Chart Calculation Instructor: Christine Arens Both of these math courses are required for the Professional Diploma. Students who need additional assistance may take the course over two terms or request additional tutoring. These courses are designed for students intending to take the organizational exams or complete the Professional Diploma. There is a trade-off in having the benefit of computers to calculate an astrological chart. These two courses give students a deeper understanding of how the chart relates to the movements of the earth and sky which aids chart interpretation. The method taught is based on the use of addition, subtraction and log tables.
M101: Chart Mechanics Level 1 This course covers the process of calculating a natal chart. Students will learn to calculate charts from time zones around the world, as well as in both the Northern and Southern hemispheres. It is highly recommended that students complete E400 Astronomy for Astrologers before taking this course.
M102: Chart Mechanics Level 2 This course adds additional calculation techniques, including the lots, adjusted calculation date, progressions, directions and solar returns.
Counseling and Relationships By the end of this certificate, students will know how to locate various relationships in the natal chart, apply multiple chart comparison techniques and be able to evaluate different Western approaches to the interpretation of relationships.
