About the Astrology curriculum

The Astrology curriculum is a complete, self-paced course in specialized & historical, organised into 3 progressive levels and 9 modules. It opens with Foundations of History of astrology and Core methods in The zodiac & constellations, moves through Applying Planetary symbolism and finishes with expert-level work on Leading practice in Cultural uses and Mastering Critical evaluation.

Across the whole path you work through 27 individual topics — from History of astrology and Putting history of astrology to work at the start to Putting critical evaluation to work and Common pitfalls in critical evaluation by the end. The levels are estimated at 6 weeks · about 24 hours, 8 weeks · about 32 hours and 10 weeks · about 40 hours. Each level assumes the one before it, so you can work straight through from Intermediate to Expert, or start at the level that matches what you already know.

It is built for independent learners who want a serious, structured introduction rather than a collection of tips. The path mixes explanation with small reflective exercises, so the ideas become habits you can actually sustain.

Every module pairs a written summary with a worked example, a short quiz to check the idea landed, and a project brief drawn from real practice. You are never asked to take a concept on trust: the reasoning, the common mistakes and the situations where the approach stops working are all laid out, so you finish a module able to explain the idea rather than only recognise it.

Intermediate Astrology

Start with History of astrology, The zodiac & constellations and Planetary symbolism. Each module explains the idea, shows a worked example and ends with a short project, so Astrology becomes something you can do rather than something you have only read about.

Modules: Foundations of History of astrology · Core methods in The zodiac & constellations · Applying Planetary symbolism

  • History of astrology: History of astrology is where many Astrology learners first get stuck, so the module slows down, isolates the difficult step and rebuilds it with you.
  • Putting history of astrology to work: This module treats History of astrology as a tool: the question it answers, what it assumes, and what a correct use of it looks like in Astrology.
  • Checking your understanding of history of astrology: History of astrology is where many Astrology learners first get stuck, so the module slows down, isolates the difficult step and rebuilds it with you.

Project: Write a one-page explanation of History of astrology in your own words, with an example you chose yourself, and test it against the module checklist.

Advanced 8 weeks · about 32 hours 3 modules 9 topics

Advanced Astrology

Build on the intermediate level through Constructing a chart, Houses & aspects and Traditions of interpretation. The emphasis shifts from knowing the ideas to choosing between them — trade-offs, failure modes and the reasoning behind each decision.

Modules: In depth Constructing a chart · Patterns and trade-offs in Houses & aspects · Scaling Traditions of interpretation

  • Constructing a chart: Constructing a chart is pushed past the textbook case: competing approaches, their trade-offs and the situations where each one breaks down.
  • Putting constructing a chart to work: The module examines Constructing a chart closely, including the assumptions beneath it and what changes when those assumptions stop holding.
  • Common pitfalls in constructing a chart: Constructing a chart is pushed past the textbook case: competing approaches, their trade-offs and the situations where each one breaks down.

Project: Produce a short case analysis in which Constructing a chart drives the recommendation, including the alternatives you rejected and why.

Expert 10 weeks · about 40 hours 3 modules 9 topics

Expert Astrology

Work at the edge of Astrology through Astronomy versus astrology, Cultural uses and Critical evaluation. The modules assume fluency and ask for judgement: designing, critiquing and defending work at a professional standard.

Modules: Frontiers of Astronomy versus astrology · Leading practice in Cultural uses · Mastering Critical evaluation

  • Astronomy versus astrology: At expert level Astronomy versus astrology is treated as a field of judgement: current practice, contested positions and the evidence behind each.
  • Putting astronomy versus astrology to work: Astronomy versus astrology is examined at the frontier, with an emphasis on open problems, rigorous argument and decisions you can defend.
  • Common pitfalls in astronomy versus astrology: At expert level Astronomy versus astrology is treated as a field of judgement: current practice, contested positions and the evidence behind each.

Project: Write a professional-standard brief on Astronomy versus astrology — argument, evidence, limitations — plus a plan for taking the work further.
