How and Why? Understanding the History of Astrology

$175.00

This is a full 5 hour course on the history of Astrology. Plain text format. No frills.

“This course is designed as a single, continuous journey through the history of sky-reading—yet every chapter stands as a complete, teachable lesson on its own. Taken end-to-end, the sequence traces how different cultures made the heavens intelligible and useful, from omen archives and zodiacal geometry to calendars, tables, compasses, and community rites. Dipped into individually, each chapter provides its own sources, definitions, and a reproducible procedure you can run in class the same day. In both modes, the goal is the same: to replace vague mystique with clear method and traceable lineage.”

Explore 12 different eras and disciplines of astrology and sky-reading. Included are exercises, examples, and working problems and scenarios to learn and hone your understanding of each discipline.

With care to make sure the sources are authored from those that are of the culture or tradition, you will get an authentic, ethical education.

“Geometry travels; seasons are local.”

“You have now watched Classic courts choreograph births, accessions, and wars with calendars as statecraft; you have seen the Postclassic shift to manualized arithmetic and omen tables; you have followed the counts into colonial houses and syncretic chapels; and you hold a teaching stack that reproduces Maya judgments without importing foreign grammars.”

May the counts you keep be true, may your witnesses be wise, and may your choices land on days that open like gates.
