An Introduction to Chart Interpretation (6 weeks)

People don't go to an Astrologer to find confusion or to collect a million little details and speculations - they go to find some clarity and direction in their lives. Astrology's greatest strength is in its description of the inner person and that persons motivation and needs.

However, when faced with the myriad aspects of the birth chart, it can feel daunting and we can wonder where we can start! With this in mind. and using a work plan and sample charts, we'll take those first steps along the process of interpretation and synthesis of the birth chart.

The Signs of the Zodiac.

The signs of the Zodiac are descriptive of how we will use the planetary energies available to us. We'll explore the signs and look to see how many of the Zodiac signs are activated in our charts.

The Planets

To miming, the most important part of astrological learning. Each of the planets in our known solar sysy=tem represents a basic need, i.e the need for love, to communicate, to learn etc. The meanings and symbolism of the planets will be explored via mythology, sample charts and quizzes.

The Houses

the houses represent the different areas of activity in our lives and provide the stage settings for the grand drama played out by the planets. We'll look into the birth chart to see which areas of our lives i.e. relationships, home career etc are particularly activated.

We'll have some fun drawing together all we've learned so far.
