Trauma Informed Astrology work on courses resuming

Hello dear readers,

After a little hiatus, taking a pause after the big push of getting Nervous System Foundations completed (the first class in T.I. Astrology certification series), we are resuming work on courses. Next week we will start working on the Preliminary Astrology Tools course.

This Preliminary Tools course is for people who need to review the basics of astrology, and also for beginners. We will be covering a lot in it – all the way from basic elements, horoscope signs, to planetary aspects and astrological houses. So, this course is like 101 and 102 combined. We are covering so much because the Level Two certification course – Western Astrology & the Polyvagal System will dive right into psychological and developmental astrology. Therefore, we need students to be ready for it!

We will probably start on the Level Two material within a few weeks. That is very exciting! We hope to see you in one of the courses. Let us know if you have any questions – you can go to the contact page at Trauma Informed Astrology (here).

Hope your Mercury Retrograde / Eclipse time is smooth and graceful, and that you are able to integrate the lessons available. Lean into support! Get your chart done by us or sign up for a distant somatic processing session.

Until soon,

Kirby Moore and the Trauma Informed Astrology team

Working Behind the Scenes on Trauma Informed Astrology

Hello Dear Ones,

We are loving the work on Trauma Informed Astrology courses. We are still adding tiny things to Nervous System Foundations (the first course which is available for purchase now) – it is 19 hours of material, and it might turn into 20 hours soon! You can check out www.traumainformedastrology.com for more info.

Looking at which astrological signs and aspects can benefit most from which somatic exercises has been fun. In this regard, we are pioneering in uncharted territory. Who benefits the most from doing the “Hands on Hips, bringing energy and awareness lower in the body” technique? People who have a lot of nervousness, anxiety, insomnia, people who have top-heavy symptoms (headaches, chronically tight shoulders / neck, etc). So what might that look like in the astrology chart?

People with a lot of Aries energy, possibly Sagittarius, people who have a stellium (3 or more planets) in Virgo or Gemini for sure. Plus, people who have Mercury in hard aspect to Uranus, Moon or Mars in hard aspect to Uranus. They all might benefit from this and many other techniques which we teach in the course.

You can go directly to the Nervous System Foundations Sale Page here: http://traumainformedastrology.teachable.com/p/ns-foundations-sales

In addition to adding these astrological correlations with the somatic exercises, we are also starting to work on the Preliminary Astrology Tools class – this is for people who need a refresher or who are more beginners. We highly recommend taking this course, unless you are a seasoned astrologer doing multiple charts a month. Level Two – Western Astrology and the Polyvagal System, which we are also starting to work on in a few weeks, will go deep into the astrology chart and developmental psychological aspects.

We are slowly adding more content to Instragram, and you can see our YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/@TIAstrology

Getting this huge project off the ground requires a lot of work. We are so excited to see where it takes us however! Let us know if you have any questions about the courses.

Have a great day!

Ways to stay grounded in the midst of eclipse season

Hello Dear Ones,

In case you have been living in a cave… things are pretty crazy in the world right now. And then, with the recent eclipse, plus Mercury retrograde, even those cave-dwellers might be having a rough time of it! So, here are a few suggestions for how to keep your feet on the ground, in spite of everything:

  1. Take three to five mindful breaths. Is my nervous system in the room with me? What is the state of my nervous system? Take a moment to catch up with yourself. Life can get busy and hectic. Breathing is one of the easiest ways to re-connect with ourselves.
  2. Spend some time in nature. Maybe this looks like going for a walk, perhaps you are blessed to be able to get your hands in some soil with gardening, or maybe you live close to the shore and you can walk along with ocean or a beach, or you have a park that you enjoy going to. Find some time in nature, preferably with clean air, plenty of green plants, and open vistas of the vast blue sky.
  3. Finally, the way we stay in our healthy social nervous system, is to be social. Connect with a loved-one, with a friend, with a group you feel safe within. If it is relatively easy, spend time with friends, go out and be social. Find your range of safety and be there with a friend. If this is difficult, see below.
  4. Social connection is so vital, and yet for some people, it is very difficult. Some traumas cause us to lose the felt-sense of safety in groups, or even the felt-sense of safety when connecting one-on-one. See the Embodiment Exercises link below for easy ways to come back to yourself, to feel your body’s natural organic rhythms and to be able to allow flow and ease back into your system.

Raja Selvam, one of my teachers, has a set of (quite affordable) embodiment exercises which help to reconnect us with our inner resources, helps us to come back to alignment, and to feel a healthier connection with our body: here is the link: https://integralsomaticpsychology.com/embodiment-exercises/

Also, you can find my first course: Nervous System Foundations here (Trauma Informed Astrology’s first course) if you want to learn more about easy embodiment tools, somatic exercises and learn more about the nervous system: http://www.traumainformedastrology.com

Good luck and wishing you well!

Fresh Start

Hello Dear Ones,

Do we feel the Eclipse energy?

Are we choosing Pluto or Minerva?

Mindfully, consciously dropping into greater awareness and ground

or being a pinball, letting life fling us around?

I know it feels like we don’t have a choice,

But at least give our objection a voice!

Our stress and overwhelm can become creativity

Shame and guilt can transform into dignity

It is possible to heal, repair our inner wiring

Practice kindness to self, increase our caring

Now we are in Taurus, connecting to organic healing rhythms

Allow our inner light to shine like a prism

We show you how at Trauma Informed Astrology! The first course is ready – Nervous System Foundations. Come take a peek!

Deep breath after giving birth to Trauma Informed Astrology’s first course

Hello friends,

See my last post here: https://astrodharma.me/2023/04/15/four-days-left-on-pre-launch-sale-for-nervous-system-foundations-class/ to see more about the Nervous System Foundations course which is available now. You can also go to www.traumainformedastrology.com to see more.

I am very good at being in “Go Mode.” Meaning I am good at pushing through, I am good at finishing something and then immediately looking around and thinking, “What is next? What is next?!” In other words, I override my nervous system’s inherent need to settle and rest down after a big push.

This pattern goes all the way back to my birth. I had birth trauma after (directly after) I was born. Therefore, the “Follow Through” and “Integration” stages never got properly metabolized, they never solidified. All I know is action (on an unconscious level). I am easily swept away by events if I am not mindful.

You might be thinking, “But Kirby, you teach nervous system repair, and somatic exercises to settle and resource the nervous system.” Yes, that is right. And most often, we teach what we most need to learn in ourselves! So, I am good at teaching these things, because I have had to spend years unlearning my deeply entrenched patterns of override and clinging to the myth that my self-worth lay in how much I could accomplish and produce. And I have had really good teachers and mentors, so I have made great progress on myself! I am now walking my talk in these regards!

With all of this in mind, I am now purposely taking a short break. Getting this first course planned, outlined, structured, prepared, and then completed took more than nine months. It was quite a process. I love what we have accomplished – it is the third iteration of videos and ideas (I re-did several videos, and shifted directions once or twice). The team here at Trauma Informed Astrology consists of four people, and that number is growing. Two other people really helped to get this first course completed. I had the vision and did the most “work” and they supported me in producing the videos.

I am working with a business coach starting in three weeks. It is my intention to formulate a better marketing plan for this first course, and to strategize and prioritize the next steps for T.I. Astrology in general. So, I have three weeks to let my nervous system take a deep breath. Three weeks to catch up with myself, to spend time in nature.

Spring, the season, is springing wildly to life around me (here in Central Virginia USA). I love seeing all the incredible shades and hues of green. We have already gone through several waves of new blossoms and flowers – forsythia, hyacinths, daffodils, and currently azaleas. Tulips are showing themselves, along with gorgeous irises as well! And now I want to walk in it, ground myself in the here and now. Instead of being so goal oriented, being to focused on what is next, I want to be with the woods, absorb the healing green energy of the spring (wood element) and ground myself in the gentle Blue Ridge mountains nearby.

Once I attune myself (my nervous system) to these healthy organic rhythms, then I intend to focus on what is next for this grand idea – a large platform or school for people to gather, to learn and share and have community. This is what we want with Trauma Informed Astrology. A platform and a community for practicing Trauma Informed Principles, for practicing compassion for the self, and learning and sharing Astrological wisdom and insights.

We hope you will join us in this wonder-filled journey.

Four Days left on Pre-Launch Sale for Nervous System Foundations Class!

Hello Friends,

If you are interested in Trauma Informed Astrology courses, now is the time to purchase the first one (Nervous System Foundations)! We are offering a Pre-Launch Sale now through April 19th – it is currently 50% off ($350 including tax). On April 20th, it will be $675 plus tax.

You can go here to the sales page to see more: traumainformedastrology.teachable.com/p/ns-foundations-sales

Nervous System Foundations gets into What is trauma?, What is Resilience?, How do we Resource the Nervous System?, What does Trauma Informed Care look like? and much much more! At Trauma Informed Astrology, we are putting together a school, a platform for practitioners and students (of all types) to gather together and learn in a safe and mutually supportive environment.

T.I. Astrology courses cover Nervous System Repair & Theory, Embodiment Tools, Somatic Exercises, Trauma Informed Principles & Practice, and the ways in which all these vital components weave into the Western Astrological tapestry. Because this is such an ambitious goal, in the first course, we do not get much into astrology. It includes everything else though! Therefore, Nervous System Foundations is for all types of practitioners and even beginners! This class is made for you – especially if you have not taken many nervous system or polyvagal classes. If you have taken a couple of these classes, you will still learn a lot here.

Then in the second level, Western Astrology & the Polyvagal System, we will dive into the Western Astrology chart and see how the nervous system is manifesting in various aspect configurations, etc. For the second level, you will need a solid foundation in astrology. That is why we are also working on the Preliminary Astrology Tools class. If you don’t have a lot of astrology under your belt, then we highly recommend taking this preliminary course!

And finally, in the third course, Navigating the Healing Journey, we will put all these things together and look at how we can see someone’s healing process in the chart. In this course, we will introduce more somatic process tools, in addition to continuing the Nervous System Repair & Theory healing journey!

We hope to see you in the first course! You can also find out more about the Certification Process here: http://www.traumainformedastrology.com/classes

Thanks for joining us here!

Just one week left of Pre-Launch Sale price on T.I. Astrology: Nervous System Foundations course!

Hello Friends,

We have several people on the Trauma Informed Astrology Team. If you purchase the Nervous System Foundations course, you will see Emily Lamoureux and Kyla Saby as they assist me in producing / covering half the material for the course. Emily is becoming a better and better trauma informed astrologer every week, and Kyla has years of coaching, bodywork, astrology, and occupational therapy under her belt! In addition, we have a good editor helping us with videos, and few more astrologers want to join the team as assistants.

When I showed them the first course in its entirety, both of Emily and Kyla commented: “Kirby, why are you making the Pre-Launch Sale price so cheap?” And they have a point. We are offering so much material in this first course.

I am offering this 50% off rate because being a full-time astrologer is not easy. It is not a lucrative profession, unless we are one of the better known authors or presenters. So, I want to get this vital material (nervous system information and wisdom) out there to as many people as possible, and I am only offering this 50% off deal for a total of 20 days. And there are only 7 days remaining! I will not be offering scholarships until more people are signed up for the course, so this is your chance to get it at a reduced rate!

Right now, you can get the full first course – Nervous System Foundations for $325 (plus tax – so $350 total). That is over 15 hours of course material in 30+ videos, and this also includes four Discussion Groups – where participants can attend live, online sessions to get their questions answered and deepen their understanding of the material. All totaled, this is 19 hours of videos and live, online sessions for the low price of $325.

After April 19th, the price will go up to $675! There are a still a number of seats available at the $325 price. Go here to see the sales page and purchase your seat today: traumainformedastrology.teachable.com/p/ns-foundations-sales

You can also see more about the Certification Process here: http://www.traumainformedastrology.com

I am so excited to be getting this Trauma Informed Astrology platform going. Thank you for joining us on this journey of discovery and healing!
