The Luminaries – Sun & Moon
with Lynn Bell, Safron Rossi, and Tony Howard
Course Description
This is course five in our four-year training program. You do not have to be enrolled in the program to take this course.
In this course we will look at two of the most important astrological symbols in the natal chart: the Sun and Moon. Also called the “luminaries,” these key planets relate to the organizing principle of our psyche and our childhood conditioning. Understanding these key symbols is crucial to understanding life themes in the birth chart.
- Week 1: The Sun’s meaning and context with Lynn Bell; The Call of the Sun and the Hero’s Journey with Safron Rossi
- Week 2: The Sun through the signs with Tony Howard
- Week 3: The Moon’s meaning and context with Lynn Bell; The Moon and Symbols of the Great Mother Goddess with Safron Rossi
- Week 4: The Moon through the signs with Tony Howard; Sun, Moon and Ascendant with Karen Hamaker-Zondag
Join us as we reach beyond basic Sun sign descriptions to explore the Sun as an expression of each person’s hero’s journey, and the Moon as the foundation of our needs, emotional self and conditioned habitual responses.
