COURSE 04:
Cosmology:
Navigating the Night Sky
In this one-of-a-kind astrology course, you’ll learn to identify the stars and planets with your naked eye and become aware of how our lives fit into the bigger pictures of time and the cosmos.
Learn to know, as our ancestors did, why we are at a great Turning of the Ages.
Course Overview
Cosmology:
Navigating the Night Sky
In this advanced astrology course,, you will learn how to orient yourself among the stars, and how to “see” an astrological chart in the night sky, bridging the gap between astrology and astronomy.
Through this integrated process, you will learn the technical aspects of the Turning of the Ages and how the planets and stars operate, balanced with how you are experiencing it on earth both viscerally and ceremonially.
Taking inspiration from the ancients who lived in close ceremonial relationship with the land and sky, you’ll experience for yourself the mysteries of the “As Above” and learn how we inform the mysteries as much as they inform us. You’ll learn to develop a living relationship with the sky, and understand it’s “bones” or “structure”, illuminating our place within the greater context of the universe.
You’ll dive into understanding the astrological ages, how the 26,000 year precessional cycle and the Turning of the Ages work, what the Age of Aquarius really is and how it fits into the Turning of the Ages. You’ll discover how to navigate the night sky, gain a deeper understanding of planetary transits, discover your personal stars, and place your chart on the sky.

FAQ
1. Will I learn more about the dawning of the Age of Aquarius?
Yes, but it’s more than that: you will come to understand a far larger context of the Turning of the Ages, and understand the even greater relevance of the 26,000 year precessional cycle, and even larger cycles. You will understand how much more significant the Turning of the Ages is than simply being the Age of Aquarius.
2. Will I become an astronomer?
Though this course includes far more astronomy and cosmology than most astrology courses offer, we are still focused on astrology and ceremony. Our goal is to make astrology experiential and tangible for you. Astronomers generally have a degree from an accredited university, so you will not become one from taking this course. However, we are happy to give you some pertinent education in the field that will improve your overall understanding of the astrological techniques being taught.
3. How does this add to my astrology practice?
You will gain a visceral connection to the night sky that brings the chart from a 2d format into a lived experience. You will find that this skill will enliven your astrology practice for the rest of your life.
4. I live in a city and don’t have a clear view of the night sky – can I still take this course?
Absolutely! No matter where you are, you can still study the material and it will teach you all about the night sky in both hemispheres. However, you will feel inspired to get out and connect with the night sky personally whenever possible. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself researching holiday destinations based on night sky visibility or ancient sites that were based on astronomy and ceremony.
5. How does this fit into the other courses? Why is it part of my astrology certification?
TOTAMS is a unique astronomical and cosmological school with a greater vision than simply astrology. We feel our astrologers should embody the wisdom of the Turning of the Ages and the night sky in their practice.
We recommend taking Course 4: Navigating the Night Sky as the first course in Level 2 certification (though this and Course 5 can be taken in either order). This would be the fourth of five courses to become a Level 2: Fully Initiated TOTAMS Astrologer.
6. Do I need to know about astrology to take this course?
It is recommended that you are already a practicing astrologer or have a general knowledge of astrology to fall back on. However, anyone with a thirst for the technical and ceremonial aspects of cosmology and astronomy is welcome to join.
7. What can I practically do with this information?
The teachings within this course will give you a unique skill set seldom found in other astrology schools. Upon completion, you will be able to bring your astrology practice to another level by being able to show show your clients which specific stars are connected to their personal chart, and which parts of the sky they may find value in building a deeper connection with. You will be able to connect personally to the stars you were born under, bringing your own personal natal chart to life. You will also be able to create sacred ceremonial space for yourself and others, based around visual astronomical alignments and moon cycles.
8. Do I need a telescope or any other equipment to take this course?
No special equipment (including telescopes) is required to take this course (other than your computer or other internet-enabled device, of course). This course will teach you to identify the night sky with your naked eye the way the ancients would have when building temples, pyramids, and standing stone circles way before the technological advancements of telescopes. This is central to the TOTAMS experiential approach.
8. Do you offer refunds?
We offer 30 Day money back guarantee. Contact our customer support for more information.
