There are no prerequisites in terms of astrological knowledge, or experience.

This course does require:

• The willingness to engage with your inner growth process.

• A basic knowledge of English is required, as translation into other languages is not yet available.

• Consistent access to high speed internet is also needed, as we will be using both speakers and a camera for the class.

• Reading assignments will be suggested on a week-to-week basis. 

• You are encouraged to keep an ongoing journal to help you make deeper connections between your natal chart and the material discussed in class. Questions will be suggested in each class to support you in this process. You will not be required to share the journal.

• There will be a brief quiz at the end of each section. Replies will be via your teaching platform and will be shared with other students for your mutual learning. Margaret and Carole will give you feedback on your replies.

• There will be a final longer and more detailed quiz at the end of the course, which aims to help attendees to put their learning into practice.

• Attendees will be encouraged to share their birth chart in class throughout the course. 

NOTE: The above assignments are only a requirement for attendees who wish to receive the certificate of completion. There are no requirements for anyone attending the course for their own pleasure and learning.

None of the assignments are in any way competitive. We aim to foster a supportive and creative adult learning environment, where we all learn from each other’s life experience.

You are always very welcome to contact us if you are struggling with any of the material and we will do our best to support you in any way you feel might be helpful to you.
