- Little Victoria searched the sky for constellations near Polaris at the big campout.
- Lizzy Vanderpool misplaced many semi-precious antique pearls at the Grand Celebration.
- Annie is meticulous when it comes to licking Valentine’s cards and sending sealed cards and images.
- Lucy’s massive lasagna, sardine, saffron creation always succeeds, despite her penchant for bizarre combos.
- Although the Grand Canyon is beautiful, there are other lesser canyons that are even more so.
- Cancer enjoyed luxury vacations after taking German, sipping sweet chocolate and eating waffles.
- Summers spent canoeing throughout Purrrrrrrsia are a favorite pastime of all the Great Cat Lords.

Yearly Zodiac Contest
Every year in our Experience Astronomy course, we hold a contest in which students must come up with a creative approach to memorize these 12 constellations in order. Every year, the kids come up with new and innovative concepts. A song was composed to the tune of “10 Little Indians” by one of the girls. Some people prefer to write poetry. A smart card game using dice and math was devised by one of the students.

How can I learn astrology from the comfort of my own home?
So you want to learn astrology, a symbolic language that seems to have incredible depth and accuracy in describing the subjective human experience. yay yay yay yay yay I’m delighted you’ve arrived, and I’m here to assist you.
Have you ever attempted to learn a new language? In astrology, knowing the planets, signs, and houses is similar to learning a new language one based on symbols rather than words.
You can’t begin with Shakespeare, as you can’t with any other language. You must first learn the words, then the pattern that connects them. Gradually, with practice, you’ll be able to read and speak this new language more “fluently.”
Make flashcards
I like to use note cards that are 3″ x 5″ or 4″ x 6″ on one side and blank on the other. Draw the glyph for the planet or sign, or the house number, on the unlined side. Make a list of terms for that planet, sign, or house on the lined side. Start with the keywords in this course and add to them as you gain a better understanding of astrology symbols and their meanings.
Making your own flashcards is a terrific way to brush up on your knowledge of the planets, signs, and houses.
You can use the cards to test your knowledge of the meanings of the planets and signs, as well as other basic information. You can also combine them to aid with chart interpretation.
Let’s imagine your Moon is in the sign of Taurus. You’d take your Moon card and your Taurus card and put them together to see how the sign Taurus influences your Moon’s expression, and how it represents your feelings and behaviors.
Review the basics over and over
Studying your own birth chart, as well as the birth charts of the people in your life, is the greatest method to learn astrology. Many charts, especially those of your closest friends and family, may seem confusing at first, and that’s fine. They’ll make more sense as time goes on. Continue to read charts, study, and observe.
You’ll eventually get to more advanced themes like as aspects, transits, progressions, and composite charts. You’ll begin comparing your chart to others’ and learning about connection energetics. Still, don’t forget to go over the fundamentals: planets, signs, and houses. Each of these symbols has several levels of meaning. You’ll be a better chart reader if you know more.
