  • Go from confusion to competency.

    This course provides a structure that will support you in building your astrological knowledge from the group up. It focuses heavily on chart synthesis, so you can feel confident in bringing together everything you’ve learned and applying it to each chart you come across.

  • Find the magic in the mundane, one chart at a time.

This course teaches you how to speak the language of astrology, how to decode the symbolism of a natal chart, and how to bring a mythic lens into your everyday life.

Your Curriculum

The Astrological Craft begins with looking at what astrology is, how it’s evolved throughout history, and the philosophy that underpins it. From there, we build a solid foundation by exploring key concepts such as planets, zodiac signs, houses, and aspects. After you’ve completed lesson 8, you have the option to attend office hours with Kira to ask questions and get support as you move into more advanced concepts and timing techniques. The course finishes by exploring the crown jewel of prediction: Zodiacal Releasing. 

There are over 60 hours of teachings spread across 15 lessons with quizzes along the way to check your understanding so you can feel confident as you progress through each module. When you complete the course, you will have the option to take a final exam and become certified by Kira Ryberg. From there, the vast and starry skies are the limit.
