Course program

Counseling Skills for Astrologers is a self-paced training by Astrology University, taught by Mark Jones — a UK-based astrologer, psychosynthesis therapist, and author of The Soul Speaks. The course brings counseling skills and therapeutic awareness into the chart reading, with the aim of helping astrologers create more transformational sessions for their clients.

This program is designed for astrologers of any technical persuasion who want to become more effective at communicating with clients. It assumes you already work with charts or intend to read for others, and requires only a working interest in astrology and client-facing practice.

The course explores the therapeutic insight and counseling competencies needed to actualize a client-centered approach to astrology. Mark draws on his background in psychosynthesis to introduce concepts from soul psychology, including the work of individuation and the healing potential of the natal chart. Students learn how to see through common myths that can distort an astrological reading, and how to communicate a clear and effective vision to the person sitting across from them.

The course is taught by Mark Jones, Senior Instructor at Astrology University. Mark is an evolutionary astrologer and psychosynthesis therapist based in Bristol, England, and the author of three books — Healing the Soul, The Soul Speaks, and The Planetary Nodes and Collective Evolution. He is a regular speaker and workshop leader across North America, Europe, and Australia, and is known among students for his spiritual orientation, warmth, humor, and depth.

The format is fully self-paced. After enrolling, students download twelve audio lessons and twelve accompanying PDF documents and progress through the material at their own speed. There are no scheduled live sessions or cohort start dates. The required textbook, The Soul Speaks, is purchased separately.

This is such a comprehensive and insightful course. I am having many breakthroughs and insights into my own chart and those I am close to. Definitely a missing piece of the puzzle for me.

I like that the lessons were presented by different teachers with varying perspectives. The readings are excellent and a great addition to my library. The course was stimulating, but not overwhelming with technical details.

This has been a very informative class. The focus on the angles has been really illuminating. I am loving Melanie Reinhart's material and I just adore Darby Costello's perspective on just about anything! Great course work!
