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 towards our diploma program. Please note: This Intro Course is a version geared towards our diploma program students in order to introduce them to Hellenistic teachings. It will contain edited versions of the Primer videos, so there will be exact material overlap. The differences are that the program course will have 4 new live Q&A sessions with each new cohort, and there is also 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 the other program courses.
