Since 2015, Moon has worked with close to 100 grieving clients, using the Death Chart as a way to bring hope and healing to their lives after the loss of a loved one.

What You’ll Learn:

• The emotional, counseling, and empathic skills needed to work with grieving people. You will gain a basic understanding of grief, loss, and trauma. You will learn how to ground, center, clear, and cleanse before and after a death chart session and ways to open and conclude a death chart session.
• An introduction to counseling skills necessary for working with death charts.
• The astrology of working with death charts. You will learn to see the aspect patterns corresponding to loss in the natal chart, understand how to delineate a death chart, and how to integrate eclipses with the death chart (in a bi-wheel) as a way to bring understanding, hope and healing to the client.

Weekly Topics:

1. Focus on understanding both grief and trauma and how they can be delineated in the birth chart, along with ways to create a healing and helpful experience for the client during a death chart session. Specific emphasis will be placed on how to open, maintain, and close a Death Chart session, along with the importance of self-care in doing this work.
2. Learn to interpret the Death Chart itself, understand it in relation to the client’s natal chart, and use eclipses before and after the death to bring a deeper understanding of the loss.

By the end of this course, students will:

• Be able to define the stages of grief and recognize them during a client session. Additionally, they will learn the difference between loss and suffering and how to help those who are suffering too much.
• Have an understanding of trauma, how it presents in a client session, and how to respond appropriately.
• Learn to identify trauma and planetary indications of loss in the birth chart.
• Analyze the role of eclipses, using our understanding of the nodes and how they add deep meaning to bereavement, loss, and healing.
• Learn the three-part system, including how to identify loss in the natal chart, how to analyze a death chart, and how to synthesize the eclipses and transits surrounding death to bring meaning and hope to their clients.
