The Astrology School

Great course, very well substantiated. Also easy to understand for foreigners whose English is not perfect like me.

If you aim to study and understand the roots of western astrology than Chris Brennan's Hellenistic Astrology Course is what you are looking for. The content of this course is extensive yet well-structured. Detailed theory and practical examples go hand in hand when it comes to the various techniques of ancient astrology. This course is not only teaching methods but illuminates in great detail the premises behind them. The Hellenistic Astrology Course helps to build a strong foundation in understanding the mechanics of astrology and applying its techniques in practice. I went through the course with great enthusiasm and thank Chris for his well-organized and comprehensive teachings!

A very thorough and organized course! Thank you Chris!

I came to this course with a million questions. As someone who had begun to learn modern astrology and passed the first level NCGR test, I keep asking myself about the origins and history of astrology. Where does the astrology we use today come from? Where do the signs come from? Why is Saturn malefic and Jupiter benefic? What is the oldest astrological text known? This course answered all of my questions. It opened my eyes to the origins, history and philosophy of the astrology during the Hellenistic era and the Roman empire. It enhanced my practice as a professional astrologer. It gave me a deeper appreciation for the historical arc of astrology since ancient times. The facebook group allowed me to connect with other astrologers interested in the revival of Hellenistic astrology from around the globe. I highly recommend it for all astrologers.

This course is invaluable. So much information in one place. And! I especially love that new videos pop up! I am so pleased that I chose this course. I absolutely recommend it for serious students of traditional, event based astrology.

I purchased Chris's Hellenistic Astrology course in 2014. I slowly worked my way up toward the end of the course; I only had the Zodiacal Releasing section to go. When Chris launched the "new course" I took the opportunity to go back through it all from the beginning. I am now four hours into the zodiacal releasing section and have about fourteen hours to go to complete that section. After only four hours I can say that the zodiacal releasing section really brings things together and that it alone is easily worth the price of the course. I have also purchased Chris's Electional and Horary Astrology courses and look forward to getting into those soon! Chris Brennan has truly done an outstanding job of authoring these courses. Thanks, Chris!

At the end of last year I finished Chris Brennans Hellenistic Astrology Course and got my Certificate of Completion. I loved following the lessons and the way Chris explained everything. Although I am from the Netherlands and English is not my home language, I had no problems following Chris. His calm voice, together with the slides and the handouts made it a pleasure to listen to him . It was really fun to do the tests and receiving his corrections, just like having a private teacher. If you want to learn the basics of Hellenistic Astrology in an easy way and in your own tempo, register for the Hellenistic Astrology Course. I am sure you will enjoy it as much as I did and it is worth every dollar. The course, together with Chris' book ' Hellenistic Astrology, the study of fate and fortune' are an absolute must for everyone interested in the Western horoscopic astrology. Hellen Vos

This Course is really fabulous. It is extremely well structured. The explanation is crystal clear. There are tons of examples. The course is taught with inspiring enthusiasm, and it has a beautiful layout. The audio-visual method is very appealing . It has to be mentioned that Chris has a very very nice voice which makes the many hours of listening to the audio-material, a truly peaceful thing instead of a torture to the ears, which very unfortunately is so often the case. Starting as an introductory course, and very very useful as such, it has been developed now to a complete course, which is fantastic. To rate it 5 stars would' t do justice to this course. In fact it sits on lonely heights I am quite sure that this course, as well as the now accompanying and quite unique book on Hellenistic Astrology, will take their place in the history and practice of Hellenistic Astrology, and very deservedly so! Thank you Chris. Marion van der Graaf, the Netherlands

Chris Brennan's course sets a very high standard for online study programs full stop. It is comprehensive, clear and the support is fantastic. I have a background in psychoanalysis and have been dabbling with astrology for a few years now. This is the first time that I feel confident enough to delineate a nativity / natal chart without all the smoke and mirrors and psychobabble. There is much that I still want to learn, but I know where to go and what to do. The course represents real $ value too - it is obviously driven by passion to teach and not profiteering. From my perspective this a no-brainer not only for someone interested in so-called Traditional Astrology, but for anyone serious about Horoscopic Astrology in general. May the stars be ever in your favor :)

The amount of content hours, lectures, slides, and articles embedded in the Hellenistic course is an invaluable investment for both the student of astrology looking beyond late 20th century/ modern astrology and the seasoned astrologer who would like to explore Hellenistic astrology. Chris Brennan’s dedication to preserving traditional astrology in a manner that is accessible, practical, and affordable is part of what makes this course exceptional. Upon completion of this course, the wealth of information gained can be easily applied to the astrologer’s consultation practice, a blessing for both the practitioner and client.

My introduction to traditional astrology was through Demetra George’s workshops “Traditional Astrology 101 and 201”, which are based on her book, “Astrology and the Authentic Self”. My appetite thus whetted, I wanted to go further, so I took Chris Brennan’s Hellenistic Astrology course. This course contains a thorough explanation of the history and all the technical basics of Hellenistic astrology, as well as subjects which are not basic at all. By the time I had completed the course, I was able to delineate a natal chart in an authentically Hellenistic fashion. Everything from trigon lords to profections to solar revolutions to zodiacal releasing is fully explained in the included video lectures and written materials. Quizzes are provided in order to test one’s progress. I highly recommend this course.

This course is extremely comprehensive, covering the history and foundations of many astrological techniques, as well as more advanced techniques such as zodiacal releasing. I am self-taught and started off learning a very new-agey type of astrology. I was missing a lot of the basic grounding and was getting lost and confused. This course has filled in a lot of gaps in my knowledge. Not only that but it will make it easier for me to remember, because I now know the logic behind the attributions such as the exhaltations. The many example charts given bring the techniques to life and make it interesting. Chris explains things really clearly. The Facebook group is also useful to connect with other students, have any questions or you want to share your findings and ideas. I'm really glad I decided to invest in this course and would definitely recommend it to anyone who likes a down to earth approach to astrology.

I did the whole course in nearly 1 year. The content is well organized and fully referenced, wh'ich I appreciated particularly. The multitude of practical examples is amazing, even if many are used several times for different purposes. Chris' voice is clear and he speaks slowly (but not too much either and thus not becoming boring), which makes the course easly audible also for non native speakers. I liked the audio format which permits also listening without looking all the time at the slides. A minus point is that (when I did the course), it was impossible to follow it on the mobile phone, but I think, Chris is changing this. The last three lessons are far the best ones. The material is complex and working through the old textbooks (required readings) along with this course makes study (and thus one's personel discoverings) awesome. At some point, I proposed to create a study group, an idea immediatly taken up and realized by many of us. This is becoming a very interesting discussion forum, where we meet once a month online. Chris Brennan appreciated this idea and pushed it forward and now it is kind of part of the course, where students of all levels can discuss and give presentations. This openess to new ideas and projects is the best part of the Hellenistic Astrology course, which I truly recommend.

Wow...Chris Brennan has really worked hard on this and it is really noticeable. Very in depth lectures, so many examples, elegantly paced course with calming voice to guide you. I have learned a lot and I am looking forward to trying out the other courses offered by Chris. All of the books recommended and programs are necessary to fully understand Hellenistic Astrology. Of course practice makes perfect so take your time. Recommended for anyone who wants to explore either basics or in-depth view of Astrology.

I have not completed the course yet but am very excited every morning to grab some coffie and dig right in again. The Lectures are straightforward and easy to digest, along with the written txt. Its nice how it includes videos along with the text, it keeps it exciting to see whats next. What I especially love is the color coated grafts, Signs / Causes and Complete vs partial determinism. The color coading allowed me to color my notes as per astrologer or philosopher and keep them all in order, For example Ptolomy would be red and purple for causes / partial determinism. This REALLY helped me to grasp each seperate view. I honestly did not think I would enjoy this work as much as I have. I also now thanks to this course see the importance of learning the history along with technique. -------- The only suggestion would be that I think the quizzes are too simple and weren't super challenging. But not an issue, This is the most well laid out course I have ever taken and is easily worth the value. You can tell the vast amount of time this course took to make and you can tell how passionate and informed the creator of this course is. Thank you Chris, you have outdone yourself and I am throughly impressed. Can't wait to dig back in tomorrow! Cheers!

This course is a comprehensive survey of the history, philosophy and practice of Hellenistic astrology. Chris' elucidation of the material is clear and easy to follow. He has an ability to explain complex and nuanced concepts in a way that makes them accessible to students of all levels. Chris draws on the latest scholarship as well as an array of primary and secondary sources and numerous chart examples to bring to life this important part of the astrological tradition. Chris is supportive and personable; he makes himself available to answer any questions in a timely and thorough manner. Additionally, I have benefited from the amazingly supportive, global, community of students on the forum who have, on more than one occasion, helped me through the course material and provided additional observations and insights. I highly recommend this course to all those interested in deepening their knowledge and appreciation of astrology.

Excellent Course for the Beginner, Intermediate, or even Advanced Astrologer. The author is clear, engaging, and most of all, knowledgeable. You will get your money's worth for this course if you put in the time!
