Student Questionnaire

Completing this Student Questionnaire is the first part of the application process for the Basic Course.  After reading the following introduction to the questionnaire and the questions themselves, you can download a copy (Microsoft Word file) by clicking the button at the bottom of the page.  You can type your answers right in the file itself and then upload it on the Applications page.

The Questionnaire helps me to get to know you so that together you can explore how the  principles of astro-logic apply to your life.  Your answers  provide the raw material I will draw on throughout the course to link astrological symbolism with your life experience. 

The answers to these questions are strictly voluntary.  If there are questions you would prefer not to answer, you do not have to. I will work with whatever information you are willing to share.  The more you reveal about yourself, however, the deeper I will be able to guide you into the material of the Basic Course, and the more personal your learning will be.  Many students have found the questionnaire to be an enlightening exercise unto itself, before they ever get to the course.

​

You should also know that your response to the questionnaire is strictly confidential, and will never be used in any capacity without your explicit written permission.

​

I have also responded to this questionnaire, and will be glad to share my response with any student who is interested.
