Astrology Classes for 2021
...all classes have now moved online due to covid-19
Christine offers beginners' through to advanced  astrology classes in Melbourne, Australia. The 2021 Beginners' course is a 32 week course that will be held at 7pm each Thursday evening, commencing March 4. After you have completed this course of study there is the opportunity to take your learning to another level through the Intermediate and Advanced classes. During 2021 Second Year Classes will be held on Monday evenings and  Third Year /Advanced Classes will be held one Saturday afternoon a month.

All Christine's courses provide an in-depth introduction to astrology from a psychological and mythological perspective. The emphasis is on personal growth and discovery. Classes are suitable for people wanting to know more about themselves and their friends and family, as well as those individuals who may be contemplating becoming a professional astrologer. Each lesson includes printed summary sheets and an opportunity to apply the knowledge to your personal birth chart. Access to the video files of missed classes will be available the day after the class in case you can't attend.  The pace is gentle, allowing time to discuss and integrate the material that is presented each week.
