This is kind of a unique episode where I'm going to be talking with a student of

astrology named Amaya Rourke who contacted me to get some advice about different options for getting a well-rounded

education in astrology.

During the course of the show we're going to talk about some of the pros and cons associated

with the four major educational routes that you can take if you want to study

astrology within the context of a specific school or certification program.

So with that introduction out of the way, let's get started with the discussion.

So thanks a lot for joining me today.

Thank you so much for your time and consideration.

I'm really surprised, very honored that you wanted to answer this question for me on your podcast.

Yeah, so I thought this would be a good discussion topic just because I feel like I've

fielded different variations of some of these questions or this question a few times in the past and I thought it would be best just to like instead of like writing out a long email to you to actually have a discussion and talk about some of the specific points and the things related to it because other people might

find this useful.

So why don't we start just by talking, you know, introducing you maybe like what's your name

and what's your background or sort of where you

at this point in your studies of astrology?
