Astrology Workshops
In Person or Live on Zoom
Astrology can feel complex, symbolic, and sometimes overwhelming—but at its heart, it is a deeply practical tool for self-understanding. When approached with clarity and curiosity, astrology offers insight into who we are, how we move through the world, and the deeper rhythms shaping our lives—reflecting our strengths, our challenges, and our unique blueprint.
Join author and teacher Laurelle Rethke as she introduces the foundational building blocks of this ancient cosmic science, helping you decode what they reveal about your own personal map of the stars at the moment of your birth.
From beginner to more in depth teachings, Laurelle will guide you on a deeper discovery of yourself and others through the exploration of the stars and the cosmos we are all a part of.
Laurelle has been teaching Western Tropical astrology with a Spiritual / Evolutional focus since 2012. Contact her to set up dates and times.
Astrology Essentials
We’ll start with the story of the Signs…
This simple story will help you to remember the energy of the signs, and establish their relationship to the planets and houses—as well as the elements, modes, symbols, and polarities—which together embody the core of all Astrological understanding. We’ll also cover the house and planet interpretations individually. Just this bit of information will make it easier for you to understand the language of astrology, and is the first powerful step in your astrological journey.
This is a 3-4 hour workshop

After covering the Essentials above, Deeper Astrological study includes…
We’ll move on to discover the meanings behind the Symbols in Astrology, learn about the Cardinal Cross and Quadrants of a chart, and delve more fully into the Elements, Modes, and the energies of the Planets in the Signs and Houses. We’ll study the Aspects of the planets in relation to each other, including the Composed Aspect patterns at the center of the chart. Through this process you will discover how this knowledge can help you better negotiate your own life, and follow a journey of self-discovery.
Plus we’ll cover the Chart Ruler, the Guiding Planet, several key Asteroids, the Moon’s Nodes (including the significance of the Dragon’s Tail and Opposites), and more–all while applying these principles to our own natal charts.
Lastly we will apply what we’ve explored in order to interpret our own charts, and those of public figures.
By the end of the full workshop you will have the tools you need to be able to start interpreting your chart, and the charts of your friends and loved ones. You will posses all you need to start your own unique personal journey into the world of Astrology, including deepening your connection to the Universe, and the personal alchemical transformation that comes with the understanding of this wisdom.
