This six-week course is designed to give the student a thorough working knowledge of the theory and practice of genethlialogy, or natal astrology. The student will learn:

  • The history and philosophy of the art
  • The planetary, zodiacal, and house significations
  • And how to interpret and synthesize all the information contained in a natal chart into a coherent “picture” of the native (the subject of the natal chart) and their life’s narrative arc.

There will be an optional exam and certificate in natal astrology from the Institute for Hermetic Studies with a passing grade.
