I will also have an Astrology for Beginners Course available at the beginning of October!
Herbs and Astrology Course
A three part course available now! Just click on the link above to find out more.
Part 1: Temperament: how to calculate it and use the method in practice with your clients. Herbs and the planets and signs.
Part 2: Decumbiture: The method of using astrology to diagnose and prescribe herbal medicine to treat body, emotions and soul.
Part 3: The practice: an opportunity to show your learning in a 1:1 session.
Those who did the courses previously will be sent a separate code individually.
The Course is in three parts, designed for practitioners and others to learn astrology to use in clinical practice. The aim of the course is show how Astrology can deepen and enrich your practice as a herbalist or other practitioner and to give you practical skills to use Astrology, both as Temperament and Decumbiture in your practice and then offer optional continuing supervision to build confidence and technique.
I have been using astrology in my practice for over 45 years and have found it invaluable to understand my clients, choose my remedies and adjust my practice from a symptom based to a holistic approach to healing body, mind, spirit and emotions.
I outline my practice in my book Traditional Western Herbal Medicine Aeon Books (1999)
Part One: We will cover:
Fire planets and signs, herbs, foods, activities, mindsets, emotions associated with them
Earth planets and signs etc.
Air planets and signs etc.
Water planets and signs etc.
Houses and aspects.
The Temperament putting it all together.
Part Two:
If you wish to join Part 2 you will need to know planets, signs and houses, aspects, and herbs of the various planets as studied in Part 1.
The Decumbiture method.
Decumbiture intro
Asking the question
The practitioner
Diagnosis physical, emotional, mental, spiritual
Practice: Decumbiture working with examples
Practice: Timing measures and questions.
Part Three
Part three is focused on the students showing their learning and application in practice of medical astrology as studied in the course.
On the first meeting I will outline the information I will be looking for in both presentations.
After this, students will present a decumbiture and a Temperament chart showing your practice and craft. This can be done privately 1:1 with me or in the form of a written report.
FAQs
So there is only one lesson in Part 3?
After lesson 1 you will book a 1 hour slot with me and we will go through your work, 2 charts, one temperament, one decumbiture.
What if I fail the assessment?
The online lesson will explain exactly what I am looking for. I hadn’t imagining anyone failing, as lots of people are beginners in astrology I am not expecting the impossible, just instead giving everyone the opportunity for a 1:1 with me talking about their two charts and how they would use them in their practice. In the 1:1 I will give feedback and we will chat about treatment protocols, herbs etc. I have included quite advanced astrology in the course, but I will not expect beginners to use or know this, the information needs to be there for completeness in the course. Overall, the idea is that students get a sense of how to work with the material in practice, so you can be as complex or uncomplicated in your chart analysis as you wish. To repeat- this is not an exam- this is supervision – if you would prefer to write out your charts and their analysis, you could do that and then we talk about what you have written. I added this part to the course as it is easy to study and then not use the material and to give students confidence, as usually we know more than we think we do, but don’t find this out until we are tested in some way-which is why in lessons there are short exercises to do. The supervision group will be open for people who have done part 3 as I said above, there won’t be failures.
After successful completion of the course there will an opportunity to join a monthly humoral supervision group.
What is the monthly humoral supervision group?
In the monthly humoral group each month 2 students will present charts, Decumbiture or Temperament and we will discuss them and look at treatment protocols.The aim is to show your learning and application in practice of medical astrology as studied in the course.
CPD: The course will give @ 25 hours CPD.
Course FAQs
How much study time is involved?
There won’t be much study time, students will be able to buy my book at a discount and then I will ask them to read the relevant chapter in the book. But this is optional.
I like charts for learning and so over the course you will fill in a couple of charts which give a quick reference guide to use what you have learnt.
Optionally, as we go along you can look at people you know and think about how what we studied fits in with what you know about them.
I am a practical person so I will keep theory to the minimum needed to work with astrology.
If you are practicing, it will be helpful to collect birth data from your clients and have that when we work out temperaments and treatment protocols and later decumbiture.
