THE HORARY APPRENTICESHIP
This is a top-level course in horary astrology, taught by a master of the subject (The Mountain Astrologer) who is a wonderful
teacher (FAI Journal) with students worldwide.
Horary is the art of finding specific answers to specific questions by means of astrology. It involves precise, verifiable predictions.
Unlike much astrology, there is no vagueness; it is clear and to the point. This is astrology that works and can be seen to work. In
my practice, I find that many of my clients have had natal readings - they have heard a lot about themselves, but have not received
an answer to the immediate issue that concerns them. This is the role of horary: it will tell you whether the relationship will work out,
when the cheque will arrive, where those lost papers are, or if and when the cat will come home.
The purpose of this course is simple: it is to take you to a point where you can judge horary charts with a good degree of
reliability. My aim is to make you proficient in horary, not just to pass you through the course, so you do have to get things right:
this course is demanding. But the level of tutorial support you receive is equalled by few and surpassed by none. The clarity,
simplicity and precision of tuition invariably surpass the student's expectations: "I've learnt more in six months with you than in
twenty years of astrological study elsewhere," is a typical comment. Or, as another said: "On every course I have ever done, once
I had paid my money all that they wanted to do was pass me through to a diploma as quickly as possible. This is the first time I
have felt that someone really wants to teach me something." Even those students who regard horary as only a sideline to their
interest in natal astrology find the course transforms the way they look at a chart, giving them tools for a precision of judgement
they would not have believed possible. I have a limited number of places on a course in Traditional Natal Astrology for graduates of
this course who wish to study further.
There are plenty of courses and innumerable websites where you can soak in a warm bath of astro-speak, safely within the
comfort-zone of what you (think you) already know. But if you want to stretch yourself, to be challenged and made to think hard,
while all the time being supported as you rise to these challenges by a dedicated and painstaking teacher, you have found one of
the few places where this is possible. It is my belief that being stretched and made to think is fun; if you share this view, come on
in.
In sum: there are easier courses and there are cheaper courses. If you want a course that you can muddle through and still end
up with a diploma, you are in the wrong place. If you want to learn horary, this is for you.
The Syllabus:
Each lesson points you towards some reading, mostly from William Lillys Christian Astrology and my Horary Textbook, then
gives questions on that material and, from lesson 5 onwards, set charts on those subjects. These questions are not a test, but
are to show me what you dont understand so that I can make sure that you do understand it. At first this is usually by my
explaining the puzzling points; as you advance through the course it is less by me explaining than by me nudging you towards a
position from where you can work it out for yourself. Knowledge sticks in the head very much better if you work it out for
yourself than it does if someone tells you. So where the tuition takes place is in the dialogue as mails go back and forth until

FAQ:
How long does the course take?
You work at your own pace. I encourage students to send work regularly, but I realise that life sometimes has its own ideas
about our schedules. How quickly students progress through the course depends, then, not only upon their personal
aptitude, but on what turns life takes. The fastest students complete the course in a matter of months; other take several
years. 18 months to 2 years would be about average.
I have little knowledge of astrology
This is no problem at all. I have taken complete beginners successfully through the course. There are, indeed, certain
advantages in coming to this study without prior knowledge: it is much easier to get sound ideas into the students head than
it is to flush unsound ideas out.
English is not my first language
And it is not the first language of around 50% of my students, so this is no obstacle. If you can understand this page, you
should be able to cope with the course.
Ive completed the (whichever) course in horary. Can I skip the early lessons in your course?
No. Ive made this mistake before, and invariably found that there is much that needs clarifying precisely those things that

are dealt with in the early lessons. Everyone starts at the beginning.
There are internet forums where I can learn horary
You will not learn astrology by taking part in internet forums. The laws of astrology are no more a matter of opinion than is
the law of gravity.
Will you cast a horary to see if I will succeed in the course?
No. It would be like asking a horary on whether I will do my job properly. My job is to teach, and Im good it. All you need do
is stay on the bus: so long as you do that, I will find a way to get you to the destination.
Fees:
The course costs 2260 (around 3850 $US dollars, 4100 $AU) for two years. Fees are non-returnable, and may be paid as
four instalments of 600 (around 1000 $US, 1100 $AU) if preferred. I take payment by PayPal or bank transfer. It is possible to
fail without completion if work is repeatedly below standard. Please note that the exchange rates given here are for guidance
only: they are subject to fluctuation. Textbooks are not included: the student should expect to spend around 90 on books
during the course.
