The Inner Sky – Introduction to Evolutionary Astrology

This course can be taken self-paced or guided when taken in conjunction with the lab (FCEA-101B). It provides an introduction to the basics of evolutionary astrology. You will learn the core language and key concepts as described in the required course textbook, The Inner Sky. It will contain a mixture of  brief videos and narrative teaching components, as well as tests to gauge your familiarity with and/or grasp of the material covered. You will learn the concepts of planets, signs, houses and aspects. The course will expose you to the symbols used to represent these concepts and how to interpret them in the context of a person’s birthchart. As your proficiency increases, you’ll assemble these into sentences, paragraphs and ultimately a story about the individual whose chart you are interpreting.

“The Sky Speaks…Learn How to Listen“

The focus in FCEA 101 is developing a fundamental understanding of a person’s psychological nature as reflected in the birthchart. Next in FCEA 102, you will learn how to add the metaphysical, reincarnational perspectives which make evolutionary astrology different from other forms of astrology. That will be achieved by adding two more symbols to your vocabulary, the north and south nodes of the Moon.The final course in the 100 series is FCEA 103, a practicum where you will be doing actual chart interpretations.
 
The course materials are organized into cohesive modules. Each module may contain reading assignments, videos, PDF handouts and self-directed exercises. The course will complete with the assignment of a final exam. Completion of the self-directed exercises and passing the final exam is required for anyone seeking certification.

Yesterday’s Sky – Nodal Analysis, Astrology and Reincarnation

This course can be taken self-paced or guided when taken in conjunction with the lab (FCEA-102B). It will teach the techniques for detecting the fingerprints of unresolved issues from prior lifetimes, as presented in the birthchart. This is “the chart behind the chart.” You will learn how to decode it, and determine the remedy for the dilemmas it represents. This is the heart of evolutionary astrology.

“Understand the Chart Behind the Chart“

In FCEA 101, you learned how to understand a person’s psychological makeup. Here you will learn to see why he or she is that way today, facing challenges and possibilities. As these two perspectives come together, we encounter the full analytical power of this system of human understanding.

You will learn nodal analysis, the Steven Forrest Method, the fundamental methods and techniques needed to add an evolutionary astrological perspective, through the Moon’s north and south nodes. You will learn the basic astronomy used to determine the lunar nodes location. Then applying the techniques already learned, interpreting nodes by sign and house placement, refining this through their planetary rulers, and planetary aspects, you will create a nodal story.

As your understanding deepens, you will develop concepts and practices to better reveal the wounds a person carries in this lifetime. You’ll be able to offer possible roads for addressing them. This is the heart of evolutionary astrological counseling. 

The course materials are organized into cohesive modules. Each module may contain reading assignments, videos, PDF handouts and self-directed exercises. The course will complete with the assignment of a final exam. Completion of the self-directed exercises and final exam is required for anyone seeking certification.
