This course consists of 6 Modules, outlined below, that meander through the ancient art and language of Hellenistic Astrology. 

Each session will last 90-120 minutes. Fall 2026 cohort will meet in person at The Reiki School in Lambertville, NJ. 

We will explore Hellenistic astrological symbols, techniques and interpretations. The course will place a heavy emphasis on purpose, soul summons and holding paradox.

This course is not an instructional lesson on the long history of astrology (although we will cover it briefly in Module 1). This course is also not a cut and dry explanation of how to use advanced techniques.

My certifications include two yearlong courses at the esteemed Nightlight Astrology School with Adam Elenbaas and an additional year working as a teaching assistant at Nightlight guiding over 1000 students.

The sum of my studies, research, teaching and client work has prepared me for this course.
