This seven-part course is available online through a private course site that each student gains access to upon registering, and the core lessons are presented through series of pre-recorded video lectures.

Synopsis of Each Part of the Course

The course is divided into seven parts, and the main focus of each part is a two to three hour lecture which presents the main concepts for that section of the course.

Part 1: The History and Philosophy of Electional Astrology

The course begins with a discussion of the history and philosophy of electional astrology, in order to provide some context for the practice of the subject. Topics discussed include: the different branches of astrology, the historical development of western astrology, philosophical issues related to electional astrology such as fate versus free-will, and more.

Part 2: Prerequisite Concepts and Techniques
