Astrology University: Intro to Asteroids for Natal Chart Interpretation

Course program

Intro to Asteroids for Natal Chart Interpretation is a four-week, self-paced course at Astrology University taught by Demetra George, author of the foundational text Asteroid Goddesses. The course shows students how to bring asteroids into birth chart work and use them to surface deeper threads of meaning in a natal chart.

The course is for students who are new to asteroids and those pursuing Astrology University’s four-year Professional Astrologer diploma. No prior experience with asteroids is required, and enrollment in the diploma program is not necessary. Basic familiarity with the birth chart is recommended.

The curriculum unfolds across four weekly themes:
– Week one: Learn the practical groundwork of working with asteroids — how to obtain positions for a wide range of asteroids, decide which ones matter in a particular chart, and research their meanings.
– Week two: Focus on personal name, place, and concept asteroids, exploring how these often point to specific threads woven into an individual’s life.
– Week three: Study the asteroid goddesses Ceres, Pallas, Juno, and Vesta as drawn from Demetra’s book.
– Week four: Explore mythic deity asteroids from world cultures, expanding the asteroid pantheon beyond the four classical goddesses.

The course also includes weekly reading assignments, Q&A sessions, downloadable handouts, and a discussion area for student exchange.

The course is led by Demetra George, a senior instructor at Astrology University specializing in archetypal mythology, mythic asteroids, and ancient techniques. Demetra is the author of Asteroid Goddesses, Astrology for Yourself, Mysteries of the Dark Moon, Finding Our Way through the Dark, and Ancient Astrology in Theory and Practice. She has taught the history of astrology at the University of Oregon and lives in Eugene, Oregon.

The format is self-paced. The course includes 6+ hours of pre-recorded video instruction, plus four Q&A sessions, weekly homework, and ongoing discussion. Students enroll at one of two tiers: an audit option that includes the full study materials and videos, or a feedback option that adds personalized homework feedback and an exam review from teaching assistants and instructors. The required text is Asteroid Goddesses by Demetra George, 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!
