 Beginning Astrology:  New group now forming

A new group is now forming to begin the study of Astrology in the Mystery School Tradition through the 2-year curriculum offered by The Houston Institute of Astrology.  The first class (AST 101) is scheduled to begin on January 18, 2020.  If you are interested in joining this group, please add your name to the “Potential Student List” by contacting Kim McSherry at hiakam@sbcglobal.net.  In order for the class to make, the minimum number of students required must be pre-registered for the class by January 13, 2020.  Pre-registration details are explained below. 

 

AST 101:  Beginning Astrology

Five alternate Saturdays beginning on January 18, 2020 (2/1, 2/15, 2/29, and 3/14) from 10am-3:30/4 pm.

Cost:  $250.  ($225. if pre-registered by 1/13/20)

The “alphabet” of Astrology consists of the astrological signs, planets and houses of the horoscope.  This course provides a basic introduction to the symbolic language of astrology, its symbols and their core meanings, their mythological roots, and their power as universal archetypes that have influenced all of Humanity throughout time.  Understanding of this language is the alpha and omega of Astrology – the foundation on which all knowledge of Astrology is built.  This is the first course of the HIA 2-year curriculum taught in The Mystery School Tradition, the first tenet of which is “KNOW THYSELF”.   If you are ready to embark on a challenging, profound, sometimes confusing, but ultimately wonderful journey of self-discovery, this is one of the many paths you might choose to pursue, and I look forward to sharing the journey with you!

Prerequisites:  NONE

 

AST 402  :  Synastry:  The Astrology of Relationship

Five alternate Saturdays beginning on January 25, 2020 (2/8, 2/22, 3/7, and 3/21) from 10am – 3:30/4pm.

Cost:  $225. ($200. if pre-registered by 1/20/20)

Synastry, or chart comparison, involves the use of astrology to understand the dynamics of the relationship between 2 or more people.  The emphasis of this course is the assessment of individual needs in relationship, the process/technique of chart comparison to determine compatibility and challenges within the relationship dynamic, and the use and interpretation of the composite chart, a midpoint chart that describes the “union” as an entity unto itself.  The specific synastric significators and composite charts of a variety of relationships (i.e. romance/marriage, parent-child, sibling, friends, open enemies, employer-employee) will be explored and demonstrated in class, as well as the influence of transits and progressions on the experience of relationship. 

Prerequisites:  All 100 and 200 level classes or equivalent knowledge.
