Astronomy for Astrologers

Instructors: Brandon Hansen & Geoff Gronlund

Astronomy is the foundation upon which the cathedral of Astrology is built. By understanding the scientific processes which turn the celestial spheres, philosophies and techniques of the practitioner are validated and edified.

In this course, students will learn the skill of chart visualization, build a robust understanding of astrology’s systems and rationales, gain the confidence to speak to skeptics and clients alike with authority, be guided in building a rewarding stargazing practice, and find deeper value in every other course in Kepler College’s catalog.
