Course Description

The Sun and Moon in any astrological birth chart is always at the very core of a person’s life – in terms of both how they view the world and relate to it from an internal perspective and also the kinds of events that happen to them in life. This course follows on from my Complete Introduction to Astrology course by going into much more detail about these central features of astrology.

Comprising 8 audio-visual classes of more than 5 hours, this course includes an on-screen powerpoint presentation that highlights the topics under discussion. For each of the luminaries, there is a reminder of their general archetypal nature, followed by a discussion of how they operate differently in each of the four elements – Fire, Earth, Air and Water.

Then comes the main feature of the course, which is how the Sun and Moon are affected by challenging (also know as ‘hard’) aspects, especially from Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. These aspects signify major challenges that a person will have to face in life and so a detailed understanding of these can go a long way to uncovering core issues that are central to a person’s life path.

Included in the course are example charts from well-known celebrities. In my own study I found tonnes of astrological theory but very few examples of how things work in practice, which is so important. In the classes covering these celebrity charts I explain in detail not only the important astrology, but also how it relates directly to the person’s actual life events. This is a powerful way to really understand how astrology works in the real world, not just as abstract theory.

Celebrity charts used include Marilyn Monroe, Oscar Wilde, Karen Carpenter, Oprah Winfrey, Alex ‘Hurricane’ Higgins, Russell Brand and L. Ron Hubbard.

Reviews

“This is a wonderful course! This course goes in-depth into how aspects (primarily challenging aspects) to the Sun and Moon within the birth chart affect an individual. Mark not only thoroughly examines each of these aspects but also discusses celebrity birth charts towards the end which is very helpful in understanding how each of these aspects actually plays out in real life. I would highly recommend this to anyone that is interested in learning more about astrology!”
