Introduction to the Fundamentals of Astrology

6 Week Class September 20-December 6, 2021 7:00-9:00 PM at Sacred Waters

This six-week class will focus on the fundamentals of astrology using the book “The Essential Guide to Practical Astrology” by April Elliott Kent. The first class will begin September 20th and will meet the first and third Monday of the month through December 6th from 7:00 -9:00 p.m. at Sacred Waters. Judith Robert, Carol Lloyd, and Jamila Blue will be our teachers during this series.

Astrology, like all symbolic systems, is a means to imagine the world around us and within ourselves.  The ancient saying attributed to Hermes Tresmegistus, “As above, so below; as within, so without,” conveyed the idea that the movements of Sun, Moon and planets in the heavens mirrored events on earth and developments within the individual psyche.

Reflection upon the astrological birth chart, defined by the relationship of the planetary bodies and the Sun and Moon at birth, provides understanding of both our talents and our struggles, our aspirations and our fears, and gives meaning to our life story. While the patterns of our behavior and relationships seem to repeat themselves over time, with conscious reflection, we are capable of seeing the larger pattern of our life and making changes necessary to our individuation.  

No previous knowledge of astrology is required. Students should purchase the book in advance from Barnes & Noble or Amazon.  Students of all levels of astrology are welcome to drop into individual classes for the regular suggested donation of $20.

Biographies:

Jamila Blue has been working with astrology her entire life. Her mother was an astrologer before she was born and exposed her to the basic concepts of astrology from an early age. This has allowed for a more intuitive approach in her chart readings. Over the past couple years Jamila has decided to get back to the basics and began a course in Hellenistic Astrology. With so many approaches to astrology, this has helped her decipher the ancient principles of chart interpretation. She is now rebuilding her foundation from the ground up as she integrates these ancient teachings in her consultations. jamila@jamilablue.com
