Advanced Astrology

for Beginners

2, 9, 16 & 23 August 2008


This course is an intensive introduction to the world of astrology, an introduction that should leave you well equipped to carry on exploring the subject on your own with confidence. Although general principles of chart interpretation will be covered, the most important skill that participants will gain from this course is the ability to calculate and interpret Transits (astrological life cycles) in great detail. Simply observing over time how Transits work will suffice to give a person deep insight into astrology, life and people- guaranteed!

This course will also introduce you to the laws of astrological “relationship compatibility”, and more specifically the way the inherent dynamics between two (or more) people are rhythmically triggered by Transits. This can in itself lead to a whole new appreciation of what's really going on in your personal relationships, and therefore an enhanced ability to make the most of

them.

This course focuses on providing you with practical tools and real applicable skills. Any participant who makes an effort to follow and apply the information and techniques presented will learn to do astrology that really works!

Anyone can enroll, and the techniques taught can be a very effective way of exploring your own personal patterns and psychological tendencies. Healers and therapists who are interested in adding astrology to their repertoire of diagnostic skills may find this the ideal inroad into the potentially formidable maze of astrology's technicalities and are warmly invited to join.

Richard Fidler has nearly two decades of experience in the field of astrology and has successfully introduced scores of people to the wonders of astrology through this type of course.
