Certification - Level 1

PSYCHOLOGICAL ASTROLOGY CERTIFICATION PROGRAM

INTRODUCTORY LEVEL

Developmental Psychology model applied to psycho-spiritual phases of life integrating Psychology & Astrology in the understanding of human existence.

JUNE 2024 - NOV 2025 - PROGRAM FULL


NEXT COHORT JANUARY 2025

What Makes This Program Unique?

  • We use the chakra model as a psychospiritual, developmental lens to delineate the many phases of life for a human being. With those lenses, we look at Natal Charts considering people’s personality development and their capacity to open up and connect to their soul and their spirituality.

  • We study and explore the importance of understanding the definition, meaning, and application of mythology and archetypal lenses in our lives.

  • In this program, our ultimate goal is to open the possibilities of bringing higher levels and octaves of existence to our human life. We study and apply models of esoteric and soul-centered astrology.

  • Students will have access to resources, information, and tools that will help them further their Psychological growth (for their personality) and spiritually (for their soul). These resources include meditations, extensive literature, and exercises.

  • Individualized attention and guidance with exercises and feedback tailored to each student’s level of knowledge and expertise.

IS THIS PROGRAM FOR YOU?

You could be a therapist that wants to learn and bring astrology to your practice, or an astrologer that wants to bring the psychological lens to your practice. Or you could have a personal interest in astrology and psychospiritual growth, that you want to explore with a like-minded community. Come and join us.

TESTIMONIAL

“Being a member of Lighted House under the tutelage of Meire and Bruna has not only increased my knowledge of astrology as both a healing modality and spiritual practice, but it has also expanded my understanding, application, & resulting higher self-esteem & clarity due to the residual awareness & self-growth that comes with these ever-timely teachings.”

I began studying with Meire and Bruna and my deepening of my knowledge of astrology has changed and grown tremendously because of their guidance and wisdom. Not only do I feel more confident as an astrologer, but I feel like I have gained a beautiful community of friends and like-minded practitioners that has changed my daily life. I am truly grateful.”
