Prerequisites: Students must have completed the Natal Studies Module. Due to the amount of homework in this class it is not recommended that you take this class alone and not add a second one.

This course introduces transits and various ways to move the chart in time. Both modern and classical forecasting and timing techniques are covered. You will build the event theme using the techniques with three case studies relevant to delivering a modern astrology consultation. You will also build the theme by using the techniques relevant to delivering a classical astrology consultation with the same three case study events. Techniques that are used in both approaches will be covered comparatively in their weeks.

By the end of the course you will have the tools necessary to provide a yearly client forecast.
