This is an instantly valuable tool for students who want to add greater psychological depth to an astrology reading!

Meet your instructor...
Adam Elenbaas
Since opening my practice in 2010, I've completed over 13,000 birth chart readings and led more than 5000 students through my natal and horary astrology programs. Many of my students have gone on to cultivate dedicated professional practices.
My personal practice sprang from my studies of ayahuasca shamanism spanning more than 10 years and 100 ceremonies. Upon discovering deep meaning in the patterns of the sky, I began consulting formal teachers, who taught me the practical history, craft, and philosophy of astrology.
I now weave aspects from my diverse spiritual and traditional studies into my courses and apprenticeships. My goal is to give you, my students, a practical and spiritual platform from which to view and practice astrology in the world today.
Throughout the Nightlight Master Class series, you will develop advanced natal chart delineation skills through the application of a variety of specialized topics and techniques. The Master Class series is designed to take your study of Hellenistic astrology beyond the foundations and basics.
