W111A Advanced Predictive Techniques (Winter 21-22)

Course description: East meets West and Traditional meets Modern with an introduction to many of the movement traditions currently used in astrology.

Students will move beyond the basics covered in W110 (transits, directions, and progressions). W111A introduces the solar return, midpoints, and the 90-degree dial to unfold the promise of the natal chart, as well as using movement in a larger context in electing a good time for an event and seeing the world with mundane predictive techniques like the Aries ingress and the synodic cycles of outer planets. 

W111A continues the examination of the development of modern Western interpretive movement methods based upon planetary cycles, natural phenomena, and symbolic interpretive tools from the 16th to the 21st centuries.
