This course looks at how to quickly check the birth time of your client without Math or technical work. These techniques will not zero in in an exact time of birth, but they may be enough for you to spot a wrong time and ask that the time be rectified before you  waste time building the wring birthchart.

Welcome!  This course provides a thorough introduction to astrology and to its application in a psychological context using the approach pioneered by Bruno & Louise Huber. Originally part of the APA Huber Diploma program, this course has been approved by the APAE (Advisory Panel on Astrological Education) in the UK.  You'll have a real, live tutor (me! Mark Douglas, mark@theseawithinyou.com) to guide you through. I'm on your side to support you. The format of the course is experiential. You'll work through a 112-page PDF book (download), and after each of the 8 Units, you'll send relevant exercises for support and feedback. This is a supportive environment -- no tests or essays! I'm on your side. You will work within your chart and experience the solar system in practical projects. Through it all, you will gain a solid foundation in astrological principles. This is experiential learning and not a simple workshop.And after completing, you may decide to complete my full Diploma in Huber Astrological Psychosynthesis.  The timeframe to complete this course is approximately 4-6 months, but everyone's schedule is unique.
