Your Astrology Journey Starts Here
Whether you're completely new to astrology, looking to deepen your personal understanding, or considering a future as a professional astrologer, the courses above are designed to help you take the next step with confidence.
At AstroCollege, we believe that great astrologers are built on strong foundations. Just as a house requires solid footings before the walls can be raised, astrology requires a clear understanding of the fundamentals before more advanced techniques can be mastered.
The courses featured above are the current classes available for enrolment and provide the ideal starting point for students at all levels.
From understanding planets, signs, houses and aspects through to chart interpretation and professional consultation skills, each course builds upon the knowledge gained in the previous level.
A Structured Curriculum Since 1997
Below you will find the complete AstroCollege curriculum pathway, beginning with:
- NAT-1 through NAT-7 (Natal Astrology)
- PSM-1 through PSM-5 (Professional Skills Modules)
Together, these subjects form the core of our Professional Astrology Diploma program and represent approximately four years of structured study.
The curriculum has been refined, tested and taught to students around the world since 1997, combining traditional astrological principles with modern applications and professional practice.
Study at Your Own Pace
Not everyone who studies astrology wants to become a professional astrologer, and that's perfectly fine.
Many students enrol simply to better understand themselves, their family, relationships, life cycles, and personal growth. Others begin with a personal interest and later discover a passion for professional practice.
Whatever your goal, AstroCollege allows you to learn step-by-step, building your knowledge in a logical and supportive environment.
Professional Diploma Pathway
Students who complete the full curriculum starting at the Astrology Essentials - Foundation Course for Every Student and then from NAT-1 through NAT-7 and PSM-1 through PSM-5 may continue towards the AstroCollege Professional Astrology Diploma.
To qualify for the Diploma, students must also complete: Two elective subjects of their choice (such as Horary, Electional, Medical Astrology, Jyotish, Vibrational Astrology and others); and a Research Thesis.
This ensures graduates not only possess technical astrological knowledge but also the practical skills, experience and research ability expected of a professional astrologer.
Whether your goal is personal enrichment, professional practice, or simply a deeper understanding of astrology, the curriculum below provides a clear pathway to help you get there.
Below are details of each course in the Natal & Professional Studies Module required to complete the diploma program. If you would like to discuss with us directly what is involved and where you are likely to start with us, you can click the button below and book a call with us to discuss your personal requirements.
