Practical Archetypal Astrology with Laurence Hillman delivered exactly what he promised, a “Deep Dive for Beginners.” This is the class that I have been searching for and I was not disappointed. Laurence started at the very beginning, teaching the basics of astrology, and then he walked us through step by step to understand the symbolic language of archetypal astrology. This class offers powerful tools for a new way of seeing ourselves and the world.

Great class! Dr. Hillman is an interesting and knowledgeable expert and teacher, and he presented the information in a way that each week built off the previous. The analogies of the planets to actors on a stage etc. were easy to remember and visualize. The reading material was very instructive and helpful, especially since this was my first time learning about something other than sun sign astrology. A whole new world has been opened up to me. I appreciated the lectures being recorded. I listened to several of the recordings, and they helped plant the ideas covered. The pace was quick and that seems appropriate, especially with the recordings and reading materials. The opportunity to ask questions and the suggestion to create a study group were also excellent. I appreciate the amount of information given and much prefer getting a lot of information to not getting enough. I highly recommend this course and am looking forward to taking subsequent classes.
