Gnostic Astrology
The plan of this course is to cover 3 main books:
• Zodical Course (1931) by Arnoldo Krumm-Heller [available as Gnostic Rosicrucian Astrology]
• Zodical Course (1951) by Samael Aun Weor [available in Practical Astrology]
• Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology (1967) by Samael Aun Weor [also available in Practical Astrology]
We will read one chapter from each book during the time of the Zodical Sign (example: March 20th-April 19th read chapters on Aries). This will introduce the student to some interesting meditative practices which are useful to know.
