Let’s be real. Astrology is a foreign language. But understanding it doesn’t have to be out of reach. Become fluent in the foundations of astrology in this info-packed video course. In The Astrology Starter Kit, your birth chart will go from a mess of confusing symbols to a clear and accurate map of your life.
Demystify your birth chart

Learn how to organize a reading for yourself or others
Deepen your knowledge and explore astrology as a profession or serious hobby
We kick things off by exploring the awesome things astrology can do for you. After a brief history, we dive into astrology’s essential building blocks: the qualities and elements. You’ll also learn how to calculate your dominant element. Are you fiery, airy, earthy, or watery?
The planets are the main characters in astrology. Think of them like a group of assistants that have specific tasks in your life. After this class, you’ll have a thorough understanding of what each planet’s “job” is, where the outer planets fit in, and what your most important planets are.
Zodiac signs are like photo filters that change the way a planet expresses. In this class, you’ll break the zodiac signs down into their pieces so that you can build up meaningful statements about what it means to have Venus in Gemini or Mars in Cancer.
The houses divide your life into topics. Money, career, relationships, friends, stress—they all have a place in your chart. In this class, understand why some houses are labeled as “good” or “bad” and how to create nuanced interpretations for even the most difficult placements.
After mastering the astrological pieces, I show you how to put them together in a mini reading. Watch as I read a chart from start to finish so that you can do the same for yourself or a friend. Learn how to think like an astrologer and identify the most important parts of a chart quickly.
Hi, I’m Claire Gallagher—consulting traditional astrologer for ten years. The astrology world is rich, but it’s also full of head-spinning jargon. I’m passionate about making jargon make sense. As a Virgo, I have a knack for breaking down complex concepts into bite-sized morsels, and I aim to bring an efficient and simplified voice to the astrology space.
I cover a brief history of astrology, the qualities, the elements, the planets, the zodiac signs and the houses. This is everything you need to start reading your own chart.
I do not cover aspects, planetary condition or timing in this course. They will be covered in a future course (creating it now).
I teach traditional astrology (largely Hellenistic and medieval influences) with a modern spin. I use whole-sign houses and traditional planetary rulerships. (Don’t know what that means? Come to class!)
Yes! This course teaches you astrology from the ground up in a simple, easy-to-grasp way.
Likely! Unless you’ve done lots of formal astrological study, you’re bound to learn something in this course. If you’re self-taught and are looking to study more formally, this is a great first step. After finishing The Astrology Starter Kit, you’ll be ready to study more intermediate and advanced astrological topics and/or do a mentorship with me.
Viewing time for the entire course is approximately 4 hours, broken down into digestible chunks.
Learn astrology quickly and easily.
