I just realized I’ve been working on my Venus Star Course for almost the entire Capricorn Venus Star Point phase. At this point, it finally starts to begin to feel ready. A few additions to the material that came into my mind during the past few days, proofreading (again, in a Saturnian manner to the hundredth time!), and creating some more worksheets, and the course is ready.
Today I’ve been working on the info and registration page. I can feel how one of my time-lords entering my ninth house (containing the giving foot of my Venus Star) has given me new energy to push forward in getting ready to teach astrology. This is welcomed energy! I’m excited to soon be teaching the secrets and mysteries of the Venus cycle and the five-pointed star pattern it creates! โจโคโ๏ธโงโจ
I am very interested in the origins of astrology – please tell me where to start. Michael
Hi Michael,
Thanks for your comment! The oldest written documents about astrology are from the Old Babylonian period (2000-1600 BCE).
There are two books in English I recommend looking into. The first is ๐ ๐๐ช๐ด๐ต๐ฐ๐ณ๐บ ๐ฐ๐ง ๐๐ฐ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ด๐ค๐ฐ๐ฑ๐ช๐ค ๐๐ด๐ต๐ณ๐ฐ๐ญ๐ฐ๐จ๐บ: ๐๐ณ๐ฐ๐ฎ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐๐ข๐ฃ๐บ๐ญ๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ช๐ข๐ฏ ๐๐ฆ๐ณ๐ช๐ฐ๐ฅ ๐ต๐ฐ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐๐ฐ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ฏ ๐๐จ๐ฆ by James Herschel Holden, American Federation of Astrologers, 2nd edition, 2006. The second book is called ๐๐ฆ๐ญ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ช๐ด๐ต๐ช๐ค ๐๐ด๐ต๐ณ๐ฐ๐ญ๐ฐ๐จ๐บ: ๐๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ฅ๐บ ๐ฐ๐ง ๐๐ข๐ต๐ฆ ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐๐ฐ๐ณ๐ต๐ถ๐ฏ๐ฆ by Chris Brennan, Amor Fati Publications, 2017.
I assume you also speak German. You might want to look into Rafael Gil Brandโs ๐๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ณ๐ฃ๐ถ๐ค๐ฉ ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ณ ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ข๐ด๐ด๐ช๐ด๐ค๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ฏ ๐๐ด๐ต๐ณ๐ฐ๐ญ๐ฐ๐จ๐ช๐ฆ, Chiron Verlag, 2000. You can also check out the first article I published here on my blog in 2018, which is about the history of astrology: http://livingincycles.blog/2018/05/26/geschichte-der-astrologie/.
These few suggestions should help you get started. I hope you enjoy reading and learning.
Alles Gute! โจ
