description:
A 101 course on astrology including: a history of astrology, how astrological meanings are generated, interpreting planets in signs, houses and relocation, aspects and shapes, the moving planets, and fixed stars and critical points. This astrology course responds to the huge body of work white astrologers have produced by describing the zodiac as the western matrix of control and the interpretation of a person's chart as that individual's participation and resistance in said matrix. The purpose of this workshop is to use astrological methods of telling time to innovate story telling.
The seven week course will include the following topics:
History of Astrology: Appropriation, and Reflection
Intergenerational Trauma and how Meaning is Formed
Planets in Signs: People in Places
Houses and Relocation: Themes of Immigration
Formation: Aspects, Shapes, Relationships, and Community
Fixed Stars and Recurring Themes
The Moving Sky: Change and Development
Putting it all Together: What's Your Story?
***Space is very limited. Register in advance to reserve your space!***
