NAT-5: Chart Synthesis

Prerequisites: Must have completed NAT-1 through NAT-4

Course Description: In Nat-5 of the Natal Studies Module we focus on helping you perfect your knowledge of the various techniques you’ve learned throughout these classes. These 10 weeks are devoted to the integration of the material you have learned so far in preparation for this important semester final.

During this semester, you will practice your skills in delineating natal charts. Some weeks will focus on modern delineation, other weeks will focus on classical delineation. Mystery Charts are used in the homework so that you can discover your biases when looking at a chart. Self-evaluation is a part of each week’s homework after the mystery chart is revealed in the following class.
