The Art of Astrology

Connecting with astrology for healing & self-discovery

A 6 month long learning experience taught by Nate Travis

Much more than a sign

Although we will cover signs–and they are important–the planets are the real heart of astrology. These are the living archetypes that comprise our experience and being. Health, especially our psychological and spiritual health, depends on how well we’re able to express or honor these various archetypes–and how well we keep them in balance with each other.

So we’ll meet astrology on that level–as a framework that can help us improve our lives, health, and happiness in tangible and deeply felt ways.

Also as a framework that, while it does not provide certainty, gives an ongoing sense of structure and purpose. (I like to say that one nice thing about being an astrologer is that no matter what challenges life throws at us, we’re always learning something about astrology!)

What You Will Learn in This Course

  • The meaning, feeling, and experience of each planet.

  • The healthy and unhealthy possibilities of each planet - and practices that can improve their health.

  • Symbolic thinking - how to interpret symbology in the world around us.

  • Western and Hindu thinking when it comes to astrology - including many mythological stories related to the planets.

  • How to track transits and interpret their meaning.

  • How to understand the houses.

  • How to understand the signs.

  • How astrology connects to healing & how our early life and culture color the way we express the planetary energies.

What You Will Gain

By the end of this course, you will have a solid foundation in astrology. You’ll be able to work with it as an ongoing tool and to know its deeper value. It can be daunting to learn astrology for those that are new. There is a lot to it - hence why this course is 6 months long!

Throughout this course though, you will learn all the fundamentals at a manageable pace. You will also–and this is probably most important–come to understand yourself and others better. You’ll experience life more fully, tapping into some hidden aspects of yourself. Hopefully you will develop even greater trust in life along with skills for navigating and adapting to change.

Format

Each lesson will be online. They’ll last 2 hours and consist of a combination of teaching and group discussion. There will be activities–most commonly journaling practices–in between each session to develop our connection with the material covered.

All lessons will be held at 6:30pm over Zoom. I will reach out for one-on-one check-ins throughout the course. If you miss a lesson, it’s not the end of the world. All sessions will be recorded and shared in the Mighty Networks space for this course - a space where students can connect, ask questions, and post updates.

  • Yes! This is a beginner-friendly course, and by the end, you’ll have a solid foundation on all the essential elements.

  • This course is not explicitly intended for practitioners, but learning these fundamentals, you’ll easily be able to apply them, both for yourself and others - be that in a casual or professional manner.

    Really the only extra thing you will need to practice is experience - and I’m also happy to point you to other resources at the end if you’d like to go deeper in your studies.

  • What this speaks to to me is that we all have our own unique relationship with astrology, and we also weave together many threads - of our life experiences, of the people we know and what we know of their astrology, and of the different teaching traditions we’ve been exposed to. This weaving is always artful!


    For me personally, I weave Western traditions such as evolutionary astrology and psychological astrology (this pulling from the Jungian tradition) with Eastern traditions, specifically the Vedic tradition (which includes elements that pre-date the Vedas!). Especially when it comes to ancient astrology, there is so much depth and character there, but there’s also the need to understand it through a modern lens - see what is relevant and how and also to ignore what is no longer relevant.

    “Art” often contrasts with “Science.” There is a lot of science to astrology too, and that can’t be ignored. But what I hope to bring is a sense of what really matters. Predicting when to buy a lottery ticket is something you can do with astrology, but is that really what you or someone else needs? I think you will find your own relationship and what astrology means to you, and you may also find interest in other fields or sub-fields (such as Human Design or other cultural traditions).

  • Short answer: yes. Most of what is discussed doesn’t directly require knowing your time of birth or exact chart. However you probably do want to know that. I have an offering called “Finding Lost Birth Time,” so reach out to me separately if you want to pursue that.

  • If you miss a lesson, it’s not the end of the world.

    All sessions will be recorded and shared in the Mighty Networks space for this course - a space where students can connect, ask questions, and post updates.

Meet the Teacher

Nate Travis

A big part of this course is about the healthy and unhealthy possibilities of each planet and let’s just say I know the unhealthy possibilities very well! 

I can teach about improving our relationship with the planets because I have come a long way in my relationship with each and every one of them. None of them have been automatic or a slam dunk for me, and I continue to work and live with them every day. I’ve come a long way though, made it over many hurdles, and now have a solid and nourishing relationship with them all. (Though of course there are always surprises!)

In addition to my great teachers and other courses and practices (such as AEW and Warrior Within), astrology has been instrumental in helping me to develop a strong sense of self, to break out of unhealthy childhood patterns, and to become capable of maintaining healthy and fulfilling relationships (with friends, family, and partner). So it’s this gift that I hope to pass on to you!

It takes some dedication to learn the fundamentals of astrology, but if you do, you won’t regret it!
