About this Event

Tuesdays, 6:30 – 8:30 p.m. CT
October 22 – November 12 (4 classes)

Registration includes a personal astrology chart!

In this four-week class, participants have fun identifying and understanding the basic elements of a birth chart. Together, we will look at what each of the signs, houses, planets, and aspects mean, and by their symbols identify them on the horoscope wheel.

Registration students will need to provide their birth information so the instructor can prepare charts ahead of time and have them available by the evening of the first class. Participants will refer to their personal charts as the class proceeds.

To have your chart available for the first class, please register by October 18 and follow the instructions in your registration confirmation.

Students should have a notebook and pen available for each class. The book by Linda Goodman is recommended but not required.

See below for a full course syllabus.
