ALMUTEMDegree 1 — the foundations
Nine lessons on reading a chart the way the tradition reads one. Each lesson ends with an exercise on your own chart, so the material is learned on the sky you were born under and not on a worked example.
The first lesson is open to everyone. The rest ask for a free account.
At the end of the nine, a certificate
Pass the nine quizzes and Degree 1 closes: you get a certificate of completion as a PDF, with your name and the nine lessons on it. It costs nothing, like the degree.
A record of study — not a professional qualification.
