The Principles of Basic Astrology course is designed to introduce students to the fascinating world of astrology and astrology fundamentals, to provide them with the necessary knowledge in order for them to confidently pursue their studies in the other branches of astrology. The Principles of Basic Astrology course is based mainly on the traditional techniques that we have inherited from the astrologers of antiquity, but of course, the course refers to the principles that govern modern astrology, as well.
These astrology classes are aimed at beginner astrologers of all ages, who are taking their first steps in the exploration of astrology, but also at those who already have astrological knowledge and want to enrich it or deepen it further, especially with regard to the basic traditional astrological principles, which are essential whether one wants to engage either in modern or traditional astrology.
This course ensures that the students will follow the right path in studying astrology, without having to buy additional books to help them take their first steps. Apart from this, it is better to study astrology with a mentor, as astrology is essentially empirical. Therefore, the students will be taught, everything they need to know, and much more, in order for them to not only use and apply this knowledge to their daily lives, but also professionally, as these lessons will prepare them, offering the 'foundations' needed, for them to become successful professionals in the field of astrology.
The syllabus of the Principles of Basic Astrology lessons is the result of long-term study and research by Vasilios Takos and all the information offered is the result of long-term astrological experience. The lessons are written in a simple, easy and comprehensible way, so that the material can be effectively absorbed and thus fully meet each student’s educational needs. Rich diagrams and examples are included in the material, enhancing the students’ comprehension and accelerating the learning progress. To attend this course, students do not need to buy any accompanying book, as everything they might need is provided within the lessons.
It is a priority for me to maintain the highest possible quality in the course in terms of material, diagrams, presentations, graphics and sound, so that the students can take their first steps in the field of astrology, acquiring solid astrological ‘foundations’ through the lessons, in a complete and enjoyable way and successfully prepare for the other branches of astrology (Horary, Natal, Electional, Medical, Mundane, etc.).
In detail, the students will be taught:
The lessons are pre-recorded and provided in the English language, utilising the most efficient way of teaching. The students can watch the videos and study the material (in PDF form) at their own pace, as there are no live online meetings. They have unlimited access time to the course portal, where the lessons are perfectly organised, easily accessible and easily adaptable to each individual student's schedule. The students can watch the pre-recorded lesson videos with the detailed information they offer, as many times as they wish. They can receive answers from Vasilios Takos, to any possible questions they might have, regarding, exclusively, the lesson material, after they submit their questions to the specific school forum.
Astrology has always been Vasilios' passion from an early age. He has studied astrology in depth, conducting long-term research related to ancient Greek astrological texts (by Ptolemy, Dorotheus, Theophilus etc.), but also Persian and Arabic astrological texts (by Ibn Ezra, Māsh'āllāh, Abū Ma'shar et al.). He prefers to integrate and apply his astrological knowledge, methods and techniques, to his own daily life, firstly, and consequently to provide them to anyone who asks him for advice/session. His passion for astrology prompts him to constantly keep himself updated, keep studying, attend international astrological conferences and constantly expand his astrological knowledge.
Since February 2020 he is the official representative of the STA school (School of Traditional Astrology) in Greece, where he exclusively teaches the Practitioners Level Horary Course of the STA in Greek. Vasilios Takos is the author of the Principles of Basic Astrology and Master's Degree Certification in Natal Astrology courses, which he started teaching in May 2022.
