It is your fate to face certain questions and possibilities in this lifetime

A TRADE SCHOOL THAT NURTURES THE HUMAN SOUL

With evolutionary astrology on your side, life quickly becomes more rewarding and meaningful.

The purpose of the Forrest Center for Evolutionary Astrology is to teach you mastery of this sacred craft. We will hold your hand, step by step, as you learn. Whether you are a newcomer or an aspiring professional, you are welcome here. We can start from zero and take you all the way to proficiency. While we aim to empower our students to serve their communities as professional astrologers, if you are simply seeking personal growth, you can join the FCEA family, and just take what you want and leave the rest.

FCEA 100 Series
