In Part Four of astrobarry’s 4-part astrology course, we will focus on the different ways to use astrology to interpret the dynamics at play in our interpersonal relationships.

We’ll examine which types of relationships likely to be most fulfilling to an individual, based on factors present in the birthchart. We’ll also learn how to look at two birthcharts together, analyzing the planetary interaspects between them using synastry. This allows us to better understand the unique blessings and challenges specific to the relationship.

Prerequisite: Fundamentals 1 , 2 & 3, or the basic ability to understand a birthchart and planetary transits. Contact the store to see if this class is right for you.

This workshop focuses on connecting with matters of the heart, in particular our connection to faery. Jane will also teach participants how to use the beautiful Faery Oracle deck, designed and written by Brian and Wendy Froud. She will also read for participants, from this deck, during class.
