Course description:Are planets better behaved in some signs than others? In opposition, what planet is most likely to win the tug of war? Are mutual receptions always nice? The key to answering these questions and many more is understanding dignities and debilities.

The traditional astrology tool of dignity and debility is a powerful and nuanced way to add detail to your chart interpretation. But many astrologers do not realize how effective and useful this tool can be or they think it is simply archaic and overly complicated. Nothing could be further from the truth!

The goal of this class is to show how you can reclaim this effective tool.

If you ever want to add horary and electional astrology to your toolkit, you already know you need to understand dignities and debilities. But this tool can add tremendously to your understanding of the natal chart. Unfortunately, it is rare that you can find a course that gives more than just a basic understanding or point listing.

"The instructor. Charlie was very methodical and knew the information very well. He presented the information in the best possible manner. His lectures went beyond the written word in the handout and he got his points out effectively. Also, Charlie was extremely patient with his students; questions were encouraged and you felt comfortable asking them."

“You really got the feeling that Charlie wanted you to learn. You could feel his excitement with the material too, which was awesome! I loved this class! I learned a lot and it made me very excited about astrology. I left feeling that I could actually look at a chart and understand it.”

C.M.G.

Using clear explanations, examples, and exercises, Charlie will help you build your interpretative skill and guide you into a deeper understanding of the logic and power of the dignities and debilities. (Did you know that Aristotle described the soul as moving through each of the planetary spheres and choosing from them the qualities it wanted in its life. So, in esoteric astrology, the dignity system became a way of helping you to discover more about your soul's path and purpose.}

“I would like to thank Charles; this is the most helpful astrology course so far. It’s a very clear traditional astrology system, that introduces a method to analyze charts. The teaching is structured and to the point. I hope to see Charles in October for Cycle of the year.”

From William Lilly's book Christian Astrology (1647), Chapter 18 (with the spellings modernized):

The exact way of judicature [interpretation] in Astrology is,

First, by being perfect in the nature of the planets and Signs.

Second, by knowing the strength, fortitude or debility of the Planets, Significators, and a well posing of them and their aspects and several mixtures, in your judgment.

Third, by rightly applying the influence of the position of Heaven erected, and the Planets aspects to one another at the time of the Question, according to natural (and not enforced) maxims of Art; for by how much you endeavor to strain a judgment beyond nature, by so much the more you augment your Error.

A Planet is then said to be really strong when he has many Essential dignities, which are known, by his being either in his House [Rulership], Exaltation, Triplicity, Term or Face, at time of the erecting the Figure [chart].

Students will explore the full traditional system of essential dignity and debility, and how it can be a powerful tool in modern chart interpretation.

-You will receive an overview of

the history and etymology of the concepts dignity and debility

what the different dignities mean, and why there are different versions

the difference in understanding and using rulership and dignity in traditional and modern terms

how the meaning and usage of the dignities has changed through history

important concepts related to dignity - reception, almuten, peregrine

You will receive practice in

how to use both major and minor dignities to build nuance in chart interpretation

how dignity and reception help understand planetary aspects and the types of conversations the planets are having

how dignities can help you find assistance for a problematic point in the chart

CS151ADignities and Debilities

CS153A The Cycle of the Year: TraditionalPredictive Astrology

Course description:

Traditional astrology offers a particularly effective system of forecasting that combines techniques to help you prepare for the future and understand the past.

This system is known as the Cycle or Turning of the Year. Instead of just using a Solar Return, this method was prepared yearly for each birthday. It has its roots in Hellenistic astrology, came to full flower in the Arabic and Persian eras, and persisted through the late Classical period of Lilly and his contemporaries. Ben Dykes' translation of Abu Mashar's On Solar Revolutions in Persian Nativities3 is a full exposition of this system.

This course covers the three techniques involved in this system:

distribution through the bounds or terms (aka primary direction)

profections

solar returns

Required books can be found under the Electives-Classical section of https://keplercollege.org/index.php/required-books-for-courses

Using clear explanations, examples, and exercises, Charlie will initially show students how to apply each technique individually and then practice putting them all together. Students will then practice using them in combination with traditional techniques for evaluating a chart.

Students meet in a live online session for 2 hours each week and will be able to download a copy of the recorded lecture. But we also want to make sure you can apply what you are learning.

CS151A Dignities and Debilities

CS153A The Cycle of the Year: TraditionalPredictive Astrology

This course explores the history and development of astrological practice within the nexus of culture and religion. Is astrology a religion as it was developed in Mesopotamia and integrated into ancient Indian faiths? Or is it a science as Ptolemy tried to explain in 150ce?

We will examine the history of astrology paying particular attention to the relationship of culture, religion, and theory in astrological practice. We will explore the role of Belief in astrological meaning and expose the often unconscious religious underpinnings of modern astrological practice. A lot of religious dogma is brought into the consultation room without the conscious perception of the astrologer or client.

This course seeks to make these assumptions conscious by stripping away the dogmatic religious ideology from our everyday practice of astrology. Afterwards, you may wish to add them back into your practice, but at least now they will be conscious decisions enabling you to be a more effective astrologer.

Weekly Topics:

1. The study of religion & the philosophy of science: the religion of astrology’s birth from Mesopotamia to Alexandria to Ujjain.

2. Judaism, Christianity, Islam, & Enlightenment: Religion & critiques of astrology

3. The Reincarnation Revolution: Theosophy vs. Church of Light

4. Spiritual Darwinism and Esoteric Astrology

5. 21st century Spiritual Astrologies & The New Age

Course Objectives:

Students

•Will identify the workings of religious assumptions in their own practice.

•Will understand how culture, religion, and science combine into an astrological system.

•Will understand various techniques that spiritualize the astrological chart

•Will have an understanding of the changing concept of The Meaning of Life over time and culture.

Grading

This course is pass/no credit. To successfully complete this course (for example, you want to apply it toward the Certificate Diploma), students will be expected to:

(1) Attend in person at least 3 of the 5 live meetings

Kenneth earned his MA in Eastern and Western Traditions: The History, Philosophy and Transmission of Astrology from Kepler College. He also attended the American College of Vedic Astrology, where he achieved a Level II certification, and is certified a Jyotish Kovid from the Council of Vedic Astrology. He received his BA in Anthropology, Psychology, and Religious Studies from University of Colorado: Boulder.

After years of having his newspaper horoscope read to him by his mom, Kenneth made the shocking discovery that all the planets were involved in astrological judgments. At age 13 he taught himself how to cast a chart by hand. This began a lifelong interest in astrology and astrological traditions. He remained an amateur western astrologer studying with various teachers until the mid-1990s, when he was exposed to Indian (Vedic) astrology, and after a few years decided to make a mid-life career switch to become a professional astrologer.

Kenneth is a former President of Kepler College and has served on various astrological organization boards through the years: CVA, ISAR, NCGR, and SDAS. He loves astrology and is eager to serve the Jyotir Vidya (Goddess/Knowledge of Astrology).

In addition to Indian astrology, Kenneth has studied Modern western astrology with Helena Elizabeth Ruhnau, Hellenistic astrology with Demetra George and Robert Schmidt, Medieval astrology with Robert Zoller, and Renaissance astrology with Lee Lehman. He is one of the few professional astrologers with a working knowledge of all of these traditions.

Course description:This 5-week course explores basic planetary symbolism to capture the dynamics of who we are and how we can flourish.

These difficult times provide an opportunity for personal reflection and new opportunities for learning. This course looks at different perspectives on personal identity and character as they relate directly to our astrological symbolism - in a way more profound than you can imagine.

In an unusual alliance with some trends in modern psychology, this course investigates why we say someone is a "good soul" and how the cracks and breaks in soul express in "character flaws." We also explore what diminishes, or even kills soul – and how it can come back to life. These ideas form the bedrock of "the good life” and how we can act in harmony with all of ourselves and with the larger world.

The course also draws core material from the ancient world that saw the soul or psyche in a variety of perspectives: body and mind together, animating breath and life force, a basic form that may exist alongside and may outlive the body, or as an identity that reveals itself to others and lives among others in the larger world. Psyche and soul also represented states of being and were used to express an immortal essence transcending our personal identities.

Through five weeks of live meetings, and a course site with written discussion forums to continue the conversations started during the live meetings as well as readings and videos, students will grow their understanding of how astrology incorporates these concepts and how this understanding can enliven and deepen astrological interpretation.

Our emphasis is not on advocating a specific point of view but to engage in meaningful conversation, generate deeper exploration and contemplation, and offering astrologers further tools for meaningful interpretation.

WR202B The Astrology of Family Patterns

What can we tell from an astrological chart about the soul and potential past lives? It's a really good question, and astrologers have been finding answers since ancient Greece. This course looks at the intersection of ideas about the soul and astrological interpretation from ancient to modern. Each week, students will have a chance to work with a different technique, applying it to their own charts and the charts of others.

This course presents an overview of reincarnation's role in astrological practice and students are strongly encouraged to actively participate in both the live sessions and in online discussion forums. Basic knowledge of astrology is required, for we’ll look at different astrological techniques that have been used to tease out information about the soul's incarnations.

Weekly topics include:

1. Planets are divine(or at least they are people)!
   The Western tradition: karma and metempsychosis
   Meeting the characters
   The ascent and descent of the soul
   Talking to your planets
   
2. Daemons are Forever
   Find your soul's guardian spirit - Techniques from our astrological ancestors
   How to use the astrological chart to help a planet in need
3. Karma and astrology from the Indian perspective.
   Indian astrology's approach to the lunar nodes
   Using the entire chart to talk of soul, incarnation, and reincarnation.
   
4. The rebirth of reincarnation and astrology in the 1800s
   The soul's ghostly rise - Spiritualism
   Theosophy's multiple children consider reincarnation and the astrological chart:
   The Wheel of the Zodiac and the Seven Rays
5. The Evolution of Evolutionary Astrology
   Birth and rebirth in modern times
   Pluto and the Nodes
   Reclaiming the Past

Our emphasis: engage in meaningful conversation; enjoy deeper exploration; and give astrologers additional tools for meaningful interpretation.

This course is for students of astrology who know the basics but have trouble with interpretation. By the end, students will have learned a range of techniques and methods that will assist them in bringing the generalities of astrological symbolism to an insightful delineation for a specific individual - without having to rely on anyone else's interpretation.

Students will learn a simple but powerful methodology to gain a deeper understanding of the core meanings of the planets, signs, houses and aspects. These basics are stripped to their core to understand how they are structured, how they are interrelated, and how they reflect the wholeness of an individual and their life.

Interpretation practice begins by using general patterns formed by the chart as a whole, including distribution of element and mode, dispositor patterns, Marc Edmund Jones patterns, and hemisphere and quadrant emphasis.

In the next step, students learn to build additional layers of meaning by adding specific planetary connections based on dispositors, major aspects, and the major dignities and debilities.

Prerequisites:

• Students should have memorized the glyphs and basic meanings for the planets, signs, and houses. They should also be familiar with the element and mode of the signs, the planets that rule each sign, and the major aspects.
• Take the Kepler College Free Placement Quiz and receive at least a 95% for the Introductory Quiz, and at least 75% for the Level 1 (Part 1) Quiz.

Features: This course is six weeks. Students will have a 2-hour live Zoom session each week. Students are also encouraged to participate in the online discussions, quizzes and assignments to help with their learning.

Students who want credit for this course need to participate in the dsicussion forums, complete the assignments, and pass the final test (75% or better).
