Basic Celestial Mechanics for Astrologers

Let's explore how the ancients saw the Cosmos.

A brief explanation of the Spheres and Circles that make up the astrological model, and a not-so-brief explanation of the most important ones, including the principles behind Directions and Progressions.

Lesson 1: the basics (spherical geometry -- not technical -- and the Model of the Cosmos).

Lesson 2 - The Circles. The Equator, the Ecliptic, the Horizon, the Meridian. The sky as seen it itself; the sky seen in relation to us.

Lesson 3 - The signs, the mundane houses. What are they? Where are they?

Lesson 4. Primary Directions and Secondary Progressions, what are they? Epicycles, defferents, equants: the traditional explanation for retrogradation (and for other stuff).

PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE BUYING:

1) The videos are just me, talking to a camera, and using styrofoam balls to explain the concepts. No fancy animations or anything like that.

2) English is not my first language, and this was the first live course I ever taught in it. So, some words are mispronounced. It doesn't make anything unintelligible, I think, but I have to warn you about it.
