RN103 – Fundamentals III: Building Delineation Skills – Fall 2023-24
Course description: Students will have the benefit of a two-session exposure to the methodology developed by veteran astrologer, Susie Cox. This is a simplistic but powerful, visual and linguistic approach to chart synthesis.
Topics include:
- Developing critical thinking skills through examining conflicting views and asking questions about varying subjects such as dignities, sect, the existence of good or bad planets, and house placements
- Characteristics of effective and ineffective astrologers
- Practice with multiple approaches to the delineation of the chart
- Learning to identify personal filters and those related to the natal chart
- Techniques for blending chart components such as the Sun, Moon, and Ascendant
- Identifying and using essential and accidental dignities to differentiate between expressions of planetary essence and strength in the natal chart
- Learning how to differentiate the quality of aspects through consideration of variations in planetary relationships by their nature and placement in the chart
- Learning how dispositors, time lords, planetary speed, and derivative houses can enhance chart interpretation
