Synthesis 101 course was synthesizing!

I've been doing self-study in astrology for at least 4 consecutive years now. For some of those years I studied with two astrology teachers––but nothing has been as synthesizing, thorough, and clear as the classes that are offered at Astrology University. The thing about being an autodidact in Astrology is that the paths are limitless––and often it's hard when you start out to discern what's what––it's partly the beauty and beast of so much unregulated content on the internet. AstroU helps to highlight a path forward with a multivalent approach from vetted Astro-experts. At the same time, I have found every course that I've taken encouraging of the student's individual instincts. It's the perfect blend of teaching/exposure without being didactic and an active cultivation/nurturance of a student's confidence in their own practice. It's a beautiful thing. Even though I've already been synthesizing the planets, signs, and houses in my own studies––I still learned SO much from taking this Synthesis 101 course. It helped to ground me in what I already knew, and also provided me with additional techniques to refine my own astrological practice. At some point, I would love to invest in the entire 3-4 year certification path because I already know from the few courses I've taken that AstroU offers high-quality courses with lots of built-in supports for its students.

Well Organized, Well Taught, and Absolutely Amazing

Although only 4 weeks, this course really helped me to form a deeper understanding of how to blend the planets, signs, and houses. All of the teachers were incredibly accessible and had a genuine interest in making sure that we understood the material. Thanks so much!

Incredible class

I've been formally studying astrology for about 2 years and informally for about 15. This class really put a flow to the information and helped bridge the gap between understanding what a planet needs, how it meets those needs and which area of life they are being met. Incredible lectures and great readings to help connect the dots. Such a great class!

Wonderful teaching environment

Having a variety of teachers was fantastic! So interesting to get a range of foci from Jungian to Evolutionary and see the level of sophistication in teaching and examples. Loved the class—Thank you Tony!

Planet in a Sign in a House

This class gave us a good amount of practice in differentiating a planet, sign, and house and placing a planet in a sign in a house. Excellent instruction! My only advice is to order the book weeks prior to the class.
