Welcome to the Astro Logos 
Spring School 2008:
Aspects Of Your Chart.

 
If you wish to be on our early notice list for future schools then click here.
 

The Astro Logos Spring School will be held  over six consecutive weeks in March and April, 2008. This unique intense learning experience is a place where you can deepen and sharpen your astrology through tutor-directed study and lectures combined with on-line interaction, enabling you to connect with other like-minded students who are all exploring this deeper approach to charts.

Reading books can help and listening to lectures can be useful. But the only way to learn astrology is by working closely with an experienced professional tutor... and that is what this Spring School offers you.

Our goal is to inspire students through a programme of intensive learning and teaching excellence, while creating an exciting yet supportive environment in which to experience astrology.

By the end of the spring of 2008 (or autumn if you are in the southern hemisphere) you should be able to confidently and professionally know how to delineate an aspect in a horoscope.

So if you are interested in doing something for yourself this spring, read on and find out about this exciting innovation.

 
Course emphasis and content

Have you ever wondered about the full implications of that Venus-Saturn opposition in your chart? Has it puzzled you that you and your friend both have a Moon-Pluto conjunction but they have both expressed themselves so differently? How exactly is that T-square working for you? This year's Spring School will focus on aspects of your chart (or the chart of your friend or client) by engaging with the following:


Reading aspects at a deeper level - How to understand and talk about an aspect to clients or friends in an informed manner, and what it means to have two planets or luminaries joined together by an aspect with each planet in a different house and sign. 


How this aspect may express itself from worst-case scenario to best-case scenario from birth or shortly afterwards, through childhood, adolescence, young adulthood and into present time.


How your history shapes the expression of the natal aspect.



How you can best use this information immediately for yourself to steer the ship of your life in a more meaningful manner rather than drifting around, uncertain of your own life needs.

You receive tuition through online, real time tutorials, as well as audio lectures sent to you as MP3 files, plus extensive handouts which includes the Astro Logos Delineation Workbook (164 pages). You are also given extensive feedback on your developing skills of delineating the aspects in a chart.  

Who is able to enrol in the Spring School?

The Spring School is designed for those students with some basics of astrological education - knowledge of houses, signs, planets (please see the following point for exact details) - but who are seeking a great depth to their work. You must also be at least twenty three years of age.

However, if you have enrolled and find that you do not have the appropriate knowledge, you are still welcome to receive the assignments and to read what other students are writing and the feedback given as a way of helping you to broaden your astrological understanding. 

What astrological knowledge do I need to have before I enrol in the Spring School?

In order to gain the most from this form of tuition, we require students to know the following:

* Basic meanings of the planets and luminaries.
* Basic meanings of the house and what it means to have a planet/luminary in a natal house.
* The meanings of house rulerships - what it means to have a planet/luminary in a natal house but ruling another house (or having its ruling sign intercepted within another house).
* The meanings of interceptions.
* Essential dignities - what it means to have a planet in rulership or exaltation (as well their opposite, in detriment or fall).
* The basic meanings of aspects

Please note that we assume that students are familiar with the techniques we teach in the two Studyshop “The Zodiac” and “The Angles” and the “Planets and Aspects Kit”. If you are not familiar with these you can explore them and/or purchase them by clicking here.

Size of class
Please note that course size is limited to fifteen participants to allow the tutor to offer input and support to each student in a one-to-one manner. We therefore encourage early application to ensure your place on this course.

Language - what level of English do I need to join the Spring School?
All teaching for the Spring School is in English. Applicants must satisfy themselves and the organisers of the Spring School that their English is of a standard high enough for them to be able to understand and follow arguments written and presented in fluent English.

Where do I go? You study in the comfort of your own home and connect with the tutor, Darrelyn Gunzburg (co-principal of Astro Logos, author of Life After Grief: An Astrological Guide to Dealing with Loss and author of the Studyshops,  Delineation: Unfolding the story Within a Chart, and The Horoscope's Angles) through online, real-time tutorials and by email list discussion for the exclusive use of the Spring School students. We choose tutorial times carefully so that our classes fit into your daily life - no matter what time zone you are in - as we have students form all over the world meeting in the virtual classroom.

What equipment do I need? 
1. You need a computer that can play a CD so you can listen to the lectures (please note the lectures are MP3 format and will not play in a CD player or your car sound system but will play in an iPod).
2. You also need to be able to send and receive simple text-only emails - from any location at any time - so you can participate fully in our classes.
3. For the online tutorials you will need a headset and a webcam - the webcam is optional but it they are inexpensive and enable everyone to see each other.
4. We will send you a link from which you download the software, at no charge to you, which will enable you to participate in the online tutorials.

How does it work?
The Spring School is primarily an ongoing, intensive workshop.


Once a Week Meetings
One a week you will meet in the Astro Logos virtual classroom for an hour and a half of teaching. You will then be set a short assignment which you send in by email for marking. You also have back-up lecture and study material on CD.

Email Group List
When you register for a class, you are given an address for the class list, exactly like an email address, except that all mail sent to that address is automatically forwarded to the tutor and all the other students in the class.
This means that the tutor and all of the students in the class see all of the completed assignments. Darrelyn will then comment on and offer feedback to each of you on how well the components of the aspect have been understood and the effectiveness and impact this would have on the client. This feedback is accessible to all students so all students are able to learn from each other and can ask questions about their own as well as other student’s work.

Students very quickly feel part of the "class". Often a sense of community forms and communication between students goes on long after the school itself has ended. We encourage class members to develop ongoing correspondence in which you can share your astrological thinking. Many long-term friendships have been formed from intensives like these.

Class discussions about lessons, assignments, and writing in general also take place on the email list. The more interaction among students, the more valuable and enjoyable the class. We encourage students to keep dialogue supportive and beneficial.

Can I continue on studying with Astro Logos like this? This is a stand-alone course for those who wish to step forward with their basic astrology and learn to read simple aspects in a chart. However, for those who would like to study for course accreditation with Astro Logos and continue on to reading  and interpreting whole charts, we offer students the option of enrolling in the next module which is the Interim Level of Delineation On-line School.
