A 2-DAY COURSE ON PRIMARY DIRECTIONS WITH MARTIN GANSTEN

This is a not-to-be-missed opportunity to attend a weekend workshop where modern students can learn the expert techniques of primary directions and discover the directions in their own birth charts. We are extremely fortunate to welcome Martin Gansten to the UK and hope you will join us for this valuable event.

The technique known today as primary directions is one of the most ancient and renowned methods of astrological forecasting, and one of the most powerful. From classical antiquity throughout the Middle Ages and Renaissance, and into the 20th century, all the great names of western astrology have worked with primary directions. It was the predictive technique of Dorotheus and Ptolemy, of Masha-allah and Abu MaShar, of Regiomontanus and Placidus, of Morin de Villefranche and William Lilly. Putting it simply: to understand the Old Masters of astrology, we must understand primary directions.
