其实我感觉我的路数比较像Deb,多少有点instinct leading,我提问的时候Deb也经常坦承你说的这个细节当时我就没注意啥的。Morgan就感觉是解码专家简直面面俱到啊!太牛逼了我觉得!
我最终提交的结课感想,存一下
I have a lot to say, lol.
This course has left me with memories and insights I will carry for a long time.
One was a Q&A session with Wade — we all watched the stars together online. It felt unexpectedly romantic.
The stretch from Session 8 to 18 was tough. But through it, I learned where my limits lie — physically and mentally — and how to care for myself while still moving forward. That lesson has stayed with me far beyond astrology.
Around Session 8, my body began to fall behind. That was also when the informal chart discussions started, and I managed to attend two of them. In that month alone, I went through seven different sessions on London time — which meant every live class ran from 0 to 2AM in my time zone. It was… insane. Very quickly I became physically and mentally exhausted. My circadian rhythm collapsed, my executive functioning shut down, and my sensitivity spiked.
At that exact moment, we began linking planets and signs to things in everyday life. The learning curve suddenly felt steep and intimidating. I lost confidence. Every chart I touched filled me with hesitation, and I no longer dared to judge.
Then, around Session 18, everything suddenly clicked. The fog lifted. My instinct sharpened, and a clear, structured framework settled in my mind.
That was the moment I realized I had gained everything I dreamed of before coming here. And I cherish it — deeply.
Toward the end of the course, I suddenly saw how, at their core, neurodevelopment (my field of work) and astrology are much alike: both trace how specific starting conditions unfold into destiny within a particular structure of time and space. Two things that seem opposed share the same underlying path. That realization felt truly wondrous.
When I first sought out classical astrology, I pursued refined technique — prediction, judgment, the “correct” answer. Looking back now, this journey with STA has changed me.
I’ve come to see that the heart of it all is not prediction, but the act of attending to and discerning the question. Asking and answering become a dialogue of will and awareness between astrologer and querent; together we witness how a question takes shape, how it unfolds, and what kind of understanding is needed to meet it.
I also remember Deb’s case about the missing child. In class she vividly brought back the querent — the mother of the lost boy — her appearance, her expression, even the moment of their meeting. That kind of empathy, still alive after thirty years, pierced through the screen and struck me. When the querent clung to her visions, believing herself a medium and unable to hear any facts, it was empathy alone that allowed dialogue to happen.
We have lived through the “light and love” of the New Age, only to return, at last, to the austerity of technique. Yet what emerges is no longer a metaphysical mirage, but a true morning star.
Thank you to all the tutors, and to the entire community. This course has changed me, and I will carry it with me always.
说起离家出走,想到:
六岁的时候因为家人之间沟通失误,导致期末考试结束后没有人来接,我在原地等了一会儿最后决定自己走回家,但是因为记错地标走错绕了很远的路,绕回家的时候已经晚上快九点。
我们家的人管这个叫我离家出走。
不久之后还有一次,也是因为我小时候不敢跟陌生人张嘴问路,宁愿自己找,也是花了很多时间后来自己绕回去了。
这个也叫离家出走。
不过这一切没有得到任何理解,我得到的是指责“你为什么不告诉爷爷今天要去接你”“张嘴问路有什么不敢的”“小孩就是这么不懂事不懂大人会担心很自私“以及愈发严密的所谓保护。
后来我真的花了漫长的很多年精心策划了一场离家出走,无人发觉异常。我学着把很多人和事抛在身后,交了一些和我一样离开家的朋友,彼此分担痛苦、焦虑和自由。
Deb和Wade当众劝大家别来high diploma课程。我真的笑亖。我肯定是要去的,因为我确实有一些感兴趣的议题需要指路。
但是我特别喜欢她这个行为,那高阶课程我看了,感觉跟我读博一样,劝人不读博当然是功德啊!!!!
其实我感觉课程刚开始的时候,我也很执著于impress Deb cuz for gods sake this is DEBORAH HOULDING!!!!! 但是课程上着上着我给干shutdown了,我能活着跟上就不错了!也就完全不琢磨networking了!直到再上Deb课的session18,本来我也觉得天然一起上课讨论应该抓住机会,但是我当时只是感觉到那个问题(就是今天说的那个)但是说不出来,就也没必要勉强。session18之后我又感觉拥有了clear strong instinct, structural clean framework,也就很知足,不觉得还有什么必要去强行networking了。
另外就是后半程我意识到Deb真的非常忙!我觉得不要为了一己之私欲去占用她的时间精力吧,尊重一点!所以开启对话也审慎很多。
最后就是,私信觉得技术原理上我觉得我已经都基本掌握了,然我现在会觉得困惑的都是她们也会觉得subtle的议题,我也有自己想要继续的方向和内容。这个社群的氛围也很好很顶级。所以其实我觉得Deb创建STA想要给出的占星术和学习氛围我都已经得到了。我在这里真的没有什么遗憾。
