The Path of the Sun forms the Neophyte (intermediate) level course of the College of Astrology and Magic.
Students will ideally be familiar with their birth chart and/or the astrological basics of chart interpretation, or be open to expanding their knowledge of these areas.
It is ideal for those looking to incorporate magical practice into their astrological life or vice versa. The course is particularly suitable for students who have completed The Path of Moon and Earth, although it is possible to join without having done so. Astrology and Magic form two strands of the Western Mystery Tradition and complement each other extremely effectively.
Course Content This 12 month course follows the Celtic Wheel of the Year with the Sun moving through the zodiac signs during the year, uniting the heavens and the earth and recognising the correlation between our inner world of experience and the rhythms of the natural world. Other magical traditions, such as the Kabbalah will also be introduced.
It looks at the inner magical meaning of the seasons and changes of the solar tides at the solstices and equinoxes and their strong links with your conscious wishes and sense of who you truly are, and who you truly can be. The course focuses on you as an individual and incorporates personal and spiritual development.
The Path of the Sun will deepen your understanding of the astrological elements and cardinal, fixed and mutable modes, the magical directions of East, South, West and North, and the fire festivals of the Wheel of the Year by guiding you through a whole solar year.
The course explores your conscious self and who you want to be. It looks as life as a pathway to fulfilling our potential, life purpose bringing to light our potential and illuminating our life purpose in the most profound sense of these words. It looks at who we are now and who we can be. It will help you bring your innate gifts into the limelight and recognise the value you have in your own right, supporting a stronger self-confidence.
Additionally, the potential of the Moon’s nodal cycle and eclipses, and their importance in exploring the symbolic relationship between the Sun, Moon and Earth and the conscious and subconscious parts of ourselves is integrated with your existing knowledge in a new and vivid manner that can transform your astrological and magical practice.
Course Structure The Path of the Sun lasts for 1 year and consists of 12 monthly online classes when the Sun enters a new zodiac sign, and experiential sessions at the fire festivals, solstices and equinoxes.
