It's frustrating. You know that astrology can be a powerful tool for insight, transformation

and personal growth, and yet no matter how many times you try, you can never quite get

a handle on it. If you're like most people, you've got a library

full of books on astrology, covering planets, signs, houses, aspects and more, but you still

don't know how to interpret a birth chart. You may have attended astrology lectures,

workshops and classes, and learned dozens of different techniques, and yet still find

yourself at a loss when you have to come up with your own interpretations.

No matter how many years you've been studying astrology, you still can't unlock the secrets

of the birth chart. But it's not your fault. Until now, just about

everyone has been approaching astrology in the wrong way.

My name is Kevin B. Burk, and I'm the headmaster of The Real Astrology Academy. I've been counseling

professionally as an astrologer since 1996, I've been teaching astrology since 1999, and

I have clients and students around the world. I hold a Level IV certification in Astrological

Counseling from NCGR, I'm the author of 10 books (so far), and my website, TheRealAstrology.com

is one of the premiere astrology resources on the Internet.

In this brief video, I'll reveal why you don't have the skills of a talented astrologer — and

show you how you can get them in as little as three months.

In order to become proficient at astrology, you have to understand that astrology is a

language. Becoming fluent in astrology is no different than becoming fluent in a foreign

language. I studied French for five years in school.

By the time I graduated, I could read French (and understand most of what I read), but

after five years of formal classroom study in a foreign language, I still couldn't have

a conversation in French that didn't involve asking for directions to the library.

The fact is that traditional methods of teaching language in the classroom flat out don't work.

And neither do traditional methods of teaching astrology.

Virtually every astrology class you will ever take focuses on vocabulary. You have to memorize

tremendous amounts of information about planets, signs, houses and aspects. What you don't

learn is how to put them together to form coherent sentences. Instead of studying the

grammar and syntax of the language of astrology, you memorize phrases and keywords. You think

you understand how everything fits together, but when it comes time for you to do your

own interpretations, you realize all you can do is ask for directions to the library.

Astrology is a tool. And a tool that you can't use is worthless.

That's why I created The Real Astrology Academy. The classes and programs I offer through The

Real Astrology Academy focus exclusively on practical astrology. You will actually use

everything that you learn here. It doesn't matter if you're brand new to astrology,

or if you've been studying it for years. If you're not fluent in the language of astrology,

that means there's something missing from your astrology education. You don't need to

learn new tools or techniques. What's missing from your astrology education is a solid foundation.

You need a systematic approach that guides you, step-by-step, through each stage of creating

an interpretation. You need to know how to pull the symbols and information out of the

chart. You need to know how to turn those symbols into a blueprint, made up of grammatically-correct

sentences in the language of astrology. And finally, you need to know how to translate

that blueprint into a detailed, specific, practical interpretation.

The only place you can learn these skills is in The Real Astrology Academy's Online

Natal Astrology Class. I promise you, you have never experienced

an astrology class like this before. I've spent the past few years analyzing and researching

the precise skills that make someone a talented astrologer. But more importantly, I've also

discovered how to teach those skills. Every astrology class teaches you about planets,

signs, houses and aspects — and you'll learn those here, too. What makes this class absolutely

unique is what else you'll learn: Grammar and Syntax of the Language of Astrology

The Astrological Archetypes Essential Dignities and the Board of Directors

The Context of Consciousness Grammar and Syntax in the Language of Astrology

The Real Astrology Academy's Online Natal Astrology Class is the only place where you

will learn how to work with the grammar and syntax in the language of astrology.

The planets in astrology are the nouns and the verbs. They tell you who and what. The

planets are the most important part of speech in the language of astrology. You can't create

a sentence in the language of astrology unless it contains a planet.

The signs modify the expression of the planets. Signs are the adjectives and adverbs in the

language of astrology. They tell you how and why.

It's critical that you understand that what matters in astrology are the planets. Signs

modify the expression of a planet, but they don't change the nature of the planet. Saturn

is always Saturn. Saturn will always care about boundaries, limitations, rules and structures.

When Saturn is in the watery, fluid, formless and unfocused sign of Pisces, Saturn doesn't

stop caring about boundaries and responsibilities. Saturn in Pisces just isn't very good at enforcing

them. In the first half of the Online Natal Astrology

Class, you'll learn how to combine planets and signs to form basic, simple sentences

that have something important to say. And once you've mastered the simple sentences,

you'll learn to combine them to form more complex sentences.

The houses are the last major part of speech in the language of astrology. Houses are the

prepositions — they tell you where. But the houses can also be combined to form prepositional

phrases. These allow you to build very complex sentences that organize and contain a great

deal of information. The rules of grammar and syntax help you to

arrange the different components of the chart in the correct relationship. For example,

there's an important difference between the houses a planet rules and the house that planet

occupies. It's a little tricky to grasp, but once you do, it's like the whole chart snaps

into focus. When you master the basic grammar and syntax

of the language of astrology, you will be able to create your own detailed, specific,

and practical interpretations with ease.

The Astrological Archetypes I've developed a new system of astrology,

called Archetypal Astrology, and it will make your chart come to life. Almost literally.

In this system, the seven personal planets are the Astrological Archetypes and they all

live inside you. Mars isn't in the sky, or in your chart. Mars is one of the seven voices

in your head. (If you don't believe me, wait until the next time someone cuts you off in

traffic, and then say hello to Mars — he's the one honking the horn and making the rude

hand gestures.) Don't worry. The context may be new, but the

astrology isn't. In fact, you'll be using classical astrology techniques that have been

proven for thousands of years. You'll just learn how to apply those classical techniques

in a way that's relevant to your life, today. So let me introduce you to the Astrological

Archetypes. The Sun (The Hero), is your "Big S" Self.

You encounter the Sun through your Personal Standards of Integrity.

Saturn (The Judge), represents your judgments and your shadow. Saturn shows up as your "Inner

Parent." The Moon (The Reflection) is in charge of

your Safety Needs, as well as your feelings and emotions. The Moon runs your Emotional

Guidance System, and is a critical component of your happiness.

Mars (The Warrior) is your "little s" self, and your ego/body. Mars is how you take action,

how you go after the things that you want, and how you experience the energy of anger.

Venus (The Beloved), on the other hand, shows you what you truly love and appreciate. You

encounter Venus when you align with your Core Values.

Mercury (The Storyteller) is in charge of how you experience your "little r" reality.

Everything that you experience as "real" is simply a story you tell yourself. When you

change the words, you change the world. And finally, Jupiter (The Dreamer), is how

you grow and expand, and how you advance in consciousness by expanding the context of

your story. This is how you get from where you are now, to happy.

What makes this system so useful is that it helps you to create personal references for

each of the planets. You won't have to wonder what Venus cares about in a given situation,

and you won't have to look it up in a book somewhere. If you want to know what Venus

cares about, you can just go inside yourself and ask her.

The system of archetypal astrology helps you to truly know the planets, on a deep and fundamental

level, without memorization and study. And when you have mastered the seven personal

planets, you know about 80% of what you need to be fluent in the language of astrology.

Essential Dignities and the Board of Directors The Essential Dignities are the heart of Classical

Astrology — and the secret of detailed, specific, and practical interpretations. What's

unique about the Online Natal Astrology Class is that this is the only place where you will

learn how to work with the Essential Dignities in the context of the birth chart, in a way

that is both current and empowering. When you work with Essential Dignities in

predictive astrology, what you care about is the relative "strength" or condition of

the planet itself. This information is extremely important in horary and Electional astrology,

but it has no practical value in natal astrology. In natal astrology, what matters is the Board

of Directors. Think of each sign as a corporation.

A corporation is involved in a particular type of business. The element and modality

of the sign tell you what that business is. For example, Libra is a Cardinal Air sign.

Because it's a Cardinal sign, Libra is concerned with the question of individual identity.

Because it's an Air sign, Libra operates on the mental, intellectual, abstract and social

realm, and is largely concerned with making connections.

A corporation has a CEO, who is the public face of the company. The Ruler of the sign

is the CEO. But a corporation also has a Board of Directors.

The planets that have Essential Dignity for the specific degree of a sign make up the

members of the Board of Directors for that degree. The Board Members operate behind the

scenes, and influence the policies that the CEO shares with the public. As powerful as

the CEO is, the Board of Directors can sometimes out-vote the CEO.

Each Board Member has a fixed number of votes, depending on which Essential Dignity they

represent. The Ruler (CEO) gets 5 votes; the planet with Exaltation gets 4 votes; the planet

with Triplicity gets 3 votes; the planet with Term gets 2 votes; and the planet with Face

gets 1 vote. It's common for one planet to hold multiple

seats on the board, which gives that planet additional votes. For example, Saturn is Exalted

in Libra, giving Saturn a minimum of 4 votes on the Board of Directors. In a day cart,

however, Saturn also has Triplicity, which gives Saturn an extra 3 votes for a total

of 7 votes — enough to overrule the CEO (Venus) with only 5 votes on the board.

What this means is that a planet in Libra where Saturn has control of the Board of Directors

will express differently than a planet in Libra where Venus is in charge.

Do you see how valuable this information is? You will never again need to look up a cookbook

definition of a planet in a sign. You'll be able to identify nuanced, specific details

with ease. I have personally developed this unique approach

to working with classical astrology in the birth chart, and you will only find this information

in The Real Astrology Academy. The Context of Consciousness

The biggest challenge for most astrologers is that astrology does not predict behavior.

Even the simplest sentence in the language of astrology, a planet in a sign, can express

in a nearly infinite number of ways. Mars in Aries could be violent, impulsive and abusive,

or it could be a pioneering, courageous leader. How you experience the energies in your chart

depends on your level of consciousness. Consciousness can be defined as the vibrational

frequency of your thoughts, but that doesn't begin to describe how important it is.

In the Online Natal Astrology Class, you'll learn how to work with the Map of Human Consciousness™

developed by Dr. David R. Hawkins, and the model of the Kingdoms of Consciousness popularized

by Rev. Michael Beckwith. Which Kingdom of Consciousness you're in determines

if you experience a facet of your chart as supportive and exciting, or traumatic and

painful. And most importantly, when you understand the levels of consciousness and how they relate

to astrology, you have the secret to transforming a negative experience into a positive one.
