Astrological Education
Studying Astrologystrology is an ancient art dating as far back as Babylonian times. Common perception considersastrology to be magical, religious, secret, supernatural or mystical. However, it is a combinationof philosophy and science, with definite rules and specific techniques. Astrology is also an art
where awareness, common sense and personal skills play an important role.
The study of astrology on a serious level requires time and commitment. It requires self-discipline andapplication. In other words, the study of astrology is an experience in hard work and objectivity ratherthan psychic ability. Astrologys primary tenet is that the individual is an integral part of the ebb andflow of the universe. Understanding this ebb and flow as it is reflected in the cycles and patterns of theheavens gives an insight into a persons life and the uniqueness of the individual. At the same time, itprovides a canvas upon which the story of humanity is etched.
The fraternity of astrologers spans many centuries and continues to reach down through the ages.Every generation of astrologers has left their legacy on a body of knowledge whichcontinues to grow ashumanity evolves. As a student of astrology, you will be joining the ranks of many famous people whostudied this ancient discipline, such as Aristotle, Thomas Aquinas, Nicolas Copernicus, JohannesKepler, Michelle Gauquelin and Carl Jung, to name a few.

Astrological Qualificationss with any profession, the question of qualifications and their quality is always an important point forconsideration. Qualifications ensure that the consultant astrologer is trained in a variety oftechniques. This differentiates them from the interested amateur who has basic information gleaned
from books and intermittent attendance at short courses or workshops.
The principals of Astro Mundi have been associated with the Astrological Guild of Educators Internationalsince 1998. They have also assisted in the development of the Guild syllabus at both Certificate and Diplomalevel.
The first step in gaining a professional astrological qualification involves successfully undertaking the AGECertificate of Astrology exam. The sitting of the Guilds Diploma in Astrology after a further two years ofstudy completes the process of gaining professional astrological qualifications.
After successfully gaining the AGE Diploma in Astrology, the consultant astrologer is entitled to:
JOIN the Forum of Professional Astrologers
USE the letters AGE Dip Int . after their name
ADVERTISE their qualifications to establish a practice and
DISPLAY The Guild Imprimatur on their advertising and business correspondence.
The Astrological Guild of Educators International Inc The Astrological Guild of Educators International Inc was established in 1998 andis an independent, non-profit, educational body. Its brief is to conduct andmaintain uniformly high astrological standards at a level acknowledged by theinternational astrological community and to promote understanding andappreciation of all aspects of astrology.
The Guild is an independent organisation and non-aligned with any one particular astrologicalassociation. Instead it maintains a wide network of contacts with astrological educators all over the
world. All Guild members at all levels must uphold the Guilds Code of Ethics.
The Guild offers the following levels of internationally recognised examination:
CERTIFICATE IN ASTROLOGY is available to any one who wishes to undertake thequalifying examination. No prerequisites are necessary although the Guild recommends up totwo years of study.
