Contemporary Astrology

Overview

Astrology is a sacred science over 2000 years old. Kings and religious leaders throughout the ages relied heavily on their astrologers or their own knowledge of the heavens to guide them when making important decisions. (Many religious leaders of antiquity were expert astrologers.) The study of planetary movements is as old as the sky itself. Understanding what the planets and their cycles mean; decoding the inner workings of the Zodiac and grasping the concepts of the 12 houses gives you access to divine knowledge. Who are you? Why are you here? What works well for you and what doesn’t in this lifetime? All is revealed via the language of the stars.

What makes this program unique?

Awareness Institute’s Contemporary Astrology program is unique in the way ancient tradition, modern psychology and symbolic understandings are woven together. Through our program you will gain the ability to interpret the symbolic language of the sky. Our astrology programs are taught incorporating the philosophical, mythical and spiritual context in which astrology was created. Predating written texts, astrology was originally handed down verbally from master to apprentice. Our programs combine comprehensive facilitation and class material with at home exercises.

You can start astrology with Awareness Institute at the very beginning (great if you have never completed any formal astrology training) or contact us to gain recognition of any prior astrology study you have undertaken and slot into our program at your current knowledge level. We welcome students who have completed beginner courses elsewhere.
