INTRODUCTION TO THE FUNDAMENTALS OF ASTROLOGY
Six Weeks on the 1st and 3rd Mondays starting on September 20th through December 6th, 2021 at 7 p.m.
This six-week class will focus on the fundamentals of astrology using the book “The Essential Guide to Practical Astrology” by April Elliott Kent. The first class will begin September 20th and will meet the first and third Monday of the month through December 6th from 7:00 -9:00 p.m. at Sacred Waters. Judith Robert, Carol Lloyd, and Jamila Blue will be our teachers during this series.
Astrology, like all symbolic systems, is a means to imagine the world around us and within ourselves. The ancient saying attributed to Hermes Tresmegistus, “As above, so below; as within, so without,” conveyed the idea that the movements of Sun, Moon and planets in the heavens mirrored events on earth and developments within the individual psyche.
Reflection upon the astrological birth chart, defined by the relationship of the planetary bodies and the Sun and Moon at birth, provides understanding of both our talents and our struggles, our aspirations and our fears, and gives meaning to our life story. While the patterns of our behavior and relationships seem to repeat themselves over time, with conscious reflection, we are capable of seeing the larger pattern of our life and making changes necessary to our individuation.
No previous knowledge of astrology is required. Students of all levels of astrology are welcome to drop into individual classes for the regular suggested donation of $20. Beginners are strongly encourage to register for all six classes by 9/8 and receive a discount on the class fee. Early bird registration for full course by September 8th $90 / $120 thereafter. To register or for questions please email: Judith Robert at [email protected] Location: Sacred Waters 16990 Douglas Road, Mishawaka, IN 46545

Biographies:
Jamila Blue has been working with astrology her entire life. Her mother was an astrologer before she was born and exposed her to the basic concepts of astrology from an early age. This has allowed for a more intuitive approach in her chart readings. Over the past couple years Jamila has decided to get back to the basics and began a course in Hellenistic Astrology. With so many approaches to astrology, this has helped her decipher the ancient principles of chart interpretation. She is now rebuilding her foundation from the ground up as she integrates these ancient teachings in her consultations. [email protected]
Carol Lloyd has been an astrologist since 1988 and has taught classes since 1992. Carol has studied various astrological systems, including Medieval, Western, Vedic, Babylonian, Cosmobiology, and Chinese Four Pillars. Horary astrology is one of her specialties as she enjoys using astrology to get answers to life's many questions. [email protected]
Judith Robert received her diploma from Liz Greene’s Centre for Psychological Astrology in London, in 2011, her Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology from Northwestern University in Evanston in 1984 and her diploma from the Jung Institute in Chicago in 1995. She has a consulting practice in Psychological Astrology in South Bend, IN. [email protected]
