Astrology is both an art and a science. A student of astrology learns both technical detail and to develop their intuitive awareness. Along the way, the student will encounter some of life’s biggest mysteries, including “Who am I?” “Why am I here?” and “What is the best way for me to work toward realizing my full potential?”
All facets of our experience here on Earth are described vividly through the language of the stars.
At Awareness Institute, we offer a wide range of astrology programs and services to suit your individual interest.

Want to dip your toes into the world of astrology? astrology 1 offered in term 1 Mar 2012 or Apr 2012 or online starting anytime.
We all know our Sun sign, and many of us have glanced at our horoscope in a magazine or online. However, the Sun and its position at the time of our birth is only one of the astrological influences upon who we are and our life purpose. In astrology 1 we explore the planets position in our solar system and how these can influence our unique personality patterns and karmic challenges. Explore the different archetypal symbols that each planet describes and how this can greatly influence the way in which you face the world. Learn about Sun signs, Moon signs and how they interact, as well as the importance of astrology through history. Class discussion will include student chart examples as well as examples of famous individuals. No prior knowledge is needed and students can take a fascinating journey into discovering what motivates them and why.
For those wanting to continue the fascinating exploration of the interplay of astrological forces within our lives, we also offer a face-to-face or online certificate in contemporary astrology. This one year course furthers your understanding, building on the foundations of Astrology. By the end of this course you will be able to read and interpret a birth chart and develop competency in the knowledge of planets, signs, houses, aspects, transits, and progressions. Upon completion, you will be able to describe the unique qualities of a given individual as shown in the birth chart, and make reasonable forecasts about how circumstances may unfold in this individual’s life.
At the end of this course, you will be eligible to sit for the FAA Chart Interpretation exam.
