Astrology is the study of the correlations between the positions of the planets in our solar system and events on Earth. It is a tool for understanding ourselves and our lives. Like other sciences, it is based on observation and its theories stand up against the test of reality.

Since ancient times, emperors, popes and kings have relied on astrologers for guidance. Astrology is cross-cultural and developed very similarly around the world. Today, itβs no longer reserved only for royals, but used by all people of all walks of life. Though itβs not restricted to the rich and ruling classes, J.P. Morgan did say, βMillionaires donβt use astrology, billionaires do.β

Would you sail the seas without a chart by which to navigate? Your natal chart is your personal map. It charts the skies at your birth moment from the viewpoint of your birthplace. It indicated your βhigh and low tidesβ, when your seas will be calm or stormy, and much more. Your chart is akin to the βhand of cardsβ youβve been dealt, however, the concept of βfree willβ is ever-present. As Ptolemy said, βThe stars impel, they do not compelβ. Learning the language of astrology and understanding your particular natal chart can aid you in making more informed choices throughout your life.

Itβs important to remember that astrological symbols are neutral. There are no good ones or bad ones, they just are. Each person is responsible for the way in which they embody their birth chart, and no astrologer can determine a personβs life trajectory from their birth chart alone. It is simply a blueprint for the happiest, most fulfilling, most spiritually creative growth path available to the individual.

No, this program is open to all beginners and those with experience. However, if youβd like to deepen your understanding of astrology further and how it corresponds with the plant kingdom, we highly recommend enrolling in our Astro-Herbalism Immersion, taught by Lupo Passero, Clinical Herbalism, star enthusiast, and gifted teacher! These are two highly complementary courses that inform the other.
