So, you like astrology and you know a few odd bits about it, but you haven’t gotten hands on with it yet. You’re aware that astrologers study the movements and cycles of the planets, and it seems fascinating, but the calculations involved seem formidably complex to you and you’re not quite sure what to do with an ephemeris. You like the idea of knowing more about astrology, and even learning how to apply it like a boss, but you’re not quite sure where to start or how to get beyond first gear.
If this sounds like you, then clearly you need Advanced Astrology for Beginners. The most direct route to the most useful and consistently reliable astrology under the sun!
There are countless rabbit holes you could get lost in and distracted by if you embark on the study of astrology. Not everything that passes for astrology is equally credible. There are several techniques and methods about which astrologers are not in universal agreement, and many a poor hapless beginner finds themselves bewildered by such things as the different house systems and zodiacs, and what not.
Advanced Astrology for Beginners is for the most part a purely geometric approach to astrology. We’ll use the zodiac as little more than a convenient way to measure simple, beautiful geometric angles. Triangles, squares and hexagons for the most part. Nothing too complicated, and yet, using just a handful of special geometric angles and patterns, you will soon hold in your hands some of the most effective keys to identifying major character traits in a birth chart.
But the crowning jewel and pièce de résistance of this Advanced Astrology for Beginners course is learning to read an ephemeris and calculating your own transits. No matter how long you study astrology for, and no matter how skillful and erudite you become, this will remain the most useful astrological skill you ever learned.
As you progress in your study of the cycles and rhythms of the cosmic clock which is the solar system, and the kaleidoscopic interplay between this macrocosm and your own personal geometric fingerprint, you will soon realize that what you are witnessing is a grand celestial symphony that sweeps us all into a great cosmic dance.
You will be redeemed from the ranks of the believers and ushered into the company of the knowers. Henceforth your life will no longer be a bewildering movie in a foreign language, because now you can read the subtitles!

- Basic Astronomy for Astrologers8
- Astrological ABC's - Planets, Signs, Houses & AspectsAstrological interpretation is all about reading and interpreting combinations of symbols. The Planets, Aspects, Signs and Houses constitute the basic alphabet with which one ultimately constructs the words and sentences that unveil the message of the stars. There are certainly other factors that could enter into your astrological equations- but Planets, Aspects, Signs and Houses are the most essential components of the system, and the appropriate place to begin. What follows is a basic description of these elementary symbols and their astrological significance. Although most of what will be presented here is conventional western astrology, I have here and there infused the content with bits of Vedic astrology where it seemed appropriate. Often one system makes explicit what is implicit in the other.4
- Focusing on AspectsThere are many good reason to give aspects pride of place in your astrology. When we're dealing with houses and zodiac signs we encounter some very real and important questions. Which house system? Which zodiac? With aspects you're always on solid ground.1
- TransitsThis is the most exciting and useful thing you'll ever learn in astrology! This doesn't get old. Transits provide a huge amount of useful information on the ebb and flow of life. We discover a world of personal rhythms and cycles in the kaleidescopic interplay between the moving solar system and our unique individual cosmic pattern and signature.0
