understanding and insight into the often deep and complex aspect of the human psyche and empower us in the potentials of our lives that the planets illuminate. This subject will examine the Sun and the Moon and the 8 other planets and their fundamental energetic qualities that influence our characters. Although Pluto has been demoted to a minor planet its importance is still considered as that of a planet. The placement of the Planets in different signs will be explored. |

THE HOUSES. Part 4 will explore each of the 12 Houses. The astrological chart looks like a wheel with 12 divisions. The divisions are called ‘Houses’ and are the ‘stage’and the underlying Mandala, for the Planets and the signs to manifest their dynamics. The Houses also symbolise the stages of human development. This subject will examine the 12 Houses, their rulerships and qualities. Astrological emphasis will be made to the meaning of the Angles, the Ascendant and Descendant, House Cusps and their influence in our lives. |
