☀ PURPOSE IN A CHART, CLIENT ETHICS

How might we help usher a client towards their authentic self? How do we look at a chart to discern it’s center of gravity or life purpose and honor the ways our clients are inspired to express that? We seek to use astrology as a co-creative guide to empower our lives. We will discuss the importance of the natal SUN, divine will vs. free will and cover coach/client ethics that are essential for impactful healing work.

☾ MINDFUL SELF-COMPASSION, ATTACHMENT THEORY & SAFETY

We will understand what it means to really feel our feelings and have our own backs as we move through moments of suffering. We will consider the concept of SAFETY, and ways to nourish a secure landing pad in ourselves and others through the gifts of the natal moon. We’ll also dig into attachment strategies, bids for connection and belonging in the chart and how to better cope with getting our needs met in this chaotic world.

☿ THOUGHT WORK, MANAGING THE MIND

One of the most important parts of well-being is peace of mind. We dig deep into thought work tools, how to identify and transform painful thoughts into a more life-giving reality. This goes beyond positive affirmations, this is a lab for building a deep relationship to how your mind works, and the music it plays with your nervous system. We will consider the role of Mercury in a chart, in mental health, in conversational coaching skills and how to wield its craftiness for ourselves and others.

♀ SOMATIC PARTS WORK, POLYVAGAL THEORY, EMBODIED INTIMACY

We will cultivate wisdom around eroticism, sex and gender expression. We will consider our capacity to make choices that weigh both social and personal style. We’ll cover fun things like attachment trauma, pleasure, Somatic Parts Work and Polyvagal Theory. We will also discuss the importance of a values-driven life and cover some necessary body-based tools for coaching both couples and individuals through relationship stress or milestones.

♂ DESIRE, TRUE WILL & FAILURE TOLERANCE

We will dive deep into the role of Mars as a guardian for helping us ask for what we want, hold the high sensation of failure and keep trying. We will talk about anger management, how to assert ourselves, clear false desires and create a life we are actually excited about. This will also be a deep dive into the nervous system and it’s natural threat response. How to work with clients who are stuck in fight or flight through the signatures in their chart.

♃ SELF-HYPNOSIS, BELIEF & GOAL SETTING

Our minds are story-making machines. We will learn how to identify painful beliefs and transform their shapes and sizes into a more spacious reality. Jupiter wants to expand and find what’s morally ideal and meaningful. We’ll resource ourselves by connecting to why we do what we do. This will offer tools for helping clients untether themselves from the past and move towards the version of themselves they want to be. We will also discuss what healthy goal setting looks like in a productivity-obsessed culture.

♄ PRACTICAL LIFE SKILLS + FEAR

We will focus on the tangible tools for managing our time and space. Whether its procrastination, a scattered calendar or a neurodivergent flow, we discuss healthy discipline and boundaries. We will also cover concepts around FEAR, and taking inventory of what holds us back from expressing ourselves fully. We’ll also cover topics on punishment, perfectionism, adulthood, authority, parenting and family dynamics from an IFS/parts work POV.

♅ HABIT CHANGE, COMMUNITY & FUTURE-ING

The brain is economical - it automizes anything that is repeated and makes it an unconscious habit. We need Uranus to wake us up from our sleep. We will learn the tools for effective habit change and ways we can interrupt, surprise and open up a more liberated version of ourselves. We will also discuss dopamine cycles, how to work with dissociation, ADHD, as well as interdependency, community and the importance of learning from our future selves.

♆ SPIRITUALITY, ENERGETIC BOUNDARIES & SURRENDER

We will learn how to move through confusion, the art of SURRENDER and the practice of Tonglen. We will also dig into essential tools for energetic boundaries - with people and the spirit-world. How to clear/protect your energy before and after sessions or any engagement - as well as the importance of radical rest. We’ll explore the importance of your creativity as a practitioner and learn the difference between intuition and anxiety.

♇ SHADOW WORK, GRIEF & TRAUMA

One of the most important aspects of healing is to build a relationship with the unconscious mind and the somewhat roundabout ways it manifests things in our lives. As Jung says: “If we don’t make the unconscious conscious, it will rule our lives and we will call it fate.” We will learn important tools for accessing these more unknown parts of ourselves. We will discuss the role of astrological NODES in a chart and meditate on mortality, grief and the essential tools for trauma-informed coaching.

✧ INTUITIVE BUSINESS SKILLS + SYNTHESIS

We will discuss how to start-up or sustainably run an intuitive, conscious business under current post-capitalist realities. This is a launch pad for aligning with your values and putting yourself out in the world with integrity. We will find ways to creatively link essential astrology techniques, counseling tools and business values to the soul of your way of doing things.

✧ COACH & BE COACHED

We will be doing a lot of group and one-on-one exercises with each other’s charts during the main curriculum - yet this serves as an opportunity to practice official sessions with strangers under compassionate mentorship. We will bring in real clients from the outside world to practice our tools on. This module is optional.
