How to learn astrology?

The training season starts at the beginning of autumn! I encourage you to study astrology, and by the way, I have some advice for those who wish.

Tip 1. Be prepared that many of your ideas about astrology will be destroyed.

For example, the most important information is the sign under which someone was born. Yes, this is important, but the planets are more important than the signs of the zodiac, their distribution in the sky, which of them rise, which rise and at what angles they are located relative to each other.

Tip 2. Ask, ask, ask as much as you can!

Do not refuse a question out of politeness or modesty. When you listen to a lecture or read a text and contact the author of that text, immediately write down what you do not understand. Astrologers use a special language. Terms such as "lunation" or "biseptyl" will appear - for a moment you will remember what they meant, but soon you will not remember anymore ... A list of what you do not understand can be more valuable than a list with understood items.

Tip 3 Astrology is an experimental science.

It is not enough to memorize theory, you need to apply knowledge in practice. And the first reference field for practical research is yourself! The study of astrology has a lot to do with the study of your life. Do you ask yourself questions such as: what happened during a particular planetary system, such as when Jupiter passed through the natal environment of entire celestial bodies?

- And immediately you check, correlate with life events. (For example, you were sent to California for an internship at that time.) Or, conversely, you remember a strange event, such as meeting Mr. X, who interested you in enterprise Y, and this led to your current interests. You draw a horoscope, and it turns out that Uranus was then in your natal Sun. And so, step by step, you build a connection between horoscopes and specific events, between heaven and earth. This is your own code because it is built around your life.

Tip 4. To have research material with you, write your resume.

Make notes about what happened in your life year after year. Better in notepad than on disk. Have this notebook with you, read it, fill in the notes. As you study astrology, various events will begin to clear up. Keep a diary for the same purpose. Make notes about what happened to you every day. Even if nothing important happened. Sometimes the beginning of important events is very modest.

Tip 5. Astrology needs to be tested on many people. You must have your research stock.

To do this, ask a few friends what time they were born and draw their horoscopes. Better on paper than on a computer. Keep these horoscopes handy and compare them with systematically acquired theoretical knowledge. Suddenly, you start to learn more about your friends. You will learn, for example, why someone hides guinea pigs. Because he has the moon in Taurus!

Tip 6. Remember that we like what we see.

And what the eyes do not see, the heart does not regret. Pay attention to what your astrology program uses in horoscopes. If you look at Chiron, drawn by him in every horoscope, and you don't have Lilith, for example, you start to reflexively think that Chiron is super important and that Lilith can probably be omitted. Try using charts other than yours. That is why I recommend that my students draw horoscopes by hand (not on a computer) from time to time and in their own way.
