TRADITIONAL ASTROLOGY

Why Study Horary Astrology?

Once upon a time, when someone wanted to study astrology, horary was the first he/she was instructed in by an experienced teacher. It was considered a necessary first step, before one approaches the field of natal astrology. Today, when our craft has been changed almost beyond recognition, those few that get interested in horary consider its study an exotic excursion into the "traditional branch". However, it would be much closer to the truth to regard it as the study of the basics. It is my firm belief that solid horary knowledge dramatically improves ones skills in natal and mundane work.

Horary astrology is, also, the most practical tool astrologer has for his/her work with clients. Its aim is to give concrete answers to the acute questions that clients have on their mind at the time they contact astrologer.

Course Duration and Manner of Work

1. Short written explanation of the main concepts
2. Homework

Homework consists of two parts. During the first 8 lessons, you are invited to do a certain amount of required reading before attempting to answer some questions related to the subject at hand. In the second part of the course, when we will be focusing on practical work, your homework will consist of chart judgements. Expect approximately half a dozen of horary charts per lesson - some of them will be assigned, and some of them you will have to provide from your own practice.

Every homework of yours will be commented upon, and if additional work is needed, you will receive neccessary guidance.

There are no deadlines for homework submissions, but 2 years period is considered the absolute maximum time span in which you are expected to complete the whole course.

You are invited to ask questions and seek additional explanations regarding the course material at any time.

The course finishes with the exam. That is when you are expected to demonstrate the level of acquired horary skills by making certain number of horary predictions before the event.

Also, you will be expected to have a certain number of books that are considered required reading. They are as follows:
