This is not a beginner’s course! Before you enroll in this course, you need to know:
- The planets and their glyphs
- The signs and their glyphs
- The planetary rulerships of each sign
The above are the minimum requirements necessary for enrollment in NAT-1.
When you enroll in NAT-1 you have realized astrology’s complexities and want to get them right. You are at the point in your study where you are ready to jump into a structured learning environment and delve into a systematic study of astrology.
We know you have questions. We have attempted to answer all of your questions in the Professional Training Department’s Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ).
(Nevertheless, if the FAQ did not answer your specific question, you may email education@astrocollege.org).
