Medieval Astrology Certificate:
The Medieval Certificate explores the rich astrological traditions developed and refined between the 8th and 14th centuries, spanning the Persian, Arabic, and later Latin Medieval periods. The course draws extensively from historical source texts of the era, including rare Persian translations that remain largely unavailable in the West.
Designed for serious students with foundational astrological knowledge, the Medieval Certificate challenges participants to expand their interpretative and predictive skills through sophisticated analytical systems taught within our courses. These time-tested methods provide a more in-depth and nuanced approach to natal chart delineation and forecasting.
Core topics include spherical astronomy, calendrical systems, star catalogues, lunar mansions, fixed stars, astrolabes, geomancy, Arabic parts, almutens, significators, as well as Medieval techniques in Mundane and Electional astrology. Predictive electives such as Firdaria, Primary Directions, Solar Revolutions, and Advanced Annual Profections are also included, with additional modules to be added over time. A 5-week practicum rounds out the program, guiding students in integrating the teachings into a cohesive and practical astrological approach.
The Medieval period marks a golden age in astrology, where innovations in mathematics and technology merged with cross-cultural scholarship to preserve and enhance the legacy of the great astrological minds. By enrolling in the Medieval Certificate, you will gain a profound appreciation for this lineage’s depth, history, and philosophy—and emerge as a more insightful and effective astrologer, equipped to bring these classical systems into your contemporary practice.All courses at Kepler College are taught in English unless noted otherwise.
