Finding the Heart of the Chart

A 10-part astrological journey over 2 months for those with a basis in astrology wanting to improve their chart interpretation skills while growing in personal and spiritual understanding as well. Course level is intermediate.*

This course aims to develop your technical confidence and intuition for better natal chart interpretation, and is especially designed with new or aspiring counseling astrologers in mind.

It is also open to intermediate-level students who enjoy learning astrology as a hobby!

Although the main emphasis will be on understanding natal charts, we will also examine the influence of transits depending on the nature of the chart, as well as how to share interpretations with the native with a view to empowering them to embrace life.

The course outline is tentative and many of the topics will necessarily overlap from week to week. The course will be centered on practical chart examples with interactive participation from the group, and will take some of its direction from student questions.

Outside of course session time, students will have the option of being paired off with different course members each week to practice reading each other’s charts. You will receive each other’s immediate feedback for the benefit of gaining experience and confidence with both charts and clients.

Lifelong Irish Mystic and Healer Roisin Eve will join us for an optional session to help you clear any blocks to success and develop your intuition as an astrologer.

All sessions are online via Zoom, and are recorded for later viewing.

During the course we will cover the following topics and more, as well as whatever emerges through student questions:

• Ways of approaching astrology, the natal chart… and the native!
• The importance of planetary rulers for assessing the qualities and “promise” of a natal chart 
• Understanding planetary dignities and day charts v. night charts
• The strength of the planets by sign and house
• Using the Decans for a deeper, more nuanced interpretation
• How working with derived houses deepens the understanding of the chart
•  Interpreting the broader themes of the Ascendant/Descendant axis, the Medium Coeli/Imum Coeli axis, and the Nodal axis
• How to put it all together in a synthesis for readings with individuals
• Lots of time for questions, guidance, and working with numerous sample charts
