Astrology is tool for understanding, measuring and mapping out human nature and the cycles we are all a part of - whether we realize it or not.
Since ancient times, humans have observed a connection between the movements of the celestial bodies and human experience. Back then, charts were drawn by hand and very few humans were skilled astrologers - only those who could dedicate their lives to following planetary movements and keeping detailed observations had access to the full potential of astrology.
In modern times, humans have immediate access to the movement of the cosmos through their handheld devices. This has allowed the discipline to expand - humans are witnessing in real-time the undeniable proof that astrology is useful beyond the superficial Pop & Sun Sign Astrology that has clouded mainstream society's perception.
But astrology is a serious discipline that requires study, synthesization and reflection - an entire language of the cosmos must be learned and it can be overwhelming to know where to begin!
I'd like to introduce you to the Birth Chart and provide you with in-person guidance for proper navigation and interpretation.
By the end of this workshop, you'll have the foundation for a lifetime of interpersonal cosmic exploration.
In this workshop, you'll learn the basics of navigating the Birth Chart:
What are we looking at when we look at a circle chart?
Difference between Tropical & Sidereal
Understanding the Legend (Perspective/Polarity/Elements/Modality)
The 12 Houses and why you should know them (house systems briefly covered)
The 12 Sign Archetypes and their Motivations
The Planetary Rulers and why they are more important than the Signs
What is the AC/IC/DC/MC?! (Know your CROSS!)
What/where is the Rising Sign? (The "opening" of the chart)
The position of your Sun & Moon and why this information is so important
Aspects to the Sun & Moon and how they influence your perception & personality
