Astrology Empowerment
Exploring your souls purpose and potential!
Astrology is more than a language—it is a way of seeing ourselves. Offering us an invitation to deeper self-understanding, inner ease, and conscious choice as we understand patterns, timing, and the deeper rhythms that shape our lives.
In this workshop, the birth chart is approached as a living reflection of our soul’s design. Through a grounded and accessible framework, you’ll begin to understand how your chart speaks to who you are, how you move through the world, and how to work with your natural cycles rather than against them.
This is not about memorizing symbols or accumulating information. It is about developing a working relationship with astrology—one that supports clear perception, aligned decision-making, and a more steady trust in your own path.
Whether you are new to astrology or returning with experience, this space offers a way to engage it with greater depth, clarity, and personal relevance.
Join author and teacher Laurelle Rethke as she introduces the foundations of this ancient cosmic science, helping you decode your own personal map of the stars at the moment of your birth.
Laurelle has been teaching Western Tropical astrology with a Spiritual / Evolutionary focus since 2012, guiding students towards deeper self-awareness through the language of the stars.”
Level 1 : The Essentials
We’ll start with the story of the signs…
This simple and engaging framework will help you understand and remember the core energies of each sign, while introducing their relationships to the planets and houses—as well as the elements, modalities, symbols, and polarities that form the foundation of astrological understanding.
We’ll delve into the deeper meanings behind the symbols used in astrology, learn about the Cardinal Cross and Quadrants, and explore house and planet interpretations. From there, we’ll begin to look at how planets express through the signs and houses.
This essential knowledge will make the language of astrology accessible and intuitive, serving as the first powerful step in your astrological journey.
This workshop can be taken on its own–or with Level 2
Level 2 : Interpreting Astrological Charts
Deeper astrological study…
In this level we move beyond the foundations and into the art of interpretation—where astrology becomes a living language that helps us better negotiate our own lives as we follow a journey of self-discovery.
We begin by exploring the dynamic relationships between planets through aspects, including key configurations and composed patterns that shape the core narrative of a chart. Through this process you will begin to see how these energetic dialogues influence life direction, inner tensions, and areas of growth.
We’ll then add in the Chart Ruler, Guiding Planet, several key asteroids, and the Moon’s Nodes—including the significance of the Dragon’s Tail and oppositional dynamics—applying these principles directly to our own natal charts.
Finally, we’ll integrate what we’ve learned by interpreting our own charts, as well as those of public figures.
