As part of CULTIVATING MASTERY: Intermediate Astrology Course in conjunction with the Scottish Astrological Association (SAA), we are offering each of the four modules individually. Astrology is a practice that has been shaped by the profound history of human interaction with the living sky. As astrologers the more aware we are of this history, the philosophies that gave shape to the eyes of the ancestors of our craft, and the icons that left deep marks on this lineage, the further we move into relation to this profound history. This module explores the warp and weft of the astrological tradition steaming from its ancient past of central and western Asia, northern Africa and into Europe, and North America. Cultivating mastery requires an awareness of our lineage for we stand on the shoulders of those that came before us even as we look to the sky with contemporary eyes.
The module is taught via Zoom with the opportunity for Q&A. Each session will be held from 6:30pm-8:30pm (GMT) on Mondays and Thursday. All lectures will be recorded and made available to students immediately afterwards along with any material shared in the session.
Please note payments will be taken through a business page for one of the instructors. There are payment plans available for all options. Registration is just below.
