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.

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.

Astrological psychology training combines psychological knowledge with astrological principles. The focus is on personality development, self-knowledge and the analysis of individual potential. The following topics are typical components of the training:

• Planets, houses and spatial structures - the basis for understanding astrological relationships
• Dynamics of the house system, elements and zodiac signs - basis for individual interpretations
• Inner motivational structure - aspects, aspect figures and the aspect image as a mirror of inner drives
• Triple personality - linking family models and consciousness development
• Developmental psychology and age progression - astrological guidance through different phases of life
• Moon node and house horoscope - analysis of karmic themes and individual life direction

This training offers a holistic approach to astrological interpretation and helps to better recognize and classify psychological patterns.

Please note: The exact content may vary from school to school. To be sure which topics are covered at a particular educational institution, it is advisable to make a direct inquiry. A contact form is available for this purpose, which automatically forwards inquiries to the respective school.

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.

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).
