About

Hi Dev,
I am an old friend of Vern’s. I run a school of astrology and we are giving scholarships that pay for a complete 4 year astrology home study course. It could prove helpful to some who want to build a career in astrology.
Two scholarships are being awarded per province and territory. Would you pass the word on to anyone concerned?
What follows is a press release about the scholarship and a description of the scholarship.
I would be grateful for anything you can do.
Thanks, Migwedge

International Astrological Scholarships To Be Awarded For First Time In History by the RASA School of Astrology
Toronto, Canada, February 15, 2011 — (PR.com) – RASA School of Astrology, an internationally recognized accredited school of astrology.

Date & Place – Toronto, Ontario Canada – 15 Feb 2011

RASA School of Astrology is awarding full scholarships to students around the world. Two full scholarships will be awarded per country world-wide for a total of $392,000 worth of full scholarship funding in 196 countries. There will also be 2 scholarships awarded per Canadian province or territory. The awards cover the cost of the four year curriculum. It is the first global astrology scholarship program in history.

This reveals a significant upgrading of the status of astrology in today’s world. The program will make the serious study of astrology available around the world and assist in developing meaningful careers in the science of astrology. The scholarship program reaches beyond inequalities of national currencies, opening the door to students from poorer countries as well as those most established.

Computer technology has brought astrology out of the dark ages of hand calculations performed by few and out of the reach of the average person. In today’s world the astrologer no longer needs the same tedious mathematical knowledge. It has become technically available to people on a large scale. This has opened the need for professional development and credibility in a rapidly evolving field. It does take years of study to become a good astrologer.

Most universities do not offer courses on astrology, with the exception, perhaps, of those in India. The Library of Congress, the British Library, libraries in Madrid and in the Vatican hold particularly large collections of astrology books.

To understand the world before 1500 BC without some understanding of astrology would fallacy. Calendars and almanacs were developed under the auspices of astrology. The ancient priests, wise men or shamans often were also healers and astrologers. Astrology has been called the mother of all sciences, as it seems the precursor of them.

The field of astrology includes both objective and subjective perspectives, including aspects of both science and religion. It is a far vaster and more inclusive field of study than it is generally given credit for.

During the Renaissance in the 15th century the printing press and the discovering of America ushered in the age of the written word. In the last half of the 20th century to the present, the discovery of the computer and space travel has ushered in the new era of the bitten word. Information is becoming available that has been isolated or obscured for hundreds of years. Material on astrology, its validity and history is making the study of astrology come alive again, and ushering in a new era when people can study to become competent astrologers.

The curriculum of the RASA School of Astrology was certified by Professional Astrologers Inc. It offers a four year course with 350 hours of class instruction. A detailed curriculum can be seen on the school website http://www.rasa.ws

Robin Armstrong, the founder and president of RASA has been teaching since 1973. Robin ran an astrological library for thirty years, and has lists of the astrological contents from several of the world’s larger libraries including the Vatican.
