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.
