Astrology 101

With Jacqui Mancuso

Astrology plays a large role in our lives whether we're aware of it or not. By having a basic understanding of the planets and signs, we're able to anticipate upcoming transits and plan accordingly, using the energies to our advantage! In this 13-day course, Jacqui will walk you through the zodiac circle, introducing you to the basic principles of understanding astrology. What if you would have landed your dream job had your interview been scheduled a week later? What if you wouldn't have had that argument with your partner had you known your own tensions were high and had taken an extra minute to cool off? By understanding our own astrology blueprint through our natal charts, we can anticipate favorable time periods in our lives. What does it mean to be a Libra? A Capricorn? What does it mean to say that my moon is in Pisces? What's a rising Virgo? You'll find all of these answers and more within this course!

Lesson 2

The Personal Planets

The "personal planets" are those that orbit close to Earth and play a large role in our day-to-day lives. These speedy planets have small orbits, thus changing astrological signs at a rapid pace. Get to know the energies of the sun, moon, Mercury, Venus, and Mars, and uncover how they interact with our lives.

Lesson 3

The Outer Planets

The outer planets orbit much farther away from Earth, thus moving more slowly than the personal planets, staying within an astrological sign for a longer period of time. Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto influence us for longer periods of time, creating "chapters" in our lives. Learn the energies of these planets and see how they relate to themes from different generations.

Jackie’s upbeat personality made this course engaging. Lots of information to parse and learn and some of it felt disjointed for me. This is likely more due to the sheer volume of info available that it can’t all be covered in a micro course. I really enjoyed this one. Thanks!
