Evolutionary & Embodied Astrology Program

Learn to remember the language of your soul

What is Evolutionary & Embodied Astrology?

Evolutionary Astrology is a modern practice of astrology that focuses on the soul's path in this life for healing, transforming & evolving. It has a strong focus on Pluto and the Nodes of the Moon. Evolutionary Astrology takes as its framework that human consciousness is evolving and therefore astrology must evolve as well!
Embodied Evolutionary Astrology is part of that evolution.
This is Iris' unique approach to practicing astrology which comes from decades of working with the archetypes in astrology combined with scholarship in literature, philosophy, feminist trauma theory and embodiment. Simply put, Embodied Evolutionary Astrology is spirit reclaimed in this breath and the next. It is a luscious & delicious relationship with the archetypes that is healing and transformative. It will change your life from the inside out. It is a spiritual & creative practice and it involves your whole self. Studying Astrology in this way is an opportunity for learning that is also healing.
This is not your average astrology course. It's so much more.

A few Words from Iris

I am so thrilled to be offering this program. 
This is a lot more than your typical astrology training. It's earth, fire, air & water. It's learning to love yourself through the archetypes. Learning to speak with Soul & Cosmos. It's healing & coming home. 


This program is for beginners through intermediate level students.  If you are an advanced student and want to learn how to develop an embodied evolutionary practice, it is also for you. 

I am putting my whole heart-body-soul-mind into this program and I so look forward to working with you.
Reach out to me if you have any questions. 

In this Program you will learn
