Hi everyone, thank you to all who shared your useful feedback with me. I'm going to share a few things here about study partnership/groups as well about ways I’d like to support the teachings of this course to be more accessible and workable to more students.

Please continue to reach out with feedback and personal experience. I feel a devotion to do what I can to improve the workability and accessibility of these teachings.

Study partners/groups
For those that desire study partnerships, I suggest small groups of 2 - 4, but larger is fine if that's how it wants to be. My general sense is that small groups make it easier to create consistency and create a rhythm. You may wish to connect with people at a similar level of learning and skill and/or sense of resonance. Time zone may also be a useful consideration. Some of us might already have a a bit of a feel for one another from our participation in our live classes and from our forum posts. If you'd like I am very happy to be the shidduch (Yiddish for match maker) for connecting students together. On that, two points.

1. Let me know below that you'd like to be matched and share with me any preferences/ information I should take into consideration as well as if you have a preference for a one on one partnership or a small group. It might be helpful to remind me of your existing skill level etc. as I may not know you super well just yet. Then I'll think about it and try my best to create pairs/groups that work well. For reference, there are just about 31 students in this course.
2. You are under no obligation to stick with any partnership or group if it's not the right one for you. You are of course welcome to give it a try and see how it goes.

Suggestions for the study partnerships/groups
First and foremost, I think each group should find their own direction. This being said, here are some ideas/suggestions – some of which were communicated to me by students in our group.

1. Simply watching/reading the course content together.
2. Working on the assignments together
3. Working together as a group on one single practice that you create:
   • This can be a planetary placement of someone in your small group. You can all work on that together.
   • Or, work with interpreting the sign/house combination of everyone in the group, or of someone you know well who gives consent.
4. Find one signature (i.e. Mars in Scorpio in the 7th house) and look at a couple charts of well known people who all have that. Or of charts of people who have the polarity (Taurus in the 1st) etc etc- basically engage creative ways of engaging with the content and seeing it’s multi faceted expressions.

All this being said. At this stage, we are not interpreting full charts - so our goal is to develop a deep grasp of the evolutionary meaning of the planets and continue to strengthen our skill in grasping their multilayered expressions in various house/sign combinations.

My support to study groups/partnerships
If you and a small group are working on something together, feel free to share it with me (you can post on form if that feels accessible). If you are showing me sincere effort, I'd be open to creating space to meet with your group live to go over your work.

**************

At this point I'd like to share a few further reflections on how I can support the content of this course to become more workable/accessible. Again this is what I got right now, and I hope to continue to improve the container in this way.

Teachings on the houses
I received the good feedback that my curriculum is lacking when it comes to really delving into the meaning of the houses specifically. I understand that and I will create a little something for everyone on that soon. However, a reason why I do did not go into all the houses is because I have taken the perspective that we will grasp the incredibly deep and multi-layered meaning of the houses simply as we go; through repetition and gradual osmosis. There might be a detriment to that in that perhaps there is a need for a bit more content to start with. So I’m going to work on that.

This being said, I do have free content on each of the houses available (see below) which can be very helpful. I suggest studying my free content when applicable and helpful.

Recommended resources
In the workbook, each segment has a recommended resources page. I also have a free teachings page with a lot of useful material on it. Besides for that, obviously anything Jeffrey Wolf Green is relevant. We aren’t referencing his work too much at this point because we are at the beginning. We will work more directly with his published material more in Part II.

To keep this accessible for everyone, and since my knowledge of useful resources is constantly growing, I’m going to pin a thread on the forum or on the student page with useful resources that I can add to as it comes up, including the zodiac wheel creation webpage I used during our last class.  

Using the forum to support our live classes
Before each class, please be invited to articulate your questions on the forum (ideally the day before), this will allow me to gather questions ahead of time and start with something concrete from the very beginning – and also allow students to be in the field of the question. Then, naturally more questions can arise during live class time. This is just an invitation for those who wish to do so. Spontaneous live q and a is still welcome.

OK that's all for now. Again I sense there is more to be seen here, so please feel free to reach out.
