This course is designed for students of astrology who are looking for focused seminars on advanced topics in ancient astrology.
The Oracle’s Tapestry: A Journey Through the Decans of the Zodiac
The Oracle’s Tapestry is a four-part, twelve-class master series devoted to the 36 decans of the zodiac—the thirty-six ten-degree divisions that carry the heartbeat of ancient astrological symbolism. Moving sign by sign, we will explore the story each decan tells, its planetary ruler, and the mythic and archetypal patterns it reveals in natal interpretation and spiritual life.
Along the way, we’ll draw subtle but meaningful parallels to the Tarot and the I Ching, whose imagery and wisdom echo many of the same mysteries found in the decans. These secondary systems will not be treated as blends or overlays, but as resonant mirrors that help us perceive the depth and dimension of decanic symbolism more vividly.
The goal of this master series is to develop a living relationship with the decans—to hear their stories as an oracular chorus within the larger music of astrology—and to learn how to use their symbolism intuitively in both natal and predictive practice.
Program Highlights
- A twelve-class decanic journey through the zodiac, exploring the mythic and planetary story of each of the 36 decans.
- Seasonal structure that brings rhythm and reflection, connecting the decans to the turning of the year.
- Integration of Tarot and I Ching correspondences as subtle mirrors enhancing decanic interpretation.
- A balanced blend of philosophy, divination, and practical application in natal and transit work.

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.
