The course offers a practitioner level of certification, and by the end of the course any astrologer who is already capable of offering a professional astrology service will be ready to begin offering horary to clients. The course is also a requisite qualification for anyone wishing to undertake the advanced level of study and tutorial mentorship offered in the STA Masters-Level Horary Course.
The course explores the methodology, theory, history and practical application of horary technique, and places its emphasis on learning through typical client-scenarios, with consideration also given to informative historical examples. Although traditional techniques lie at the heart of the study, the course is geared towards the consulting needs of the modern horary astrologer and a wide range of typical (and unusual) horary queries are covered (including lost items/missing pets and people, relationships/emotional dilemmas, property/career/financial concerns).
Study groups are kept small to ensure plenty of individual attention, and lessons take the form of tutorials with follow-up discussion and practice scenarios. In these, students are guided towards developing refined focus, and taught the most efficient way to extract the pertinent details of the astrological symbolism. Each lesson allows the opportunity to explore and consolidate what is being taught through a selection of various chart examples, and the course is designed to offer an accumulated knowledge of traditional doctrines in a balanced way, so that theoretical principles enlighten and facilitate (rather than overwhelm) the creative aspect of horary interpretation.
Residential intensives, attendance courses, or online presentations?
Past delivery of the course has shown that learning through exploration of modern case studies, under the direct guidance of a skilful practitioner with a small group of like-minded colleagues, is the best way understand horary’s full potential and acquire the confidence needed to work independently as a horary consultant.This course has undergone a long period of development through being delivered for many years at workshop-style intensive seminars. It continues to be made available throughout the world by intensive programs, attendance classes and residential courses, and we strongly recommend that you make the effort to enrol onto one of the attendance courses if at all possible. If not, we provide an online version of the course which offers weekly delivery of study material and chart examples over a period of around three months.
As well as English language courses, the STA also offers this course in Dutch (as an attendance course in Holland) and Chinese (as an attendance course in Hong Kong).
