Teaching Artist: Cory Nakasue
Dates: Tuesday, September 8, 15, 22, 29 from 6-8 PM (ET)
Format: Hybrid — live on Zoom, with a private online space for sharing between sessions
Horoscopes are symbolic poems — and you can write one.
Using the charts of participants, Cory will introduce the building blocks of astrology: planets, signs, houses, and aspects. You’ll learn to synthesize the symbols that speak most strongly to you into portraits of traits, feelings, situations, and possibilities.
No expertise in astrology is required. Each week includes an astrology lesson, discussion of natal charts and lived experience, sample horoscopes, generative writing prompts, and examples of writers who have drawn on astrology in their creative work.
We’ll meet on Zoom for four Tuesdays to learn, write, and share. See the course outline below for more.
Bonus: Attend a complimentary session of Feeling the Sky, a monthly circle for noticing the planetary themes, timing, and invitations of the moment.
Crafted by
Astrology counselor, writer, and teacher
I counsel clients and teach modern astrology with a generous nod to ancient practices, traditional techniques, and wisdom studies. Storytelling is a cornerstone of my work and you can read my monthly horoscopes at Chronogram Magazine, and tune into my live weekly radio show/podcast, The Cosmic Dispatch.
I’ve been reading astrology charts since I was a kid and was raised with Native American, Hawaiian, and Mayan mythologies and practices shared with me from my grandparents. I’m mostly a self-taught and community-guided astrologer who has received additional training from master astrologers, Joseph Addeo and Rick Levine. I’m always studying, and do my best to stay current with new techniques and philosophies.
I have over 25 years of experience in movement arts as a performer, director, teacher and therapist, and have been mentored by some of the finest practitioners working in psychology, neurology, and pain science. Please visit www.corynakasue.com for more information about my movement education and therapy practice. I also offer a cross-disciplinary practice that explores astrology through the physical and somatic body.
I consult frequently with journalists, artists, and businesses looking to incorporate astrological principles in their work. I hold MA degrees in theatre, choreography, and performance studies from California Institute of the Arts and Middlesex University, London.
I draw on all of my experience in body-mind therapeutics, writing, and performing arts to help you create strong narratives that are deeply felt and actionable. I offer private lessons to individuals and small groups. My specialties are depth psychology, creative process, and personal coaching.
