Learn the Hellenistic approach to natal chart reading. Demetra introduces the concept of “planetary condition” as practiced by ancient astrologers. You’ll learn the first steps towards making a judgment about a planet’s relative ease or difficulty in expressing its significations. Includes the first set of tools including: sect, traditional planetary rulership, the use of whole sign houses, solar phase, intro to aspect configurations, and making a judgment. This course prepares students to pursue further studies to learn a more complete set of Hellenistic techniques for evaluating planetary condition, either through self study or advanced courses with Demetra.

This course counts for credit in our diploma program.Â
Note: This Intro Course is a version geared towards our diploma program students in order to introduce them to Hellenistic teachings. It contains edited versions of Demetra’s Hellenstic Astrology Primer course videos, so there is exact material overlap. The differences are that the program course comes with Q&A sessions annually with each new cohort. This course also includes a bonus interview with Demetra which provides students in the four-year program with more understanding as to how they can use this material in modern practice, and in the context of our Diploma Program courses.
If you are only interested in learning Hellenistic astrology with Demetra, and you are not interested our other Diploma Program courses, our recommendation is to register for the Hellenistic Primer course instead. The Primer course includes additional technique material and is aimed at students who want to study Hellenistic astrology specifically through Demetra’s teaching and texts. The Primer course is followed by the Advanced Hellenstic Planetary Condition course.
