Astrology for Self-Discovery
Astrology is an ancient and esoteric science that can assist and guide an individual through self-growth and evolution. It is a study of the planets and where they are in the sky at any given moment in time. Through looking at a person’s date, time and place of birth we can explore and uncover important knowledge and information that answers the above questions, and more. It is truly a journey of self-discovery.
Colleen Lemma is an internationally known intuitive reader, astrologer, life coach, certified hypnosis and past life regression consultant, Reiki energy healer, and spiritual teacher.
Currently, her Astrology for Self-Discovery Curriculum includes seven courses that cover the Basics, the Houses, the Planets, Aspects, Solar Returns, Transits, and Progression. Each 8-week (16 hours) course builds the students' understanding of astrology and their skill level. Completion of Astrology for Self-Discovery Levels 1-7 equals a total of 112 hours of study.
