This first Module offers an introduction to the course. It frames this course's approach to astrology as an incredible resource for healing, especially when we focus on the archetype of the Moon.
In this module, students learn the foundations of astrology & the zodiac. Basic astrological principles of the natal chart are discussed along with in-depth discussion of the twelve signs, houses and their ruling planets. This module serves as the foundation from which to then explore the role of the moon in students' own natal chart in later modules.

The introduction you gain to astrology and the moon's role in healing through taking this course is deeply nuanced and unlike other approaches, because, Iris, your teacher, is not only an astrologer but is also a professor of Cultural Studies. I bring to my astrology practice a scholarly passion and understanding of cultural symbols and meaning making traditions which greatly supports how I work with and teach about Astrology. I also write and publish about healing, all of which allows me to develop a very strong and nourishing introductory course that will help build your confidence in astrology and in working with your Moon.
