Overview

Find the shape of you with the geometry of your chart

In this course renowned astrologer Alexander von Schlieffen takes us to a new level of understanding birth charts.

In astrology, “aspects” refer to the angles that planets in a birth chart make to each other; for example, squares, trines and oppositions. Angles combine to make shapes; for example,  rectangles, triangles and kites. These geometric shapes portray relationships between planets that are characteristically fluid and easy, or tense and challenging. Knowing these patterns helps us go with what’s flowing. It also helps us see where we´ll be called to rise to the challenge of tensions.

Join Alexander for this new advanced course in finding agency and resources in the aspects. We strongly advise taking Alexander’s introductory and intermediate courses before this one.

This course is ideal if you want to:

  • To understand the various intra- and inter-personal dynamics that the different aspects and figures suggest.
  • To be newly energized in your readings of astrological birth charts.
