A Beginning Astrology Series
The study of astrology is a journey toward self understanding and an understanding of others. Our astrological horoscope (called the birth chart) is a blue print of the energy fields of the planets at the exact moment and place of our birth. The birth chart reflects the energies of our soul; it shows our highest potential, behaviors tendencies, and areas of struggle and growth. Our free will determines how these areas play out. Most people are only aware of their sun sign when referring to astrology, but all the planets and their signs play an important role in our lives and can be used to gain a deeper understanding of our experience.
Astrology is based on the assumption that we are constantly evolving and changing; everything is in motion. Free will and conscious choice play into our interactions with the world. There is harmony in the universe and everyone is part of the greater whole. We all follow cycles and patterns; the same force that moves the planets animates us. Our understanding of these archetypal, planetary energies, gives us insight into our own unconscious motivations and ingrained beliefs. From the moment we were born, we are programmed by society how to act, think and feel. With the help of astrology, we can transform our attitudes and behavior and embrace being our unique selves.

INTERPRETING PLANETARY ASPECTS IN THE NATAL CHART – the geometric angles between the planets. This will be a series of 4 classes, one monthly from February to May. In this series, we will focus on the different aspects in the natal chart. In today’s class, we will discuss the aspect of the conjunction (0 degrees) and then practice what we learn using our own charts for review. My ultimate goal for these Saturday classes is to be more experiential, allowing us as a group to practice interpreting the symbols, embodying the energies and acting out the dynamics of the aspects. This will be a form of role playing (similar to astro drama or voice dialogue) using different scenarios to gain an understanding of the range of possible expressions. My intent for these classes is to be playful and have fun while learning.
Saturday classes will be more experiential in nature. The first part of the class will be a discussion on a chosen topic and the remaining time will be spent exploring the charts using astro-drama to expand our understanding of the energies and their range of possible expression in a natal chart.
*Prerequisite for this class: to have a general understanding of a natal birth chart, planets, signs and houses.
Class list at Lisa’s web site: http://radiantlightastrology.com/?page_id=14. Please contact Lisa Hurt E-mail: lisa.c.hurt@gmail.com for any questions or concerns. All classes will be held at OASIS Institute, 4928 Homberg Dr., Knoxville, TN 37919.
