College of Visionaries & Wizards
2011 - 2012 Class Curriculum
Celebrating our fourth year of classes!
Marcella and I welcome you to the fourth year of our ever-expanding multidimensional college. In Star Genesis the number four is the Cornerstone that sets the foundation for all to come. For our foundation year we’re expanding by launching our fullest curriculum ever. To meet reader requests and client needs as expressed to us in the first three years, we’re offering both more advanced and more basic approaches to Soul Level Astrology.
We’re also tremendously excited to introduce Tribal Drumbeat, an annual membership program designed to spark community and foster our international circles of spirit. Among other benefits, the membership includes four Cornerstone Cosmic Weather Report TeleClasses keyed to Solstices and Equinoxes, and six CWR Live! Calls to personalize and discuss the information that goes out in my monthly newsletter. This will provide ongoing telephone and email forums for people hungry to join our worldwide spiritual community, focusing on transformation and mystical awareness.
The four-year accreditation program begun last year continues with Chart Reading Level 1 and 2 TeleClasses, which instruct students in powerful soul-level methods I use to read the birth chart. After twenty-five years of originating and practicing Soul Level Astrology this is the first time I’ve developed a method to teach others to read charts the way I do. These classes are beginning to form lasting bonds between people interested in digging down into the deeper dimension of not only the birth chart but life itself. The four-year program will teach you to recognize soul-level patterns that underlie your current and past-life history, and point the way toward the future. Level I begins in September, (see details below.) Level II, which starts in January is open to graduates of both Level I classes.
New this year is a twelve-month TeleClass: Debunking Stereotypes: Soul-Level Look at the Signs, investigating each sign during or close to the month the Sun passes through it. This is designed to be an improvisational group, for those new to astrology as well as dedicated students wanting to further their understandings of the zodiac. Sign up for all twelve and get a reduced rate, or drop in when you like, and pay by the session.
Classes will be conducted as phone calls. Downloadable recordings of each session will be available after each teleclass session. (Local long-distance rates apply.)
Aside from the new curriculum, I want to share another offering we’ve designed in response to growing requests—45-minute Soul Level Timing Cycles readings as a complement to my full-length 90-minute Soul Level Astrology sessions and to the longer sessions. Learn more about my sessions.
Welcome, everyone old and new aboard the soul train! --Mark Borax

Soul Level Astrology Four Year Certification Program
This is the first segment of a four-year program to become a certified Soul Level Astrologer. The second segment of the Four Year Certification Program will begin in January 2012 and this class is a pre-requisite.
Due to the personal and inner-exploratory nature of these classes, students must register before classes begin each year.
Class Soul Level Astrology Training Level I
15 TeleClasses and one in-person Intensive in October
Dates September 10 - December 31, 2011
Time Saturdays, 2:45 - 4:45 PM Eastern
Instructor Mark Borax
Cost: $695 by September 9, limited to ten students
This will be a hands-on class using students’ birth charts to learn the step-by-step method Mark uses to study charts in his depth-counseling practice, which he initiated when he created Soul Level Astrology in 1987. Mark provides the all-important basic building blocks of learning to read charts on a soul-level. The birth chart, which can initially seem like an incomprehensible pattern of gobbledy-gook, will now take shape as an inexhaustible resource for a lifetime’s insight. The class is designed to build trust and intimacy, as we use class charts to explore our own and each other’s journeys through love, death, sex, life purpose, karma and reincarnation.
Due to the transformative nature of this work, students will also help redefine Soul Level Astrology as they go. Using unpublished reference material from Ellias Lonsdale’s Star Genesis research, and his own private study book, Mark will make the art of chart interpretation understandable in sequential lessons. This course is designed to teach you how to decode the inner mysteries of the birth chart. No previous astrology experience or desire to become a professional astrologer is necessary. We’re seeking students willing to go beyond traditional interpretations of planets and signs, in order to get to the soul and form a tight study group with a small band of spiritual outlaws. At the end of the session, students will have completed Soul Level Astrology Training Level 1, the first of a four year curriculum toward certification by Mark as a Soul Level Astrologer. It is unlikely that another Level 1 class will be offered until 2013.
CLASS WILL COVER:
Building Blocks of Star Genesis: The Four Angles of the birth chart, Moon phases, Stars of Destiny, Progressed Moon Phases, Dharmic Currents, Aspects, Houses. Toward the end of the series we’ll launch independent study projects to equip students to teach us what they’re learning.
Soul Level Astrology Training Level 1 consists of 15 two-hour TeleClasses on consecutive Saturdays (except Thanksgiving and Christmas weeks) and one optional in-person workshop in Putney, Vermont, October 8 during Autumn foliage.
Class Soul Level Astrology Training Level II
18 TeleClasses and one in-person weekend in May
Dates January28 - May 27, 2012
Time Saturdays, 2:45 - 4:45 PM Eastern
Instructor Mark Borax
Cost: $695 by January 14, $750 late registration until January 28
Like Soul Level Astrology Training Level I, the Soul Level Astrology Training Level II Course is a very hands-on learning experience using students' birth charts. What differs, is that Level II gives students the opportunity to begin tuning into a classmates chart using a "buddy" system that encourages students to hone their interpretive skills while receiving honest feedback from another human being.
Personal experimentation with how each student naturally accesses information through the natal chart will be complimented with the sharing and application of more chart study tools taught in both Level I and Level II trainings.
CLASS WILL COVER:
Review of Class I, Beginning to read other’s charts, identifying Key Planets in the birth chart, Aspects to the moon nodes and the four angles, Oriental years and the Twelve historical epochs of Rudolf Steiner applied to the signs.
Soul Level Astrology Training Level II consists of 18 two-hour TeleClasses on consecutive Saturdays, one optional in-person session and year-end celebration in Putney, Vermont on May 26 & 27 . The end of the Level II course marks the half-way point of the four year Soul Level Astrology acreditation process that was started in 2010. Students that begin the program in 2011 will complete the program in 2013, along with those that started in 2010.
Students who enroll for Traning Level II, prior to the start of TrainingLevel I will have the opportunity to audit that entire class at no extra cost, as a refresher before beginning Level II.
SOUL LEVEL ASTROLOGY TRAINING I REQUIRED TO REGISTER FOR THIS CLASS.
Register by January 14, 2012 for $695 and avoid the late registration fee of $750 until January 28.
