If you’ve completed my foundational astrology courses and you’re ready to take your skills into deeper and more sensitive territory, then the Shadow Placements course is designed for you.
In this course, we explore the hidden side of the chart — the placements, aspects, and planetary energies that can indicate struggles with depression and inner shadow work. Learn how Saturn, Neptune, Pluto, the Moon, and Chiron can reveal the roots of psychological challenges, and how timing techniques such as transits and progressions help us understand when these issues may surface most strongly.
We’ll study how to approach these patterns with care, responsibility, and professionalism, including when and how to encourage clients toward therapeutic support. Real-world case studies of public figures like Jim Carrey and Kurt Cobain show how shadow placements manifest in life stories, offering insight into both their challenges and resilience.
By the end of this course, you’ll not only be able to recognize indicators of depression in the natal chart but also know how to work with them ethically and compassionately. This is advanced-level work for astrologers who want to deepen their interpretive skills and provide meaningful guidance around mental health themes.
