From tarot to palm reading: 6 free online astrology courses you can enrol in now

Want to learn how to read your friends' palms as a party trick or just deepen your understanding of astrology and the zodiac? Here are some free online courses that may help

A fascinating subject, astrology gives you an insight into the mysteries of the universe. Most of us have tracked the sun's vibrant motion, the movement of the moon and the meaning of the stars. But if you're seeking to take your knowledge of the expansive, complex, and transformative study of astrology a step further, Vogue checked out several online classes that will not only help you keep your mind, body and spirit healthy but, when the world finally opens up again, could make going out a richer, more fulfilling experience. 

Learn how to read tarot

“The true magick of the Tarot does not come from a rule book written by the publisher, nor does it depend on its controversial history or origin. The images themselves—and the underlying abstract messages, speak to the human psyche in a way that is difficult to find anywhere else,” reads the description of the course. The online workshop will cover four important aspects of tarot reading— what tarot means and its origins, the art of finding the right deck, interpretation of all the cards, and the reading of three easy spreads for beginners.

Understanding your moon sign: A study of the moon's role in astrology

While we are all aware of our sun sign and the role the sun plays in both the sky and our birth charts, most people are not aware of the moon sign—an important sign that affects how you're most likely to express your feelings—along with what you need to feel good. Having a better understanding of both the signs can help you get better understanding of yourself. This course will help you realise and explain why you work the way you do. Within this course, you'll learn how each of the zodiac signs affect the moon, how to correctly find your moon sign and what a Void of Course Moon means.

Feng Shui altar creation – Sacred theatre of your heart with Gwynne Warner

A creative course, it guides one on how to make an an altar. For the uninformed, an altar is a sacred space where (according to the course) the real world meets the divine—one that will heal your balance between the Chinese trinity of heaven, earth and humanity. The description reads, “Traditional altars are a ritual arrangement of sacred objects. In this sense they are a kind of miniature stage, and the ceremonies performed there are a kind of sacred theatre designed to sanctify and bless, to invoke attention and presence of the Divine and to usher participants into states of spiritual awareness.”
