Fees information
This diploma will enable you
to deepen and expand your current astrological skills.
Medieval astrology unlike the
traditional astrology of William Lilly lends itself to the modern
astrologer's tool kit as it is a tapestry of techniques and philosophy.
When these are married to your more modern psychologically oriented
astrology it produces an insightful, compassionate and rich astrology.

Questions like:
What is the nature of the person's God? What is their life and soul
journey? All lie within the astrological practice and thinking of the 13th
and 14th century. |
On-Line Tutorials

month on-line seminar with Bernadette Brady. Follow

Who can enrol?
The course is open to all astrologers who have a
basic, standard astrological background, achieved after the first two years of
study, for this course is designed to be an overlay to your already-solid basis
of either psychological or traditional astrology and to be a gateway for astrologers into
the enthralling workings of Medieval Astrology.
Since student's come under the personal tuition of Bernadette Brady, you will
need to apply via the Requests for Admission
on-line form. Bernadette will wish to know your astrological background.
Generally there is no pre-enrolment assessment for this diploma however
depending on your background if you do not hold any astrological qualifications
you may be required to complete a assessment - here is an
example of this paper.
