Alternative Traditions Certificate:
This Certificate requires 30 credits.
The Alternative Traditions Certificate is designed for students who want to broaden their astrological education beyond standard modern practice and engage with diverse systems that approach astrology through different philosophical, cultural, and technical lenses. These traditions emphasize alternative cosmologies, symbolic frameworks, and interpretive methods that deepen historical understanding and expand interpretive flexibility. Through coursework drawn from global, esoteric, and specialized branches of astrology, students gain exposure to distinctive techniques and worldviews that enrich their overall astrological skill set and support more nuanced research, study, and application across traditions.
The courses offered in this certificate range in astrological skill level from Novice to Advanced. Follow the link below to the Astrological Skill Set and see what the different skills are required for all levels. All courses are five (5) credits unless otherwise specified.
