The Astronomy of Astrology with Stefanie Marlow

The Astronomy of Astrology with Stefanie Marlow

The Astronomy of Astrology explores the fundamental astronomical concepts that form the basis of astrological practices. We will begin this series by exploring the elements of the astrological chart wheel, diving into historical context, and learning how astronomical phenomena translate into astrological principles.

In this workshop, you will learn to recognize the relationship between astronomical observations and astrological techniques, learn the fundamentals of our solar system, and you'll be introduced to the celestial mechanics that affect astrological calculations. Feel free to bring a computer if you’d like to follow along as we explore coordinate systems in astronomy apps and sky maps.

Some of the topics we’ll dive into include:

• Historical context of astronomical observation
• Evolution of astronomical understanding
• Solar System formation and components
• Celestial mechanics and precession
• Great Circles and their significance
