Spiritual astrology can be defined in very different ways, such as the soul, the self and consciousness. It is an astrology that sees the horoscope as a guide for a life path dedicated to spiritual development, i.e. the spiritual. Much of what is referred to as spiritual astrology often takes place on an esoteric basis, for example as a combination of theosophy, numerology or tarot with astrology, or in medical astrology based on alternative home methods.

The topics of astrological psychology training are about psychological astrology:

• Planets, houses and spatial structures
• Dynamics of the house system, elements and signs
• Inner motivational structure - aspects, aspect figures and aspect image
• Triple personality - family and consciousness models
• Developmental psychology and age progression
• Moon node and house horoscope

An astrologer performs the following advisory activities:

• Support people in their personal development and in shedding light on certain life issues in their private and professional lives
• Work out possible solutions and identify development trends in a discussion based on the horoscopes and your personal life situation
• Advise clients on issues relating to personal development, assessment, career counseling, annual planning and scheduling, educational support, partnerships, etc.

No, you do not need a degree in astrology to work as an astrologer. In most cases, a course is completed that is not federally regulated. If you are looking for serious training, you should carefully examine the various offers and options. All accredited schools are presented on the website of the Swiss Astrologers' Association (SAB).

Those who wish to train in the field of astrology usually do so on a part-time basis, often every two weeks for two days. Due to this low level of intensity, training to become an astrologer therefore takes at least 2 years, and in some schools even 5 years.

The preparatory activities as part of the astrology training are as follows:

• Create birth charts based on date, time and place of birth
• Interpreting horoscopes
• Relate horoscopes to specific questions and situations
• shed light on the opportunities and challenges of certain stages of life based on the current constellations

Astrology training costs between 2,000 and 10,000 francs, depending on the scope and degree. Shorter seminars are sometimes available for as little as 500 francs. Check carefully what is included in the costs - teaching materials, examinations, diplomas, etc. It is important that the training enables you to work as a professional astrologer and offer individual consultations.
