Selfstrology Academy’s focus is on practical application and understanding how astrology plays out in real-life situations. We combine hands-on learning with an interactive online environment for students to learn best.
Live online classes are the most effective ways to see chart interpretations and life applications in action! Experience how charts can be applied into multiple real-life contexts in student-instructor interactions. Classes are recorded and all students receive recordings for their review.
Prior to the course, you will receive your course package which includes your course textbook in both printed and digital copies, along with pre-recorded lessons on the digital Learning Management System (LMS) with your own personal login.
Astrology is best learnt from seeing the behaviours and reactions from real people. In class, you get the opportunity to see and hear from other participants when they share their experiences and perspectives. You get to discover how the astrological chart comes to life.
On the course Telegram group, you’ll be able to ask questions as well as interact and discuss astrology with other fellow coursemates. The instructor and course administrators will also be available to provide any additional guidance and support on the chat.

Apprentices will face genuine clients presenting with real-world concerns in a mock consultation environment. Apprentices will undergo training in preparation for consultation, identifying areas of focus and consultation objectives, as well as structuring consultation procedures.

Not all clients will be able to access an accurate birth time for themselves, due to a myriad of reasons, and this affects the accuracy of chart interpretations. Professional astrologers must be able to rectify charts, working backwards using factual life historical events to ascertain the correct birth time.
Apprentice astrologers will practice this in the hands-on module on real clients with inaccurate birth times.
Apprentice astrologers will accompany the instructor in a marketing scenario where astrologers must deliver their services in real-time to real-world clients.

Yes! In fact, quite a number of past apprentice astrologers had existing practices prior to enrolling in the Professional Astrologer’s Programme. Most of our apprentice astrologers had faced challenges in applying astrology to real life situations and also in their effectiveness in helping clients, so were seeking a structured astrology programme that focussed on helping professionals to help their clients.
In some cases, it may be possible to do the programme partially, and requests are approved on a case-by-case basis. Do note, however, that incomplete participation may result in the apprentice not qualifying for certification.
The consultation techniques taught in the Professional Astrologer’s Programme is heavily dependent on the Psychological Astrology model and its profiles, and several other proprietary concepts taught in the basic classes, that are not taught in other knowledge sources, so we only accept applications from graduates of our Psychological Astrology course.
Students who have completed diploma programmes with the International Academy of Astrology (IAA), London School of Astrology (LSA), Kepler College, and other established astrology institutions may be eligible for exemption from the basic classes. Do contact our administrators at hello@selfstrology.com to check if you can qualify for an exemption.
