Applied AstroPsychology for AstroMapping
Astrology reflects the inner workings of the human psyche. Through the lens of AstroMapping, we will examine how planetary symbolism relates to relocation decisions, local space dynamics, and the emotional factors behind choosing a place to live, work, or build relationships.
Astrology as a Metaphysical Language: Plotinus the Platonist
Explore how Plotinus developed the original philosophical notion of astrologia, used since the first philosophers of Greece, into an extraordinary conception of an astral Logos or Word (the stars as letters), a heavenly script or law that governs the world but in a providential way that foresees and integrates our choices.
Astrological House Division & the Symbolism of the Celestial Circles
Study how the major house division systems are calculated—in a way that does not require any math. Rather than advocate the use of one house system over another, we will compare them and look at the various celestial circles they are based on, reflecting upon the symbolic implications of each of them and how they might impact on chart interpretation.
Progressions & Solar Arcs
Study symbolic timing techniques based on planetary motion in the days following the nativity, to gain a wide-angle view of a person’s life path. Use them with transits and solar returns to clarify a person’s circumstances and the decisions to be made.

Our school includes many highly-qualified Astrological instructors, all passionate about guiding students through their educational journey.
In August 2022, Kepler was honored with the award of Favorite Astrology School, voted by a peer community of international astrologers, at the ISAR (International Society of Astrological Research) conference in Westminster, Colorado.
Kepler College is a registered 501(c)(3) with a dual governance system, allowing us to meet the needs of our students while maintaining a vibrant and flourishing learning community. The leadership of Kepler College consists of a Board of Directors and an Administration Council, and a group of instructors who are experienced, professional Astrologers.
What Our Students Have to Say
Trusting the Astrology
My Kepler education gave me the skills to “trust the astrology”. If the story of a chart doesn’t make sense at first, I don’t need to stress. I can confidently put any doubts aside and go back to the foundations for a professional delineation that’s spot-on.
Excited to be a part of the Kepler Family
After many, many years of studying astrology on my own, I was so excited to find Kepler’s online diploma program. It was really the only way I would ever have been able to complete such a program, since I live in Alaska most of the year.
Memorable Moment
A memorable moment in Kepler was the first day of class with the enthusiasm and excitement I felt as I embarked on this journey that has turned into a passion.
About Kepler College
As one who holds two graduate degrees from accredited universities, I can say with some certainty that Kepler’s curriculum is current, comprehensive, and most importantly, interesting!
