I love helping writers and artists use astrology to further deepen their creative practice.
… but in order to do that, you sort of have to know what astrology is first.
This is what y’all have reminded me of in both the reader survey and a recent AMA in the [paid subscribers’] Discord. You’ve shared things like,
Would love more 101 or 102 based newsletters on the basics of astrology that I could return to when I get confused, especially something on the relationships between planets and zodiacs and houses.
I am still a newbie at this all so I’ve had to supplement my astrology education to fully understand terminology.
Any suggestions on how to study astrology? I love all of the gritty details, but also struggle to know how to actually make sense of various astrology resources when I have no framework.
While I pride myself on being someone who tries to explain astrological phenomena in practical, tangible ways, y’all have reminded me that you have to know what the thing IS in order to fully appreciate how it works or what it’s doing.
And so I’d like to invite you to So You Want to Learn Astrology,
an informal and inexpensive 4-week lecture series in which I’ll review the core fundamentals of astrology with you live — and take your questions live.
Over the course of November, we will review the astro basics you’ve never had ~personally~ explained to you by a professional astrologer.
This is for anyone who likes reading about astrology but struggles to remember what Saturn does, or who is confused about why certain signs and planets seem to go together, or what a birth chart even is in the first place.
We’ll focus on the planets, signs, and houses at a high-level so that you can feel confident reading (and actually understanding!) your horoscope.
here’s the syllabus:
week 1 / November 2nd: the foundation of foundations — what astrology is, what you can use it for, common misconceptions, plus what a birth chart ~actually~ looks like
week 2 / November 9th: the 7 traditional planets — and how they show up in your everyday life
week 3 / November 16th: the signs (and elements and modalities) — and what they tell us about your seasons of life
week 4 / November 30th: the houses of the birth chart — and what they mean for you
The Details
When? November 2nd, 9th, 16th, and 30th from 2-3:30pm Eastern. The informal lecture component will be 45-60 minutes, with 30-45 minutes of live Q&A.
Where? Zoom. All sessions will be recorded and available to download, so no worries if you have to miss it live.
We start next Sunday! I hope you’ll join us.
