Part II of the curriculum

What Part II teaches

Part II teaches the full Western system and layers WaveForm astrology into it. Each placement keeps its Western meaning and is also read as the work of an operator, a function in the person with a task, a felt sign that it is working and a recognizable way of failing, with what the person can do about it. The student learns both readings, training by training, on the same charts.

Our astrology is tropical and solar. The signs are the Sun’s year. The houses are the regions of a life. The aspects are the phase relationships between the operators. Each planet has its own training, with a slide for the planet in every sign, in every house and in aspect to every other planet, the Western reading first and the WaveForm reading beside it. The reading trainings follow: the whole chart at a glance, the nativity, reading by topic, karma and dharma, relationships, transits, returns, horary and election, and the consultation with a client. By the end of Part II the student gives one reading in two languages.

Each training is set out in segments of a few slides, and each segment ends with a test of three to five questions: multiple choice, yes or no, or select all that apply. Every answer must be correct. When an answer is wrong, the student watches the segment again and is then tested only on the questions missed, until every question of the segment is answered correctly, at 100%. Then the next segment opens. A question guide to print holds every question of the training.
