Astro Logos' Courses
Chart Reading Introduction
This is our entry level course (click here for overview information).
Chart reading looks simple when it is done by a professional. But think about how you set about reading a chart – or even just an aspect? Do you plod from one planet to another, then wonder how the aspect fits in? Have you ever considered what it means to have a planet ruling a house? And what happens when you have ‘dilemmas’ in a chart – for example, a planet in rulership but in a cadent house? Where do you begin to make sense of it all? <More information>
Chart Reading - Practical
Chart Reading - Practical continues the focus on how you read aspects in a chart through hands-on practical sessions with Darrelyn Gunzburg. We begin to look at how patterns are formed from birth and what this means in adulthood. We continue to emphasise the necessity to keep complex issues simple, rather than simplistic, in order to better articulate the inherent intricacies. <More information>

Astro Logos Diploma of Astrology - Part 1 Natal Chart Reading
Chart reading looks simple when it is done by a
professional. However, reading a chart demands that you juggle many components until the pattern emerges. This commencement course in two parts is held
online on Saturdays and Sundays for 2-hours over consecutive weekends as both lectures and practical sessions. It is tailor-made to guide you through those first puzzling steps of delineation until you feel comfortable enough to do it yourself.
The 5-month Diploma Delineation Module that follows builds on the astrological education you have received through the two Astro Logos online schools. It continues the work you covered on simple aspects and teaches you how to link the parts of the chart together in order to read it as a totality. You are taught how to look for and define the themes and issues which make up the complete personality, how to assess the Achilles heel of the chart and, most importantly, how to lead a client to understand how to use what is fated in the chart with their free-will.
Part 2 - Predictive Astrology
The 5-month Predictive Astrology Module is
divided into two levels:
Level One teaches you the basics of Predictive Astrology, the way to think of Fate and Freewill, how to find and work with transits and how to read them. We educate you about Secondary Progressions, including the Secondary Progressed Lunation Cycle, and train you in how to link transits and Secondary Progressions together as a Time Map and to read them for a client. The main text you will be using is Predictive Astrology: The Eagle and the Lark by Bernadette Brady (York Beach: Samuel Weiser, 1998).
Level Two is designed to help you in the consulting room when dealing with a client's predictive work and covers Returns, Wyn Key Cycles, Eclipses, and Fidaria. It then
focuses on how to put this all together. This level of study builds on what has been learnt in Level One and explores the many ways that the future can be viewed for a client. You will discover what predictive techniques can best help your client.

Advanced Diploma of Astrology
Relationships: The astrology of partnerships
Lecturer: Darrelyn Gunzburg and Bernadette Brady M.A.
Tutor: Darrelyn Gunzburg
This 5 month Module is devoted to the astrology of relationships. The module starts with the ethics of working with more than one chart and continues by exploring the tools of Composite Charts and Synastry Grids. It then looks at how to delineate these charts and grids and how they can be linked together to give an informative reading for a couple. The module also covers Davison Charts and predictive work on a Composite Chart. <More information>
Astrology as a personal cosmology
Lecturer and Tutor: Bernadette Brady M.A and Darrelyn Gunzburg
This 5 month module considers the many ways that we map astrology to better understand the patterns in our lives. The module covers proactive predictive work, chaos and fate, astrology and space, astrographology, and the uses of enchantment in terms of visual astrology - steping into astrology rather than talking about astrology. <More information>

Post Graduate Diplomas
Fixed Star and Visual Astrology Diploma
The Fixed Star and Visual Astrology Diploma is an accrediting diploma designed to teach you how to work with the fixed stars and visual astrology using the original methods employed by astrologers before the days of Ptolemy. You will be taught how to weave these techniques with the natal chart to give a deeper understanding of planetary aspects and combinations. If you are a consulting astrologer this diploma will enhance and deepen your astrology and allow you to offer a unique astrological service to your clients.
The course consists of 3 semesters. Each semester lasts for 4-5 months and includes a once-a-month on-line seminar in fixed stars and visual astrology. Each Semester has 2 written assignments. <More information>
Diploma in Medieval Astrology
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. Unlike psychological astrology or modern astrology, in medieval astrology the cosmos is external to the individual and focused on the world around the individual. However, when combined with the internal cosmology of contemporary astrology, one gains a beautifully complete astrological tool of working with both the inner psyche of the individual as well as their outer world. This blend, like a fine wine, produces an insightful, compassionate and rich astrology.
The Diploma is taught over 4 semesters. Each semester is studied over a 4-month period. The first semester is focused on planets, signs, houses, aspecting and Medieval Aristotelian philosophy that underpins these techniques. The second and third semesters look at actual techniques, for example examining a chart for information on fame or success, money, profession, parents, family, soul and the client’s view of God and their spiritual pathway. The fourth semester is devoted to medieval astrological predictive techniques. Each semester has four written assignments plus an end of semester paper to be completed.<More information>

What are the prerequisites for enroling with Astro Logos?
The Chart Reading online intensive is open to all students who know the basic components of astrology.
The Diploma of Astrology is open to all those who have completed Chart Reading Parts One and Two, unless a case can be made to bypass this by completing a short written paper.
Either module of the Postgraduate Diplomas of Astrology is open to those who have a basic, standard astrological background, achieved after at least 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 either Visual Astrology and Fixed Stars or the world and practice of contemporary Medieval Astrology.
However, since all students come under the personal tuition of Bernadette Brady and Darrelyn Gunzburg for the Postgraduate Diploma of Astrology, you will need to be accepted as a student before you can enrol.
How do I apply to be accepted in an Astro Logos course?

5 Things to know about studying with Astro Logos
1. World class tutoring
All teaching is by Bernadette Brady and Darrelyn Gunzburg. You are not assigned to a committee of tutors.
2. Astro Logos has been teaching since 1990
We know how to guide you through the learning curves not only of required
techniques but also how to pour them into your astrology to enrich your work.
3. Small online tutorials – one-to-one teaching
You can develop a one-to-one mentorship relationship with Bernadette or
Darrelyn, enabling the teaching to be focused on your needs, as well as developing long-lasting connections with your fellow students.
4. We are serious about astrology.
Our courses are ‘slow food’ not ‘fast takeaway’. We do not believe that there is a quick and easy way to learn astrology. Hence our diplomas are structured to enable you to take the time needed to process the work.
5. Astro Logos graduates become practicing astrologers
From the moment you enrol with us we help you to take the steps we know you will need in order to see clients, write astrological articles, and speak at conferences. You will be required to send in written assignments. Furthermore we set up practical ‘consultations’ so you can polish your consulting technique.
