Series 1: Sun, Moon, Rising

Registration Closed

Meets January 7, January 21, February 4, and February 18

The first part of our series will give you seven weeks of deep insight into the most essential parts of your character, nature, and purpose, as well as the tools for understanding how to read your chart. We will meet on Monday evenings four times during the cycle for an in-person class and discussion. Every week, we will send you a lesson on the elements of your chart that most personally describe who you are. These are the building blocks of astrology, and you’ll be learning the most critical energies of your birth chart as we move through the lessons.

  • The Sun: Your ego nature

  • The Moon: Your emotional regulation style

  • The Ascendant: How others perceive you, and the planetary energy that rules your chart

We'll do custom tarot spreads and explore the tarot throughout the class as a tool to dig deeper into our understanding of ourselves and our journey.

Plus, you'll get $20 off individual tarot and astrology readings while you're in the class!

We will also begin to explore the aspects in your chart—conjuncts, oppositions, squares, trines, and sextiles—and how the energies of the planets and signs interact with one another and paint a picture of your greatest gifts and challenges. We will meet on Monday evenings four times during the seven-week series for an in-person class and discussion. Every week, we will send you a lesson on these inner planets and their resonance.

In the final course series, you will learn about your luck, your lessons, and how your own ongoing story ties to the ongoing story of humanity and the collective. We will also learn how the houses work in astrology, and you will explore the most activated houses in your chart and how to understand them as “specialty areas” for this lifetime. We will meet on Monday evenings four times during the seven-week series for an in-person class and discussion. Every week, we will send you a lesson on these inner planets and their resonance.

  • Jupiter: Your luck and how you experience growth

  • Saturn: Your responsibility, and the most important lessons you are being asked to learn in this lifetime

  • The Generational Planets (Pluto, Neptune, and Uranus): How our stories tie to the stories of our peers and the collective.

This is a great series for people with Saturn in Capricorn (currently experiencing Saturn return) or Aquarius (Saturn return coming up in 2020), because it will help you to understand how to work with Saturn’s lessons and make the most of this time in your life.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost?

Each Series:

  • $160 or two payments of $80 if you sign up before December 3

  • $200 or two payments of $100 during regular enrollment

Full Course:

  • $400 or 5 payments of $80 if you sign up before December 3*

  • $500 or 5 payments of $100 during regular enrollment** 

*$200 discount for signing up for the full course before December 3

**$100 discount for signing up for the full course during regular enrollment

Do I have to pay for the full course all at once?

No, you can pay in monthly installments, whether you are signing up for Series 1, Series 2, Series 3, or the whole course. If you sign up during the discount period, the charge will be $80 per month. If you sign up during regular enrollment, the charge will be $100/month.

When will I be charged if I’m using a payment plan?

You’ll be charged for the first payment when you purchase the course, and once a month after that. So if you are signing up for Series 1, that’s one payment in December and one in January. If you’re signing up for the full course, it’s a payment in December, January, February, March and April.

If you have signed up for two course Series, but not all three, it’s four payments. But heads up - you can pay the same amount and get all three Series if you sign up before December 3 for the full course, so that’s probably a better option!

What will I learn in this class?

You will learn the essentials for how to read your natal chart (also called the birth chart). You’ll learn how each of the planets’ energies work in your life, how the four major angles in your chart impact your life (Ascendant or “Rising” sign, Descendant, IC, and MC—don’t worry if you don’t know what those are yet!), and which houses are the most activated in your chart—basically, your specialty areas during this lifetime. You’ll also learn how to work with the tarot for insight into the themes that are unfolding . Our working title for this course was, “Astrology and Tarot for Personal Discovery”—we wanted to find a one-word title, but that still describes the idea. We want to give you the tools to understand and celebrate and work with your self and your gifts.

A few nerdy notes on the type of Astrology you’ll be learning, if you have a little more experience: we use whole sign houses in the course, and traditional sign rulers. A lot of modern astrology is based on the Placidus system and includes Neptune, Uranus, and Pluto as sign rulers, but we’re using the ancient system that only goes up to Saturn for sign rulers. It’s a lot easier to understand the way planetary energies work together using these systems, and it’s also the way I (Laura) read charts, but the whole sign system may change how you’re looking at your houses a little bit and how you understand the signs of the zodiac.

If all of that doesn’t mean anything to you, don’t worry! These are the things we’ll be learning about during the course.

What tarot deck will we use in the course?

You can bring any tarot deck to the course, and it will be usable for our work. We’ll most frequently reference the Smith-Waite (Rider-Waite) deck, but you should be able to work with any deck.
