Envisioning Astrology & Education

Tune in to Talk Cosmos, Sunday, August 20 at 1-2 p.m. PDT for a special guest panel of four leaders representing their astrology education institution about “Envisioning Astrology & Education”. A sequel to follow the past January 15 panel focused on “Envisioning Astrology Certification”. 

New trends learning styles involve active engagement, research, diversity, and an inclusive umbrella encompassing the ever-wide spectrum of astrological study. However, the crux for professional astrologers rests with how to level the expectation standard accrediting astrologers. Astrology continues to increase in popularity.

Talk Cosmos is your opportunity to ponder realms of what Carl Jung called the collective unconsciousness that’s shared through time to the present…all through the lens of Sue’s lifetime of peering into astrology.

“Thankfully, I discovered Evolutionary astrology. Its perspective points directly to our unique personal spiritual soul growth…driven by our aligned intentions.  Its promising purpose of soul growth ignited an entirely alive Zodiac. Captured, I felt compelled to study the deep significance of astrological application,” said Sue.

Sue is your guide to focusing the Cosmos kaleidoscope. In the words of Einstein, “Energy’s never destroyed, energy only changes.”
