Many traditions make use of rituals and the methods of the sacred sciences to gain guidance, to extrapolate the future, and to understand the deeper forces at work in creating what will be. Of course, differences of belief and culture will express as differences in how divination, prophecy, and oracular vision are used and viewed, but there are connecting threads that relate to the nature of these practices. Divination, prophecy, and oracular vision have qualitative and quantitative similarities and differences. This class will explore the spectrum of what we call divination, prophecy, and oracular vision.

You’ve probably heard of the 12 animals of the eastern zodiac wheel. In this class, we will cover not only what the animals are and how they relate to each other, we will also explore how the five elements can influence a person’s life as well as their relationships in romance, business, and even friendships. We will also cover karmic numerology (mewas), and how the nine karmic relations between lifetimes influence your astrological reading. We will also explore how each person’s trigrams/parkhas rotate throughout the year and how its astrological system can be taken advantage of to improve one’s day-to-day life. This course will be a combination of the two main astrological systems applied in East Asia: the Chinese system and its sphere of influence (Korea, Manchuria, Vietnam, Japan, and parts of southeast Asia), and the Tibetan system and its sphere of influence (Mongolia, Central Asia, Turkic & Tungusic Siberia).
