As seen in
You know your zodiac sign. The rest of your chart is a mystery.
- You've opened your birth chart and seen a wheel of symbols, lines and numbers you can't make sense of.
- You've heard your zodiac sign is only a small part of the story, but you don't know where the rest of it lives.
- You've bought the books, saved the posts, and still don't feel like you can read a chart on your own.
- You'd love to use astrology to understand yourself and your work, not just read about it.
Your birth chart is a map of the sky at the moment you took your first breath.
Once you know where to look, it stops being a pretty picture and starts being useful. Why some work drains you and other work lights you up. What comes naturally. What you keep circling back to.
Astrology doesn't have to be complicated. You just need someone to show you where to start.

I decided to try her Astrology basics that she has for free. After going through that I was hooked. I learned so much just from the information that she gave away for free.

Hi, I'm Kath
I'm a business astrologer and the founder of the Business Astrology Academy, where I've trained more than 100 astrologers across 30 countries to use astrology as a practical tool for their business. I'm also the creator of the Business Astrology Oracle Deck, published by Hay House.
I came to astrology from a business coaching background, so I'm less interested in predictions and more interested in what your chart tells you to actually do on a Tuesday morning.
You've been living inside the expectations of others. Your chart shows you who you were before all of that.

Before you begin
Do I need to know anything about astrology?
No. This course starts from the very beginning and explains everything as we go.
Do I need my birth time?
It helps. You can start with your birth date and place, but your birth time is what shows your rising sign and houses. If you don't know it, a birth certificate or a family member is the best place to look.
Is it really free?
Yes. No card details, no catch. Just your name and email.
How long does it take?
It's self-paced, so you can move through it in an afternoon or over a few weeks. Whatever suits you.
