My teachers

I am self-taught, meaning I have not taken any official courses in astrology. I have learned most from reading, listening to, and talking to other astrologers, and I have studied a wide variety of material from practitioners and scholars within the field. Here are some of the ones I've learned the most from and cherish the most, as well as books and podcasts I recommend.

Chris Brennan

Chris Brennan wrote the book Hellenistic Astrology: The Study of Fate and Fortune and hosts The Astrology Podcast. I have learned from the book and the podcast but also attended his lectures, eg at NORWAC.

Demetra George

Demetra George has written several books on astrology and given many lectures. She is one of the scholars behind the revival and translation of ancient Hellenic writings on astrology. I have learned most from the books and interviews with her.

Sam Reynolds has given countless lectures, workshops, been a guest on podcasts and is active in the online astrology community. I have learned a lot from him through all these mediums.

Samuel F. Reynolds

I have learned a lot from this school through their podcast, social media and articles even though I have not attended their full time course.
