Course Description
Astrology is the language of time. Everything that is born, that has a lifespan and an ending is a space/time event. All space/time events leave a signature in the sky. Astrology helps us read that signature, providing and interpreting clues to the evolution of our health, prosperity, relationships, and career. In this class, we will introduce the basic structure of this language- the verbs and nouns, the grammar and syntax, that will help us one day speak it fluently. Special emphasis will be given to understanding the sometimes hidden causes of disease, and how they can be understood from the standpoint of time: the ‘temporal’ etiology of the disease process.
