Evolutionary Astrology Basics - a 6 week class

Evolutionary Astrology Basics

a 6 week class presented by Steve Wolfson

An introduction to Evolutionary Astrology and the archetypes of the 12 signs.

Evolutionary Astrology (EA) is a metaphysical system based in Natural Law – that which is naturally observable. It uses astrology as a symbolic language to describe the natural processes of life, forward movement of endless cycles of birth, growth, and decay; leading to rebirth in the next cycle.

EA views the human Soul as the root cause of a human birth. To EA, the planet Pluto in the birth chart symbolizes the Soul’s growth intentions for the current life. "Why am I here?" and "What are my life lessons?" are the core EA questions.

EA helps crack baked-on layers of conditioning that have created a conscious sense of self-identity that is not truly who I am. Growth is the process of peeling back those layers – leading to an open heart, where the innermost Soul can be revealed. This process is not always fun, but it is always real. It leads to increasing Authenticity – the progressive discovery of one’s true voice, and one’s intended life directions. This journey does not stop until the last breath, and no one is too old or too young

We start the classes by discussing the metaphysical principles that are the foundation of EA. The rest will be in-depth discussion of the 12 astrological archetypes (signs). In my experience, a deep understanding of the 12 archetypes is the key that unlocks about three-quarters of astrology.

(Example: Gemini is known as "dual natured" and "indecisive and wishy-washy". But WHY? From an EA perspective, Gemini correlates with the human need to gather information, to use the mind to classify physical reality, so we can feel we have a handle on it. When looked at in this way, we begin to see why Gemini at times must behave indecisively. Thus we become more accepting of how we and others are “wired”).

The classes will be 2 hour sessions, once each Tuesday, for six consecutive weeks, 6 to 8 PM, in Ashland Oregon. The first class was Tuesday Feb 19th. You are welcome to attend even if you missed some of the classes. The classes are being recorded, and CD's will be available. If you are interested in attending some of the classes, please contact me and I will send you necessary details. Cost is $10 - $15 sliding scale, per class.

The classes are accessible to astrology newcomers, and will also hold the interest of more knowledgeable students.

My style is informal and tends towards the right brain - intuitive. We will discuss more concept than details to memorize. As time permits we will work with charts, to ground what we discuss. Example: What does Venus in Cancer in the 10th house look like? (hint: combination of Libra and Cancer and Capricorn…) What changes if we move Venus to the 5th house, or place it in Scorpio? If we complete our sign-work in time, in the last class we will integrate it all through some chart interpretation.

I live in Ashland, where I do astrological life readings, in person and by phone. I also teach and give talks on Evolutionary Astrology, which has profoundly deepened my life. I was a presenter at the last two national Evolutionary Astrology conferences, in 2004 and 2006.
