- **Event Name**: Astro 101: Decode Your Cosmic DNA
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 22 Mar, 2026 at 01:30 pm – Sun, 22 Mar, 2026 at 03:30 pm (-05:00)
- **Event Description**: Perfect for the beginner, this course series teaches the fundamentals: the history of astrology, basic astronomy &amp; the natural wheel—covering hemispheres, quadrants, qualities (yin &amp; yang), modalities/modes (cardinal, fixed, mutable), elements (fire, earth, air, water), &amp; the foundational archetypes alongside their shadows (10 planets, 12 signs, 12 houses). I teach from a karmic/evolutionary perspective. Most important of all, I am a therapy-&amp;-trauma-informed astrologer. For this reason, the objective is to explore both the exterior &amp; conscious, as well as the interior &amp; subconscious, dimensions of these symbols.

Free from the constraints of formal exams &amp; a static syllabus, this course merges theory &amp; practice in a creative, interactive way, working hands-on with fellow classmates’ charts &amp; examples from the big wide world. My goal is, &amp; always will be, to cultivate a supportive community where you feel invited to discover &amp; share who you are in your learning journey, with all your messy &amp; perfect parts.

This is about chart interpretation, but also about having a safe space (thanks to the generous souls of Duncan Manor) to open up, understand, &amp; evolve. Students often describe my approach as uplifting &amp; upbeat, with a delicate kind of serious &amp; real mixed in. My method is personal, meaningful, &amp; visceral.

Astrology can be approached as the art &amp; science of applied imagination. It has boundless capacity to enrich &amp; illuminate our sense of Being, belonging, &amp; connectedness to all things. I therefore make its ancient yet timeless knowledge accessible, so my students nurture their own relationship to concepts. I recognize astrology as the rich &amp; varied, dare I say complex, tradition that it is, &amp; it is because of this that I offer experience-based guidance through the maze of different techniques &amp; ideas, to emphasize its deeply psychological wisdom &amp; wildly practical relevance to everyday life. Learn how to decode your cosmic DNA, &amp; you’ll find yourself experiencing profound inner growth while witnessing others do the same.

Each course has an intelligence of its own, each building off the last, &amp; it is an honor to lead you in your every lesson. 

 ——————

This course is for you if . . . 
✨ You're a beginner to astrology (seriously, you don’t even need to know what a birth chart is yet!).
✨ You’re an overachiever, or nerd (like me).
You're eager to take astrology beyond horoscopes &amp; to immerse yourself in, speak or expand on a whole new language.
✨ You're still structuring a unique approach to charts so that you can read them in a systemic way without feeling overwhelmed — or boxed in.
✨ You’d have fun sharing your experiences or just plain interest in the stars with likeminded people.
✨ You're seeking to understand yourself &amp; your relationships more deeply.
✨ You're curious about how to integrate astrology as an official aspect of self-study, creative work, or even professional practice.

This course is NOT for you if . . . 
💫 You’re already an astrology ninja—that more advanced course series is right around the corner. 😉
💫 You’d prefer 1:1 chart sessions. In that case, chat with Sam Rae about 1:1 tutoring options, or, book either a reading or package with her personally (OR, also through the app!).

 ——————

🍎 10 LIVE (+ 4 ONLINE Q&amp;A) WORKSHOPS
2-hr in-person lessons divided per foundational topic + 30min.-1hr. recorded Q&amp;A sessions via Zoom to revisit anything we didn’t cover, dive into concepts you’re especially curious about, or simply have fun talking astrology.

🎥 2 ONLINE &amp; RECORDED STUDENT CHART CASE STUDIES
Alongside the personalized, peer review mentorship each lesson delivers, over the course, you’ll also have 2 opportunities to partake in a recorded 1-hour online case study—either volunteering your own chart or joining fellow chart interpreters—to execute course-related knowledge &amp; skills (will announce which topic we'll be exploring &amp; when as the pace, progression, &amp; participation of the course unfolds). Charts volunteered, for not just case studies but also if you're particularly interested in using your chart for upcoming lessons, must be submitted &amp; selected in advance to allow time for study &amp; preparation.

📑 WRITTEN &amp; VISUAL RESOURCES 
Starting with a tangible copy of your own individual chart to start studying &amp; practicing with come lesson 1, lifetime access to high-quality content—thoughtfully curated by Sam Rae or curated from respected scholars &amp; practitioners from the field—including printed &amp; digital handouts &amp; cheat sheets, articles &amp; book suggestions, fun quizzes &amp; surveys, &amp; many more educational &amp;/or self-growth materials. 

💞 COMMUNITY &amp; VIRTUAL ALLIES FOR LIFE — YOUR ASTRO TRIBE

I'm in the process of getting all of my materials together &amp; still finalizing a few details regarding the syllabus, additional community spaces &amp; student access, &amp; other class features as they're ready. Therefore, please continue to check back here periodically before January &amp; keep your eyes peeled to your inbox for important updates once you enroll &amp; begin to prepare (you'd receive such info from either me or Randi from Duncan Manor).
