Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to learn astrology? You can grasp the basics in a few weeks, but astrology is a lifelong study. Most students feel comfortable with fundamental concepts after 6-12 months of regular study.
Do I need to be psychic to learn astrology? Not at all! Astrology is a symbolic language that anyone can learn. It’s more like learning a new way to understand patterns and cycles.
What’s the best way to start learning? Begin with your own birth chart. When you can connect astrological concepts to your personal experience, learning becomes much more meaningful and memorable.
Should I learn traditional or modern astrology? We recommend starting with modern psychological astrology, then exploring traditional techniques once you have a solid foundation.
