10 Segments

Online videos or On-Location
Longer immersion studies (20 to 40 hours of material each)

Segment A: Astrology Fundamentals: Signs, Planets, Houses.

An essential overview of Astrology fundamentals for both beginners and advanced students. This segment will provide you with a solid foundations to understand the components of a chart, from an evolutionary point of view: History, Elements/Modes, Signs, Planets, Houses, Astronomy references.

Segment B: Moon and Venus Cycles

We explore in depth the meanings and cycle of the Moon and Venus placements in every sign/house. Chart analysis study and practice.

Segment C: Mars Cycle, and Aspects between Planets

We learn about Aspects between planets and how to interpret them, along with an in-depth study about the planet Mars in the chart.

Segment 1: PART I: The Nodal Axis and Eclipses (the axis of Evolution)

PART II: The Soul Age (The Evolutionary Levels of Consciousness)

Eclipses and Nodal Axis of the Moon. The Nodal Axis captures the core emotional and evolutionary needs of the soul journey. It is a relatively simple equation but incomparable in its precision and depth. We will explore the classic dynamics of the Nodal Axis, as well as its particularities when planets form aspects to the axis. This segment includes a whole section on the influence of Eclipses and their relation to the Nodal Axis.

In the second part, we define the levels of the soul’s evolution and soul age to identify how the same chart can express itself differently through the various evolutionary stages. It is absolutely essential to understand these dynamics in order to accurately analyze a chart and provide effective counselling.

Segment 2: Neptune, the 12th house, Pisces (The Unifying Principle of Life)

In Segment 2, Maurice presents his revolutionary perspective of Neptune, the 12th house, & Pisces. Neptune represents the beginning and ending of all processes; thus, it contains the most primal needs and instincts along with all the clues about our existential well-being and happiness. The placement of Neptune in every house and sign will be discussed in order to understand the complexities of its influence.

Segment 3: Uranus & Pluto (The Evolution of Consciousness – Shadow Work and Self-Realization)

Uranus and Pluto are the two outer planets that instigate progress and evolution towards the self-realization.

Uranus symbolizes our highest achievement resulting from the expansion of our awareness; how that fosters intelligence and creativity and allow us to decode life’s mysteries. We will explore this fascinating archetype to understand where we play God, and actually become Gods. Uranus represents the height of civilization and its shadows!

Pluto represents the soul’s need to outgrow its own limitations, exposing the soul to its deepest vulnerabilities in order to change and heal; it represents the evolution of our emotional body – where everything is imprinted.

Segment 4: Chart Interpretation I (Practical Tools and Chart Reading Practice) – Sometimes available on-location

In segment 4, we put knowledge into practice and learn to synthesize the chart elements in a cohesive and meaningful way. Practicing in person is essential to the learning experience. In this segment, each participant analyzes the chart of another class participant. With Maurice’s guidance, both counselor and counselee gain tremendous insight as the chart magically comes to life – a truly revealing and empowering experience. Usually between eight to ten charts are read, allowing participants to gain an understanding of their own chart and lives, as well as others. We discuss the Aspects between planets and planetary cycles.

Segment 5: Relationships and Sexuality in Astrology (Evolutionary Dynamics of Relationships)

In segment 5, we focus on the different dimensions of relationship dynamics. Why have two souls come together? What is the potential of a given relationship and the inclinations of the individuals involved? How do we create healthy and growth-related relationships? We explore different relationship dynamics including emotional and sexual needs and identify compatibility in the chart. The segment includes the study of synastry and composite charts to identify the dynamics, needs, and evolutionary lessons in relationships.

Segment 6: Transit, Secondary Progressions & Solar Arc (Analysis of Future Cycles) – Sometimes available on-location

In segment 6 we learn to analyse future cycles and forecast. The methods we use are Transits, Solar Arc, and Secondary Progression. We review participants’ life events as examples to understand the technicalities as well as the karmic implications of the different life circumstances, to identify how certain events can be seen in the person’s chart.

Solar Arc and Secondary Progressions, are probably the most effective predictive technique.

Segment 7: Counseling Skills and Advanced Chart Interpretation (Precision and Compassion in chart analysis)

In Segment 7, we improve our chart analysis skills, and importantly, learn to get to core chart dynamics without excessive preparation. This includes the practice of “speed readings” where participants are challenged to addresses chart analysis with progressively less preparation time.

We also address the psychology of counselling and the ways to respond to the needs of client and their different personalities, focusing on ethics, boundaries, and effective communication, to ultimately provide a deeply valuable reading for the client.

Participants are invited to do three readings with clients they have never met before. Provided that all the course requirements have been completed and that the three readings are successful, the student is then certified!

Vocational Orientation in the Chart: Professional Capacity and Success

Maurice has developed a unique method to identify vocational orientation and capacity in a chart. This important subject matter will help participants provide the most effective guidance in professional domains.

Astrology is a powerful tool for preventive medicine—during this workshop we learn to associate astrological signatures with medical conditions and then discuss diets, treatments, and lifestyles that support health and preventive approaches.

The Ascendant: Understanding the Angles and the Ascendant

A fresh perspective that helps to understand the angles in a chart and specifically the Ascendant sign. We explore the direct correlation between the Ascendant and the sign that opens the 12th house cusp.

Retrograde Planets: Retrograde Cycles and Meanings

Unique insights into the retrograde phenomenon in a chart. Maurice provides a fresh perspective to understand retrograde cycles and meanings.

Jupiter: Truth and Dare

The largest planet in the Solar system is all about expansion, yet, Jupiter stands for our most important sense of meaning in life. We will review Jupiter in each house and sign.

Saturn: Time and the Karmic Wheel

We discuss the meaning of karma and the association of Saturn with the reality of time in the chart. Saturn is positioned in every house and sign to clarify these fascinating spiritual principles.

Chiron: Complete analysis of Chiron’s Influence in a Chart

Beyond doubt, Chiron has proven its powerful influence in the chart. In this workshop, we discuss the evolutionary dynamics associated with this unordinary body and position it in every house and sign.

Asteroids: Ceres, Juno, Hygeia, and more . . .

We explore Asteroids Ceres, Juno, Hygeia and Dawrf Planets: Makemake, Eris, and Haumea.

Past lives and Reincarnation in the Natal Chart

Are we reincarnating? And if so, can astrology reveal where we are coming from? An important and fascinating study to understand how astrology is a reliable tool to trace the evolution of consciousness through lives.

Locational Astrology – Astrology of Geography, how you chart is activated in different parts of the globe.

While the place of our birth remains the reference for our chart all through our life, our chart is activated differently in different parts of the globe. We learn the different systems to identify the effect of location on our development.

Night Sky, Astronomy, and Myth – Astronomy for Astrologers

Astrology is based on both astronomical references and archetypal symbolism. We explore what really makes Astrology what it is, and learn about the night sky.

Electional Astrology – Finding auspicious dates for important events.

Astrology is one of the most sophisticated tools to understand timing. Finding the right date for an event in accordance with the natal chart significantly increases the chances for a positive outcome. This can be applied for example to:

  • Medical Procedures
  • Launching a new business
  • Relocation
  • Wedding
  • Any important event

It is the art of aligning our lives with the cosmic clock!

Parenting and the Charts of Teens and Children

Analyzing the chart of children can be of tremendous help for parents who need to direct them in the most supportive way in their soul journey. Yet it is a delicate process to approach important themes without obstructing the children’s natural growth.

Maurice provides guidance to identify the gift and challenges on both personal and generational levels.

Midpoints in Astrology

Advanced Level Workshop

The middle distance between two planets is called a MIDPOINT. They hold tremendous importance and power when used through the Natal Chart, Transits, and Solar Arcs. We will understand how to use and interpret them.

Essential Dignities

Traditional astrology texts classify planetary placements according to favorable/strong (domicile and exalted) and unfavorable/weak (detriment, fall) sign placements.

Yet Evolutionary Astrology relies on the premise that ANY planetary placement has spiritual intent, and therefore, no placement can inherently be considered favorable or unfavorable. Each placement has the same potential for successes and failures. So how do Dignities work in Evolutionary Astrology, if at all?

Maurice shares his perspective from years of observation, describing the parameters where Dignities can be used to understand the soul journey, and included under the Evolutionary umbrella.

Testimonials

L.P. (Washington)

I loved it of course! I don’t even think that I have the words describe how much I liked it. There are so many things that are meaningful to me.

I appreciate Maurice’s way of going through things—his interest and ability to go through the material again and again. I think that he does a really good job of responding to people’s questions and comments.

Y.P.

I’ve been listening for 28 mins. and I’m taking a short break. I must say this aloud: I’ve *never* in my life heard someone talking so clearly and accurately and sharply about the deepest human emotions and this most obscure domain of human mentality as Maurice does, making the whole embroidery so obvious and lucid. I am short of words and completely and utterly stunned and most deeply grateful.
August 24, 2018 (Relationship course)

N.R. (California)

Finding reliable teachers who have real wisdom, deep insight, robust integrity and an enduring commitment to the truth, has been a challenge.

I met Maurice and studied with him for the first time at a conference in Monterey, California. I came away feeling filled up, inspired, exhilarated! I knew after that experience that I had found a true and noble teacher.

J.T. (Massachusetts)

The Professional Training Program of the Complete Course is a holistic experience that provides a superb Astrological education. Maurice Fernandez is a deeply devoted, passionate and skilled teacher.

Through my studies with him I have gotten to know wonderful people. He attracts diverse and gifted students from all over the world. I now have many new friends. The workshops are of the highest quality. Maurice’s Socratic method engages his students in an inquiring dialogue. Typically, it is so riveting, that I feel totally compelled by the discussion for hours on end.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Comprehensive programs is accessible to both beginners and advanced students:

Beginners can start with Segments A, B, & C, and progressively move to more advanced material.

These segments are part of the Beginners, Royal Star, and Mastery tracks.

Intermediary and advanced students can dive deep into the evolutionary content of the course. A significant percentage of students who have enrolled in this program came with already extensive experience in astrology. As you may read in the testimonial section, the contents of the course was still completely relevant for them because a lot of the material is not available in any existing literature and is unique to Maurice’s approach.

Additionally, the opportunity to practice and integrate the knowledge is what many students really yearn for.
Maurice’s personal approach to teaching is bound to enhance their existing skills to the next level.

All contents are available online on a dedicated platform where you have access to all contents of your track. This helps you study at your own pace.

Some of contents is offered through live sessions online which you can attend live, or view recordings at a later stage.

Segments 4, 6, and 7 are also occasionally offered in-person. This is an optional participation and incurs additional costs (accommodation, transportation, and additional tuition fees).

The benefits of studying in person are tremendous: we include hikes in nature, yoga, cook together, and learn through interaction. It is highly recommended when available.

Since the course is online, you can begin ANY time. Typically a Cycle of study begins at a particular season, however, even if you miss that season, you can merge at a later stage.

If you join toward the end of an existing cycle, you will subsequently merge with the new cycle when it starts.

For example, Cycle 14 begins mid 2023. If you happen to join in 2024 or 2025, you will be able to enjoy everything that Cycle 14 offers, but then also continue into Cycle 15.

Here are options for financial support:

  1. An affiliate program where you get discounts based on recommending a study program or private consultations with Maurice to your peers. When someone signs up through you, you can deduct that investment from your own fee. For example, if you recommend a $340 reading to someone, once they are paid, you can deduct that amount from your tuition. This way you can deduct up to 60% of the cost of your track.
  2. We can discuss extending the payment plan in some particular cases.
  3. Scholarship will be made available at a later stage. Maurice will provide information when effective.
  4. Subsidies can be considered if you live in a country with a significantly struggling economy. Contact Maurice to discuss your situation.

A Segment is a longer and deeper study process than a workshop. Typically Segments are 6 to 7 days study courses, while workshops can be 1, 2, or 3 days study courses.

Yes, you can begin with the Star Knowledge, Soul, or Royal Star Track, and later join the Professional Mastery Track and deduct what you already paid from the total.

However, if you do intend to join the Professional Mastery track, it is recommended to start there straight away because the sequence of study will be more organic compared to merging from a different track.

Yes, you can purchase from the list of workshop/segments on this link and study them individually.

Should you decide later to join a track, you can deduct the costs from that workshop from the total.

Keep in mind, however, that by studying the contents incrementally, you wont have access to practice sessions or live sessions related to the topic of study.

It is much recommended as advanced students can greatly benefit from Segment A, even though it is more basic content. The reason is that these fundamentals are taught from the perspective of the evolution of the soul in the chart, and therefore, it will likely enrich their perspective regardless of how advanced they are

These segments are optional – when available.

“On location” segments are conducted over 6 or 7 days in a beautiful ‘retreat style’ location. We rent a house where participants are staying, and combine 6 hours of study a day, with daily Kundalini Yoga sessions, hikes in nature, and healthy meals. We create a sacred space, with fun, community, beautiful landscapes, and cosmic inspiration. The intention of these retreats is to understand that learning the language of astrology is more than a mental exercise, but a conscious lifestyle. Though Yoga is optional, it is recommended.

The certificate of participation states that you have studied the program, but it does not validate your expertise.

The Diploma confirms that you are ready for professional practice as an Evolutionary Astrologer.
