Where I Studied Astrology
I studied at the Faculty of Astrological Studies and
completed both the Foundation and Diploma courses. You'll find details of all
their correspondence courses by visiting the Faculty of Astrological Studies

Studying Astrology
Astrology
is a fascinating subject and there is a huge astrological community around the
world, who would be only too happy to welcome you into their ranks and help you
learn more about the art.
My first recommendation would be to take a look at the website of the
American based magazine, The Mountain Astrologer. The magazine began in 1987
with just eight typewritten pages and a print run of 100 copies. Now it is one
of the most respected global astrological forums and prints 24,000 copies,
obtaining 40,000 readers each month. This magazine carries comprehensive
listings for astrological courses, seminars, meetings etc., taking place around
the world each month.
Contributors to the magazine include some of the most well respected
names in the astrological 'community', including Rob Hand, Erin Sullivan and
Deborah Houlding.
The website is: www.mountainastrologer.com
Subscriptions and back issues
(including one on astrological courses) can be obtained by calling:

Another excellent resource is Dermod Moore's www.astrologer.com site.
At this site you can find information of software, charts, astrological
associations and a comprehensive directory listing all things astrological
using a refined search system - The Metalog Directory.
Finally if you wish to study astrology
to a professional level, you should contact the main astrological body in your
country.
