Star School
Star School: where you meet the stars...
The aim of this six week Star School is to engage you with the role of Fixed Stars in today’s astrology.
The stars add a deeper level to your natal chart
as they speak of the idea of your spirit before it encounters and blends with your planets.
The Star School teaches you the way that stars were originally used in astrology – parans – how they rise and set with your planets. The school is presented over six weeks where we cover the key stars in astrological work.

*An understanding the role of the stars as spirit and how spirit blends with planets altering the expression of you natal planets.
*The role of the Heliacal Rising and Setting stars.
*Learn the different meanings and myths linked with different stars.
*Learn how to find the stars in the sky!
Each week’s session consists of an online lecture plus a Q & A session. These are recorded and made available to you in the Astro Logos Learning Centre where you will find additional material, forums and extra ‘how to’ videos.
