How long did it take you to learn natal astrology? - Discussions, questions

Shain3777 Back in the 80´s my mom studied with a personal tutor for a little less than one (1) year. The classes were twice a week at two (2) hours per session.

I hope that helps.

Rosincvist Radio Engineer and Astrologer Farley Malorrus tried to mix instruction in with quick interpretations on his one hour a day show, there was years of build-up and looking things up, there was reading about things as they became more familiar.
There had previously been a Palmistry interest that identified hands, feet, and ears with the whole human form, that helped me to break free of a past-life hostility to Astrology.
I have erschel, the planet of Astrology, closely between Regulus and the Ascendant; That made understanding the farther smaller colder planet easier than !

1janos I´ve been hard at it for 35 years and am still learning.

In my view, there is no in depth understanding of Astrology without studying midpoints. Reinhold Ebertin´s awkwardly titled book: The Combination of Stellar Influences (COSI) is a great source.

There is an amazing amount of descriptive detail in an astrological chart.
I´m a psychotherapist by training and profession, and became involved with astrology to gain deeper understanding of the people I had therapeutic relationships with.

This is going to sound terribly judgmental, and perhaps even cruel, but I am a realist and a pragmatist.

I´m afraid for that purpose the usual, naive, simplistic, generalized, arbitrary, inaccurate, shallow, New Agey and mostly sentimentally hopeful information isn´t good enough.

A lot of authors sugarcoat facts, even if they´re aware of them, to remain popular and acceptable. Life as such is far more tough and at least unpleasant, as I´m sure you know all too well.

People can of course sooth their pain as they wish, but to actually address and perhaps even reduce the impact of problems requires more time, effort and dedication.

I perceive a dream of control, a wish for only nice things to happen in many people´s minds. It is not easy to accept, that in real life, that is simply not possible.

The team of scientists, doctors and astrologers, who contributed to the twenty odd years long of large scale research, that lead to the publishing of COSI had found a great deal of non romantic developments in people´s lives. It´s not always easy to accept their conclusions. However if applied with strict observation of the recommended method, the conclusions reachable are often genuinely accurate.

Like much of life, especially in regard to learning, it is a lifelong process.

zarko22 » 1janos It is true that on the basis of the natal chart you can get a very approximate psychological profile of a person. I know a way to calculate temperament by the method of traditional astrology. It is a way that dates back to the Renaissance.
With this post, I actually wanted to say the following:
people, you are wasting time on the WRONG astrology. True astrology has existed since before Christ, and the magical 7 planets are enough for it.
When you understand that the days of the week are not just called by chance on the planets and you wonder who forcibly pushed the transaturians into astrology, you will make a big step forward in your understanding of astrology.

Learning is endless, to say I have learned means I would miss incoming new things.
