course description

Astrology For Your Self is a 12 week online course and group experience designed to enhance your astrology-awareness and support your personal, intuitive, independent use of astrology. 

 

The capacity for astrology to support one’s healing and spiritual transformation is exponentially greater once its symbolism is internalized and the user can translate the language of astrology on their own. This course will transform your astrology experience from one that is reliant on professional astrologers, horoscopes, astrology apps, and cookbook delineations to one that is grounded in your own lived experience, intuition, and personal agency. 

​

Astrology For Your Self introduces you to (or deepens your relationship with) the building blocks of interpreting natal astrology. Through the exploration of astrological systems, symbolism, and archetypes as well as guided self study, you will achieve astro-literacy and develop a more nuanced and empowering understanding of your Self. ​

​

Throughout the 12 weeks, you will be guided through the elements of astrology, cumulatively building your understanding one conceptual layer at a time and learning how to apply each component to your own natal chart. If you complete the full course, you will have a novice, but meaningful grasp on basic chart interpretation which will support the continued study of your own natal chart and transits as well as the application of these concepts to other’s natal charts and to astrology as a whole. 

 

Note - this course does *not* prepare you to be a professional astrologer. This course is for those in the beginning stages of learning astrology and/or those with a foundational understanding that are looking for dedicated time, space, and resources for deepening their self-study through the language of astrology. Becoming a professional astrologer requires years of study and many hours of chart practice, but it does begin with the basics and an application of the techniques to one's own life. 

 

The course is limited to a maximum of 25 participants at a time in order to ensure that each person receives appropriate attention and that participants are able to get to know one another.

about kelsey

 

Kelsey Rose is a practicing astrologer, life long learner, and passionate teacher. Her background in education has fueled her with insights, techniques, and skills that support and propel her insatiable thirst for sharing knowledge with others. As she’s delved deeply into a number of esoteric systems for empowerment and healing, she’s embraced applying what she knows about the processes of learning and teaching to the dissemination of these powerful modalities.

 

Kelsey has been teaching in various settings, from public high schools, to private voice lessons, to astrology, yoga, and reiki classes for adults, since 2011. Kelsey has been teaching astrology for 2+ years, through one on one tutoring, various short form workshops, and in the two previous iterations of this course. 

 

Kelsey believes that the greatest gift of astrology (and there are so many) is that seeing yourself through the lens of astrology allows you to see yourself through the eyes of the unity consciousness. The Universe knows that you are perfect as you are; that you are both a fragment of the wholeness and the wholeness itself; and how you can move through your life with more ease, comfort, compassion, joy, and success - whatever success means to you. 

 

Kelsey also believes that you know your chart better than any astrologer, because you’ve been living your chart your whole life on this earth. Learning about yourself from a trained astrologer or from horoscopes or an astrology app can be INCREDIBLY insightful, healing, and powerful, but there is nothing that holds a candle to the experience of knowing and interpreting the symbolism in your chart with your own sacred wisdom. Once you start, you never stop. You will keep learning and shifting and growing and extrapolating on your understanding of your chart for your whole life. This life-long process of enhanced understanding is what Kelsey hopes to initiate with you in this course. 

 

Join Kelsey for these 12 weeks and become anchored in your understanding of astrology, and more anchored in your understanding of yourself.
