Foundation Classes
The London School of Astrology offers a foundation class for beginners
in central London from 9 October 2007 on Tuesday
evenings. Those who have some experience with the basics may
be able to join in Term Two, which begins on 22 January. Please
contact the office on 07002 33 44 55 if you need further information.
Those with more experience may be interested
in our Diploma course which will be held on Saturdays from 13
October.
Our Foundation Course is divided into three terms with Term One
and Term Two together creating a thorough introduction to astrology
in a self-contained course. In Term Three students get to consolidate
their interpretational skills and are introduced to Forecasting
techniques.
Students can choose to enrol on a term by term basis, should they
choose. No previous knowledge or special skills are needed and all
are welcome. (Students enrolling initially on Term Two or Three
will be assumed to be familiar with material already covered in
previous terms). On enrolment, students receive a copy of their
own birth-chart and during the weekly sessions will also receive
various texts and handouts to support their studies.
A simple, step-by-step approach will be employed throughout:
Term One
In the first term you will be guided through some of the major
components of the horoscope - the Planets, Elements and Signs.
Tuesdays from 9 October 2007 to 11 December
2007 inclusive (ten weeks).
Term Two
You will be introduced to the angles and houses of the horoscope,
rulerships, retrogradation, aspects, aspect patterns, chart shapings,
the Sun-Moon cycle, nodes, eclipses and basic astronomy. By the
end of this term, you will understand something of your own horoscope
and that of others.
Whilst the emphasis will be on interpretation, you will also learn
how to calculate and draw up a birth-chart for anywhere in the world,
and be introduced to the basic astronomy of the horoscope.
Given that many astrologers nowadays use computers, you will also
have opportunity to discover the software available. Our aim is
that you will have a firm foundation of astrological principles
upon which to build further understanding.
Tuesdays from 22 January 2008 to 25 March
2008 inclusive (ten weeks).
Term Three
In the third term, as well as gaining confidence in and having
fun with interpretation, you will learn to spot themes in horoscopes,
look at case studies and celebrity charts, and be introduced to
synastry (relationship astrology) and forecasting.
Tuesdays from 29 April 2008 to 1 July
2008 inclusive (ten weeks).
Time of classes: 7 - 9.30pm
The bulk of classes will be taught by senior tutors Frank Clifford,
Sue Tompkins and Kim Farley.
FEES (including all books, materials and handouts): Payable in
advance - £210 for one term or £400 for two terms or
