Introduction to Natal Astrology – A Beginner’s Guide to Understanding the Self

Astrology has long been used to explore patterns, timing, and meaning in our lives. At its core, astrology examines the relationship between the visible movements of planets and the rhythms of human experience.

In this 6-week introductory course, we will delve into the symbolism and structure of natal astrology, starting with the zodiac signs, planets, houses, and aspects. Each session will build a foundation for understanding how our birth chart reflects our personality, life cycles, and areas ripe for growth.

We will also look at astrology’s practical applications—from personal insight to understanding relationships and cycles of change. Classes will include lectures, guided discussions, and hands-on practice working with students and sample charts. Given students’ birth information (date, place, and time of birth), the instructor will generate a personalized birth chart for each participant.
