Teaching
Foundation Course in Astrology
Mondays, 6.30-8.30pm
Online via Zoom
Are you a beginner, wanting to learn astrology from the ground up? Or perhaps you would like to refresh your knowledge of specific topics, or gain practice at reading a whole chart?
Asteria Teaching offers a fully online introduction to astrology, starting in January. The course is aimed at anyone who would like to gain a firm foundation in how to read a birth chart - it is suitable for complete beginners, as well as anyone with knowledge of the basics who would like to revise and gain practice.
The course consists of nine separate units, which you can book by the term (three units) at a reduced price. For anyone taking the course as a beginner, we would recommend booking by the term. For students at 1st/2nd year levels of study who wish to refresh, practice and ground any of the topics, each unit is available to purchase separately.
Each unit consists of three sessions. You will receive a handout in advance which outlines the basics of each topic, plus a short list of suggested reading and some suggested self-study exercises, so that we can make the most of the live session time. The sessions are not recorded but you have permission to record via Zoom onto your own computer.
At the end of the course, if you have completed all nine units, you will receive a Certificate of Completion.
Course fees: £120 per unit or £300 if booking for the whole term (three units)
