Classes and Workshops, 2024
Learning astrology can be a life-changing experience. Not only does it involve discovering a new symbolic language but, being a whole cosmology in itself, it will profoundly shift the way you see life - inwardly and outwardly. There’s also the important benefit that, as learning will mostly be centred on your own horoscope, you gain a deeper understanding of who you are and how you tick.
I offer several teaching options, from short or longer courses those completely new to the craft, to on-going classes, tutorials and workshops for more intermediate and advanced students.
My teaching background involves lecturing at the Centre for Psychological Astrology in London (2006-7), 16 years as tutor for the international distance learning Mayo School of Astrology, and extensive private teaching over the past 20 years in the UK and New Zealand. I have also taught astrology in schools to year 8 children (age 13-14) and for many years held after-school classes for youth.
Beginners Option
Foundation Astrology - an On-Line Introductory course
Starting on 14th March 2024 I will be running a full-year on-line astrology course for beginners.

Many of my graduates have gone on to practice astrology professionally.

Module 2: The Planets (8 classes), completed.
Module 3: The Houses (5 classes), completed.
Module 4: Planet Dispositions, Receptions and Aspects (6 classes), completed.
Module 5: Interpretation and Synthesis (5 classes), completed.

This course is open to new students joining at the beginning of any module or before its 2nd week. Payment is per module, with a discount for the full year’s payment. See here for more information about the course and to make your booking.
Introduction to Horary Astrology workshop series
A series of six 2-hour on-line workshops introducing you to the basics of horary. Fortnightly on Monday afternoons, 4-6pm NZ time, starting on the 8th July 2024. Cost NZ$330. See below for information about my regular forum for the sharing of horaries. This course is an ideal preparation for a full course in horary such as the STA’s certificate course.
All levels
Horary forum - online
A monthly forum focusing on Horary Astrology - the art of answering specific questions with astrology. These sessions provide an opportunity for us to explore horary charts, from attendees and from my practice. Taking place on on-line, these are open to all, including those new to horary. Taking place mostly on the third Wednesday evening of the month throughout 2024 (7-9pm NZ local time), the next forum will be on 20th November 2024. Cost NZ$25/session. More information is on the listing on my Events page. Email me to register your interest and the Zoom link.

Supervision
Group supervision for practising astrologers and advanced students starting to see clients. See my Supervision page for more information on this. I will be starting a cycle of five 2-hour supervisions for 6 people, monthly on the first Friday of the month. The first class starts on the 2nd August 2024. More information and booking link is here.
Private supervision (one-to-one) is also available - email me about this.
Chart Calculation
Learn to calculate and draw up a horoscope all by yourself over two 3-hour on-line workshops. You will learn to use the ephemerides, house cusp and planetary tables, and do many of the calculations, before drawing up a clear and beautiful chart. In pre-computer times this was an essential skill for all astrologers, now a craft sadly being lost - and to the detriment of our astrology. This course is open to all - beginners and seasoned astrologers. It’s taught over a weekend, 9-12am, over Saturday 16th and Sunday 17th November 2024. The cost is NZ$200. Get in touch if you’re interested.
