What Will You Learn?

The Astrology Diploma Course is designed for anyone who wants to learn astrology online, from aspects to planetary placements. Featuring 16 modules, you'll learn at your own pace to gain a deeper understanding of astrology and how the planets influence our lives.

You’ll start with the foundations, like the history of astrology and the movement of astrology from science to superstition and back again, as well as how it continues to grow as a respected tool for self-awareness and personal growth. You’ll also learn how to calculate horoscopes and charts, and begin interpreting the celestial patterns that shape human experience.

Build a Clear Understanding of the Basics

The Astrology Diploma Course helps you understand how astrology works by exploring:

The four elements and three modes
How signs, planets, and houses fit together
What each Zodiac sign says about your personality, energy, soul, and purpose

Confidently Read Birth Charts

The course guides you through how to accurately read birth charts, looking at planetary placements and what they reveal. You’ll start seeing how planetary energies interact in real life and how to apply this to yourself and others.

You'll also learn how the sun, moon, rising sign, and lunar nodes give additional insight to the chart, contribiting to people's past, present and future.

Explore the Houses: A Map of Life

The twelve astrological houses form the structure behind every birth chart and show where planetary energies are playing out in your life. This course helps you get familiar with each one and understand how different parts of life (like home, money, health, relationships, and purpose) are influenced by planetary activity.

Discover Aspects and Transits

Once you understand chart structure, you’ll move into more advanced areas like aspects—how planets talk to one another in a chart—and how these connections create a fuller picture of personality and life themes.

You’ll study transits, learning how to interpret current planetary movements and what they mean for timing and life changes.

You'll also explore:

Moon phases and their emotional influence
Progressions and return charts for long-term insight
Chart calculation methods

Astrology explores the relationship between the positions/movements of celestial bodies and events on Earth/human affairs. Astrologers believe that the positions of the planets, stars, and other celestial bodies at the time of a person's birth can influence their personality, relationships, and life path. Astrology also involves the use of horoscopes and other tools to provide insights and guidance for various aspects of life, including career, relationships, health, and more.

Astrologers use various tools - such as birth charts, horoscopes, and planetary alignments - to interpret the influence that planets have on human events on Earth, providing insights and guidance into different aspects of life. While its scientific validity is the subject of ongoing debate, astrology remains a popular form of divination and self-reflection for many people.

Astrology has been practised by civilizations throughout history and across cultures, with its origins dating back to ancient Babylon and Egypt. It was used for both practical and spiritual purposes, such as predicting weather patterns, determining auspicious times for events, and providing guidance on personal and political matters.
