This workshop is organized in three hands-on sessions. It will guide you through synthesizing complex astrological data into meaningful interpretations, all within a supportive learning environment.
Date: 9th, 16th, 23rd July
Time: 6:30-8:30pm UK time
Place: Online
Session 1: Overview and Hierarchy of astrological factors
We’ll start by revisiting essential tools that we can use in our interpretations: chart balance and planetary distributions to aspect patterns, dignities, and lunation types. We’ll then immediately put these concepts to work, applying them to a real-world, unpublished chart presented by the tutor. Collaborating in small groups, you’ll begin the process of dissecting the chart’s core elements and identifying key areas for focus. You’ll receive some homework to help you prepare for the next session and make the most of it.
The objective of the first session is for you to understand what are the main astrological factors to take into account in your final interpretation and how to interpret them.
Session 2: Exploring Planetary Potential
This session goes right to the heart of the chart: the planets. We’ll explore their natal condition – what are they expressing? What are their core motivations? And most of all, how do they interact with each other as a whole? This is an opportunity to deepen the understanding of the chart and find all the necessary details to comprehend its inner dynamics. With this information, we will be equipped to prepare a full interpretation. Again, you will given some small bits of homework so that you can prepare for the third and final session.
The objective of this second session is to enable you to scrutinise each astrological factor to get as much information as possible.
Session 3: Weaving the Threads – Synthesis and Structure
In our final session, we’ll focus on synthesis – bringing together all of the information we’ve uncovered. We’ll explore practical methodologies for structuring a report, focusing on two key approaches: identifying life themes or examining specific life areas. You’ll practice finding the relevant astrological significators for each theme/life area and learning effective ways to articulate your interpretive findings.
The objective of this final session is to learn how to synthesize what you have discovered about the chart.
Some details about this workshop to bear in mind:
- Our Perspective: We’ll be working within the Faculty’s established approach, which is psychological, non-deterministic, and focuses on exploring potential rather than fixed predictions.
- Hands-On Focus: This is primarily a practical workshop. Expect active engagement and direct application of concepts with live guidance from your Faculty tutor.
- Who Should Attend? While completion of Modules 1-3 isn’t mandatory, a solid working knowledge of the basics (planets, signs, houses, aspects) is essential for participation.
- This is an interactive workshop: The sessions will not be recorded. You are expected to attend live with your camera and mic open to participate and engage with the rest of the participants and your tutor.
