Initiation into Archetypal Astrology

Description

Initiation into Archetypal Astrology

The Initiation Seminar in Archetypal Astrology is an encounter with a truly ancient Science that is still current and modern, one that has always guided humankind on its journey on Earth: the Sun, the Moon, the Stars and the Planets have been observed, studied, prayed to and worshipped as deities, and associated with the archetypal qualities of the Human Being and of Life itself, in order to understand ever more clearly the meaning and direction of our choices.

We can ask Heaven and the Divine the many questions that life, with its doubts, crossroads, choices and possibilities, sets before us: the answers can also come from looking within, and thanks to the remarkable tool of the Birth Chart, we can find a faithful mirror of our inner archetypal structure.

The Birth Chart (made up of Planets, Signs, Houses and Aspects) gives us access to the transpersonal and transgenerational dimensions of human existence: it is humanity's oldest symbolic language, and it allows those who know how to understand it to draw fundamental insights for knowing themselves better, their talents and potential, the blocks hidden in the unconscious, and their life as the Soul's evolutionary path towards the Higher Self.

In this Initiation Seminar in Archetypal Astrology we will take a full immersion in the language of astrology, analysing the major groups of astrological symbols and their correlation with the Archetypes of the Hero's Journey:

THE ASTROLOGICAL HOUSES

THE PLANETS

THE ZODIAC SIGNS

THE ASPECTS

The theory is accompanied by practical work in self-analysis and in reading your own Birth Chart. As an introduction to astrological counselling, at the discretion of the teacher and the participants, it is possible to share and explore any personal themes that may have emerged in the group.

This seminar is one of the teachings included in the First Year of training on the academic path leading to the title of Archetypal Astrologer.

Who it is for

The Initiation Seminar in Archetypal Astrology allows anyone who is interested to come into contact with the language of Astrology, with its symbols and the deep meanings behind the Planets, the Signs, the Houses and the Birth Chart in general. Particular emphasis is placed on the Archetypal interpretation of astrological symbols, based on the 12 Archetypes of the Hero's Journey.

The study of Archetypal Astrology is first of all a path of self-analysis, of studying your own Birth Chart and of understanding first-hand the inner processes represented by Planets, Signs, Houses, Archetypes and Aspects. Any further training on the academic path involves deeper study and practice to become Holistic Practitioners and Counsellors with an Astrological focus, and so to pass on to others the knowledge received and their own direct experience of this great tool for growth and awareness.

The Course is therefore for:
- those who are seeking to understand the meaning of their life and their direction of growth, following the trail set by the Heavens;
- those who wish to deepen their knowledge of the link between Matter and Spirit, between Body and Soul, between the Planets and the Stars in the astronomical sense and their archetypal meaning and power;
- "beginners" who wish to learn the fundamental notions of Astrology;
- astrology "experts" interested in exploring the correlation between Planets, Signs and astrological Houses and the 12 Archetypes of the Hero's Journey;
- all those interested in learning the basic tools for interpreting a Birth Chart;
- students of the Accademia di Arti Olistiche of La Città della Luce;
- Holistic Practitioners and Counsellors.

Aims

The Initiation Seminar in Archetypal Astrology is intended as a first step in exploring and studying the age-old science of Astrology, an answer for those who feel the "call" to deepen, through this study, their knowledge of the great forces that govern Life and the Universe, from the particular Human sphere to the most universal and infinite Divine sphere.

The main aims of the seminar are therefore:

knowledge of the astrological symbols (Planets, Signs, Houses);
understanding the Birth Chart;
initiation into the archetypal concepts of the Hero's Journey;
self-analysis of your own Birth Chart;
a heightened awareness of your Self;
practice in astrological interpretation;
the start of the training path to become an Archetypal Astrologer;
finding a state of harmony, serenity and fulfilment with yourself and your life.

Since ancient times, human beings have observed the sky to find their way in the world. Archetypal Astrology is born from this same search, but it also turns its gaze inwards. The Birth Chart does not tell of a destiny already written: it is a symbolic map that describes the energies, talents, challenges and potential that accompany each person along their path.
