with author/astrologer, Antero Alli

 

If you’re new to celestial symbolism, I think you’re fortunate to be starting
with ASTROLOGIK. You’ll be learning 21st century astrology. If you’ve been
consorting with the cosmic muse for years, get ready to lose your virginity
all over again; this guy will rattle you! - STEVEN FORREST astrologer/author

The 6-Week Course

This group course consists of six weekly private web pages of reading and task assignments (introduced every Saturday) plus ongoing interaction in an online group forum plus private instructor feedback via e-mail. Additional reading assignments are given from the course book, ASTROLOGIK, which can be purchased here (also see COURSE STRUCTURE below). NOTE: The edition of ASTROLOGIK used in this course is the updated 1999 version published by Vertical Pool.

The lessons will focus on your own astrology chart (which I construct for you and make available as a big easy-to-read jpg). This course requires approximately four to six hours per week of homework and independent study. I view this as a challenging Beginner's Course suitable for Beginning to Intermediate levels of astrological understanding.

"Antero Alli is the architect of a rowdy and iridescent system of astrology that
liberates and never ensnares. I suspect that Antero travels periodically to the
future, where he extracts the threshold perceptions with which he so lovingly
dismantles our favorite fanaticisms." -- ROB BREZSNY author/astrology columnist

Week One: The Houses
The 12-point grid of astrological houses will be examined as a mandalic landscape of life experiences to bring greater depth of insight into the meanings of the planets, the astrological signs and the all-important Nodal Axis.

Week Two: Nodal Axis, 12 Signs as Mated Pairs & Ascendant
How the Nodal Axis (North and South Nodes of the Moon) frames the context for the whole chart through which all the planets play a part in the "story" or personal mythos of the current life. We will examine the 12 astrological signs as "mated pairs" of charged polarities as demonstrated in the ASC/DESC and MC/IC axis, with a focus on the ASCENDANT (or Rising Sign).

Week Three: The Forces of Personal Development
The personal (inner planet) forces symbolized by the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn are interpreted through the psychological process of individuation, a progressive development of the maturing personality and Ego.

Week Four: The Transpersonal Forces of Soul Evolution
The transpersonal (outer planet) forces symbolized by astrological Uranus, Neptune and Pluto will be introduced as three distinct types of "outside shock" capable of catalyzing and accelerating transformation, spiritual awakening and humility.

Week Five: Aspects, How the Forces 'Talk' with each other
A little math will be required to figure out the angles shared between planets on your chart to determine how they "communicate" with each other: Conjunctions, Trines, Squares, Oppositions, Quincunxes and Sextiles.

Week Six: Transits, Mapping the Timing of Change
Using the predictive technique of "Transits", we will track and map the movements of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto to see how the timing of these forces might interface with our own charts and act on our daily lives.

MY APPROACH TO STUDYING AND TEACHING ASTROLOGY

---

 

 

I relate to astrology as a metaphor to bring more context and perspective into my life and the lives of those I teach and do readings for. I teach choice-centered astrology based in the belief that our choices and responses define our reality and not the planets in outer space. I do not believe the planets out there control or change our fates here on Earth. I believe astrology is an archetypal language for helping us understand ourselves in relation to the cosmos and as a way to communicate complex truths in symbolic, mythic, and mundane ways. I use astrology as a language -- not as a science, religion or belief system -- to track, map and articulate the qualities and tendencies of living forces and dynamics in our daily lives. I think astrology is best used as a tool and never an end in itself.

THE ASTROLOGIK ONLINE GROUP COURSE offers an intense, colorful study, and practice of astrological techniques and insights garnered throughout thirty years of practice as a professional astrologer. Each weekly lesson includes access to private web pages designed especially for this course, plus additional reading and task assignments, private online feedback from myself and the opportunity to interact with others taking this course online via a private group forum.
