📜 Course Description
Astrology: The Planets is a comprehensive online course exploring the archetypal energies, mythological backgrounds, and practical influences of all key planets used in astrology. From the luminaries (Sun and Moon), through personal planets (Mercury, Venus, Mars), social planets (Jupiter and Saturn), to outer planets (Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto), students will gain a deep understanding of how planetary energies shape personality, behaviour, and life experiences.

This course emphasises experiential learning and personal reflection, allowing students to engage with planetary energy in daily life without requiring prior knowledge of chart interpretation, houses, or placements. Through lessons, reflective exercises, quizzes, and assignments, students will explore planetary archetypes, symbolism, and mythological stories, building a solid foundation for further astrology studies.

✨ By the end of the course, students will:

• Recognise and describe the luminaries, personal, social, and outer planets.

• Understand planetary archetypes, mythological associations, and symbolic meanings.

• Explore planetary correspondences, including colours, metals, stones, days, and body parts.

• Reflect on how planetary energies manifest in daily life and personal experiences.

• Distinguish between personal, social, and outer planetary influences.

• Apply planetary insight in a practical, experiential way without needing chart interpretation.

• Build a foundation for advanced study in signs, aspects, and houses.
