Course program

The Transformational Astrology Foundation Course by Astrology University is a self-paced program taught by Mark Jones. It introduces his evolutionary astrology method, weaving together the philosophical framework of his book Healing the Soul with practical, step-by-step instruction in chart interpretation. The course frames astrology as a tool for transformation, healing, and personal growth.

The course is intended for students who already have a working grasp of basic astrological concepts including planets, signs, and houses. It suits practising astrologers, serious students, and counsellors or therapists who want to integrate evolutionary astrology into their work with others. A willingness to engage with depth psychology and contemplative practice is helpful.

– The philosophical framework behind transformational astrology and its roots in evolutionary astrology
– The soul-centered model of the chart, including the roles of Pluto, Uranus, and the lunar nodes
– Practical, step-by-step techniques for chart interpretation aimed at transformation and healing
– How Pluto’s complexes express through the houses
– How the lunar nodes describe the soul’s evolutionary intent
– Methods for reading charts to help others with personal growth
– Supplementary self-tests and recommendations for further study to deepen understanding

The course is taught by Mark Jones, a Senior Instructor at Astrology University, astrologer, and psychosynthesis therapist based in Bristol, England. Mark is a regular speaker and workshop leader across North America, Europe, and Australia, and the author of three books on evolutionary astrology including Healing the Soul, The Soul Speaks, and The Planetary Nodes and Collective Evolution. Students value his spiritual approach, humour, warmth, and depth.

The format is self-paced distance learning. The course includes more than 19 hours of audio class material together with supplementary videos and PDF study guides. Audio downloads allow students to listen offline, and lessons can be revisited as needed. Mark is also available for optional private tutorial sessions for students who want one-on-one guidance through the material.

This is a non-certification course on its own. At the end of the program, students are eligible to take an optional proficiency exam with Mark Jones, where they can test their chart-reading skills and receive personal feedback. Graduates leave with a working framework in transformational, soul-centered astrology and the practical tools to begin reading charts as a method of healing and growth for others.

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!

So happy to have found this school! The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about teaching. Quality lectures, readings, homework assignments and feedback on homework all contributed to my learning. Attending classes and Q&A's live with a group of stellar students enriched my experience. Can't wait for the next course!
