Course Description
Astrology is the study of the relationship between the relative positions of certain celestial bodies and life here on earth. Because the word astrology comes from the Greek words astron, meaning ‘star' and logos, meaning ‘word', we can literally translate astrology to mean the language of the stars. A language and practice that has developed over thousands of years by numerous cultures around the world since its earliest recorded beginnings in the third millennium BC.
In this self-paced, online course we will explore the wonderful world of astrology, and how it can impact your daily life. We'll discuss the basics, terminology, symbols, natal charts, the twelve signs of the Zodiac, the planets, the houses, elements & modalities, angles, quadrants, aspects, orbs, and so much more. And by the end of this class, we'll put together all of the knowledge gained so that we can determine a person's astrological chart! So what are you waiting for? Join us today, and let's learn the fundamentals of astrology!
Course Lessons
Lesson 1: Astrology 101: What is it?
Astrology is the study of the relationship between the relative positions of certain celestial bodies and life here on earth.
Lesson 2: How does Astrology Work?
Some scientists and astrologers believe that electromagnetism, gravity and quantum physics are possible connections to explain our connection to the planets.
Lesson 3: The Terminology of Astrology
Like most fields, astrology introduces us to a whole new set of terms, phrases and symbols that can often seem like a foreign language to the unfamiliar.
Lesson 4: Symbols of Astrology (glyphs)
Astrology is most often interpreted through a set of astrological symbols called glyphs.
Lesson 5: Natal Charts
A natal chart is like a birth map that charts the sky and the positions of the planets at the precise moment of one's birth.
Lesson 6: The Twelve Signs of the Zodiac
The zodiac is the band of constellations through which the Sun, Moon, and planets move.
Lesson 7: The Planets
In ancient times, the night sky was observed to consist of fixed stars, which remained motionless in relation to each other, and five wandering stars that came to be known as planets.
Lesson 8: The Houses
There are twelve houses of the Zodiac, each one representing different sectors of life that are described in terms of physical surroundings as well as personal life experiences.
Lesson 9: The Elements & Modalities
The Elements and Modalities are classifications that refer to the core human characteristics and very much help make the Signs what they are.
Lesson 10: The Angles, Quadrants, Aspects & Orbs
When erecting a chart wheel, it can be divided into four quadrants.
Lesson 11: Putting it All Together For a Reading
Now that we have an understanding of what can make up an individual's astrological chart, let's learn how to read a chart.
