Circumambulations through the bounds is an ancient timing technique, often attributed to the astrologers Nechepso and Petosiris. For over 2,000 years, astrologers have regarded it as a powerful predictive tool, capable of mapping distinct “chapters” of a person’s life. Each chapter, unfolding over several years, is governed by a pair of time lords whose influence shapes the tone, quality, and life events of the period.

In this course, you’ll gain a comprehensive and practical understanding of circumambulations through the bounds, equipping you to apply the technique with confidence. Each lesson will cover core concepts and interpretive principles, reinforced through real chart examples. By the end of this course, you’ll have hands-on experience using circumambulations as a precise tool for timing life events in natal chart interpretation.
