Student Resources

 

Please note that a new page has been added for students – Student Information this page is updated with news, events, course updates and announcements, check it regularly or bookmark it.

 

Articles

The articles available on or through this site should be considered as required reading for students of The Traditional Horary Course. Foundation Level students may find some of the material to be too advanced, but it can be returned to at a later stage.

These articles are intended as supplements to the courses and your tutor will assume that you have read and understood them.

The Study Guide

For students of both courses The Study Guide is available by clicking here . It provides important information on how to proceed in your studies and should be read before beginning work. This is essential reading for Diploma level students.

(By clicking on the above link with the right button on your mouse, you will be able to download the file for reading or printing later. The pop-up menu will give you the option to "Save" the file to your hard drive.)

Christian Astrology

The first two books of Christian Astrology (An  Introduction to Astrology and The Resolution of all manner of Questions) are available as MS Word 97 and 2000 files (respectively) from http://mithras93.tripod.com/books/books.html . These files have been transcribed from the 1647 edition and can be searched and printed. The same site offers other books of the pre-1700 period in the same format.

These are free downloads for personal use only.

On-line study sessions and tutorials

Sue Ward will be facilitating on-line free Chat sessions for students of both courses. As communicating via Chat can sometimes be difficult with several people typing messages at once, numbers will be limited to six participants for each session. Time zone differences can usually be accommodated.

The aim of these sessions is to provide students with direct contact with Sue Ward, and the stimulation of the input of other students. These sessions are to give you the opportunity to put your questions to Sue, and respond to the points raised by other participants. If you are interested in taking part, e-mail Sue Ward.

We will be investigating the possibility of utilising on-line conferencing for lectures, discussions, and classes. For this you will need voice capabilities by way of a PC microphone.

Classes and Workshops

For those able to attend in the UK, these can be arranged  and tailored to cover the course syllabus, or other areas. If you are visiting the UK, contact Sue Ward well in advance if you are seeking to link up with other students for the purpose of a class or workshop. Fees can be found on the Services page.

Sue Ward will also be teaching classes in Lisbon beginning in November 2003. Details can be obtained from mail@espaco-astrologia.com (English spoken), or from their web site www.espaco-astrologia.com when dates have been confirmed.

Assistance with Personal Horaries

Personal horaries are those which you are not submitting as part of your course work, but with which you still need help. Both Ruth Baker and Sue Ward are prepared to undertake this work, which attracts a fee of £30.00. NB: You should have attempted judgement before requesting help, and be able to present your work.

This facility can often be used to form the basis of private tutorials. For those who are not students of our courses, the full fee applies as either a horary judgement or private tuition.

Co-ordinates and Sunrise and Sunset Times

A student has given me the following very helpful information. To obtain precise geographic co-ordinates off the internet go to www.multimap.com or a similar site, enter the place name or post code then click "Find". Scroll down to find the latitude and longitude of the place.

To calculate manually the planetary hour local sunrise and sunset times are required. In the Google or Yahoo search field, enter "sunrise sunset times [place name], then click "Search". A list of web sites will be shown offering this information.
