Our most beloved Astrology course, reimagined.

12 Modules · Weekly Content · Live Q&A Calls · Integration Weeks

It’s time to remember the language of the stars.

Learn to read your Birth Chart, understand your purpose, and navigate your life and work with the cosmos as your guide.

June 2md – October 6th

The moment you took your first breath, you sealed the cosmic imprint of the stars into your cells. In that first Ceremony of Air, you forged sacred contracts with specific planets and asteroids to act as teachers and guides along your path. They vowed to assist you in your soul’s evolution through what would appear as challenges, opportunities, and the precise timing of everything in between.

Have you forgotten?

Your Astrological Birth Chart has been with you since the moment of birth. Remember: the best place to hide something is in plain sight.

This shimmering star map can tell you things about yourself you’ve only hoped were possible. And once you know how to read it, it becomes the most practical tool you will ever use.

  • Know when to launch and when to wait for a better time.
  • Understand why certain months feel like swimming upstream and others feel like everything clicks into place.
  • Speak to what your audience is already feeling in real time.
  • Navigate your relationships, your health, your purpose, and your business with a clarity that used to feel out of reach.
  • Join a live Q&A call every fourth week to go deeper into your chart and integrate what you’ve been learning alongside your fellow students.

I believe everyone should be able to read their Birth Chart. Right up there with knowing how to brush your teeth, reading your chart is an act of personal hygiene, self-care, and if you have a business, a professional edge you don’t want to live without.

Astro Empowerment has been fully re-recorded as a self-paced experience. Each week a new module unlocks, with a live Q&A call on the fourth week so you can ask questions, dive deeper into your chart, and integrate everything before the next cycle begins.

No overwhelm. Just steady, deep remembering & alignment.

The stars are calling you.

“What looked like a confusing web to me six months ago is now a crystalline compass. I’ve had huge insights into my own chart, being able to confidently read my own chart and others is such a game changer. My confidence in Astro knowledge has grown so much.”

Ann Taylor

Ritualist @ceremonarituals Byron Bay, Australia

Astrology isn’t complicated

It’s simply a language you have forgotten how to speak

It’s time to Remember. And this remembering lives in your body, not your mind.

Your body is literally made of the same stuff as stars. The very same elements that govern the planets are vibrating within you right now.

EARTH. FIRE. AIR. WATER.

So why would the stars feel foreign to you?

The truth is, they don’t. That magnetic pull you feel every Full Moon, the way certain transits hit you before you even check your chart, the feeling that the stars have something specific to say to you, if only you knew how to listen… you already know this language. You have always known it.

The stars have been up there, patiently glittering, waiting for the day you would look up and remember.

Most of the Astrology content you find online will tell you what the current cosmic energies are. But it won’t tell you how to locate those influences in your own chart, or what they mean specifically for your life, your work, and the people you love.

That’s exactly what Astro Empowerment teaches you to do.

When you know how to read your chart, everything changes.

★ Do you read what other people share about Astrology and wish you knew how to understand it for yourself instead of just accepting it as truth?

★ Do you want to know how the New Moon & Full Moon energies affect you personally, not just the collective?

★ Do you want to start weaving Astrology into your client sessions, healing work, Sound Healing ceremonies, yoga classes, or just your everyday life?

★ Do you want to learn how to match your content, your launches & your promotional materials with the energies that are most active in the collective?

★ Are you between 27-31 and wondering when life is going to get a bit easier? In your mid 40s feeling like your whole world is shifting? In your early 50s feeling all the spiritual downloads coming in?

★ Do you want to understand yourself & the people you love at a deeper level, with more compassion & less reactivity?

★ Do you want to feel guided, supported & in conversation with the cosmos every day, in both your life & work?

★ Do you want to look back at your past with new eyes and finally understand the deeper meaning of what you lived through?

All of this is available to you now.

Trust what you feel.

“I feel like the art of astrology was waiting for me to answer its calling. Internal doors have been unlocked for me and I am exploring new paths of remembering. I thought it would take me longer to understand astrology and offer readings to my clients but it just all clicked. I am blown away at how much I have learned. This was a powerful, fun, sacred and intensive journey through the stars and I highly recommend this program for anyone who wants to know how to read their birth chart and swim in the stars. And the most unexpected gift? An Astro Oracle card deck channeled through me as a result of this journey, a healing tool I never could have imagined before this course began.”

Jessica Valor

Spiritual Mentor & Master Healer, @jessicavalorlove jessicavalor.com Atlanta, GA

If you don’t know me, I’m Rakai’el, and I’ve been obsessed with the stars for as long as I can remember.

When I was 17 and living in Kentucky, I wandered into my parents’ closet and found a book on Astrology. I promptly drew up charts for myself and my friends. Looking back, I don’t even know how I knew how to do that.

Years went by and I turned my focus to other things. But in 2013 I found myself in a bookstore, knowing there was a book on that shelf that would change my life. When I finally found it, I was astonished to discover it was on Astrology.

Really? This again?

But the signs were unmistakable.

Since then I’ve studied with a Shaman who was also an Astrologer, mentored with another Astrologer who is also a mathematician & chemical engineer, and worked with clients for years, learning how the cosmic influences show up in our modern lives as living, breathing archetypal energies. I still receive a reading from my teacher every 3 to 6 months, because I believe the best teachers never stop being students.

I tune into the Astrological frequencies every morning to plan my day, support my clients, and make the big decisions in my life & business. This is the relationship with the stars I want for you.

In this course, I’m sharing everything I know about living in dynamic, devotional communion with the cosmos.

Most Astrologers and Astrological content you find online will tell you what the current cosmic energies are. But they won’t tell you how to locate those influences in your own chart, or what they mean specifically for your life.

This is the piece I am most passionate about teaching, because it changes everything.

When you stop accepting what others say about Astrology as truth & start understanding it for yourself, a whole new reality opens up. When you know a Saturn transit is coming, you can prepare. You can lean in, do the work, and come out the other side stronger. When you don’t know, it can feel like everything is suddenly hard and you have no idea why.

The stars have always been speaking directly to you. It’s time to remember how to participate in the conversation. 

I want you to feel empowered by the Astrological energies…. 

You deserve to know. 

Our Journey Through the Stars

12 MODULES · WEEKLY CONTENT · LIVE Q&A CALLS · INTEGRATION WEEKS

Our journey begins June 2nd and runs through October 6th, 2026. Each week, a new module unlocks for 3 weeks in a row, followed by a live Q&A call on the 4th week so you can ask questions, and dive deeper into the material. After each Q&A call we pause for a dedicated integration week, giving you time to practice, reflect, and truly let the learning land before the next cycle begins.

Each module contains 1-12 videos, from 10-30 minutes in length, with an average of 1-2 hours of content inside each module. Click any of the modules below to read the full description.

MODULE 1: INTRODUCTION - Outline of the Chart

We begin at the beginning. You will learn where your chart comes from, how to read its map, and how the different layers of the chart correspond to different layers of your psyche. We also cover the four angles of the chart: the Ascendant, Midheaven, Descendant, and Nadir, the cardinal points that orient everything else you will learn.

  • Welcome, resources, and how to get the most from this experience
  • Where does the chart come from?
  • Map of the chart
  • Layers of the psyche
  • Ascendant, Midheaven, Descendant, Nadir
MODULE 2: INNER PLANETS - Your New Best Friends & Guides

The planets are not just symbols on a page. They are living archetypal energies, and in this module you will begin to develop a real, felt relationship with the inner planets as spirit guides and allies in your daily life. We cover the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Jupiter, and explore how each one shows up personally in your chart, your emotional world, your mind, your relationships, and your business.

  • Sun: the light you are here to shine
  • Moon: emotional wellness, self-love, and lineage
  • Mercury: how your mind works and what it needs to thrive
  • Venus: love, aesthetics, and your unique branding energy
  • Mars: motivation, drive, passion, and inspired action
  • Jupiter: abundance and what you are here to expand into
MODULE 3: OUTER PLANETS - Teachers who shape your life

The outer planets move slowly and their influence runs deep. In this module you will develop a living relationship with Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Chiron, and Pluto, understanding not just what they mean in your chart but how to work with them consciously as teachers and transformational allies.

  • Saturn: discipline, devotion, and where you are meant to build long term success
  • Uranus: innovation and how to harness your disruptive power for good
  • Neptune: spirituality and where you can weave the mystical into the practical
  • Chiron: teaching from transformation and the gifts hidden in your wounds
  • Pluto: empowerment and where you are meant to be truly powerful
MODULE 4: SIGNS - The Archetypal Language of the Zodiac

Each of the 12 signs carries a distinct archetypal energy, and once you understand them you will begin to see them everywhere: in yourself, in the people around you, and in the world at large. This module is one of the most fun and illuminating of the entire journey.

  • The energy of each of the 12 signs
  • How each sign’s archetypal energy can manifest in both its light and shadow expressions
MODULE 5: HOUSES - Where the Magic Happens in Your Life

The houses are where the cosmic energies land in your actual, lived experience. They tell you which area of your life is being activated at any given time, and learning to work with them is one of the most practically useful skills you will develop in this course.

  • What each of the 12 houses means
  • Planets through the houses
  • Signs through the houses
  • Practical guidance for working with the cosmic energies in your daily life
MODULE 6: PAST LIVES + SOUL PURPOSE - From Karma to Dharma

This is one of the most beloved modules in the entire course. Here we go beyond the personal planets and houses to explore the deeper story your chart tells about who you have been, what you came here to do, and where your greatest gifts and opportunities for success are encoded in the stars.

  • From Karma to Dharma: how to harness your past life gifts
  • Where you have natural luck in your chart
  • Where you are destined for long term success
  • Where you are naturally powerful and what you came here to master
MODULE 7: ASPECTS: SACRED GEOMETRY IN THE CHART - Challenges

Your chart is not just a collection of planets and signs. It is a living geometric pattern, and the angles between planets tell a rich story about the tensions and growth edges in your life. In this module we explore the challenging aspects, learning to work with them as initiations rather than obstacles.

  • Conjunctions
  • Oppositions
  • Squares
MODULE 8: ASPECTS: SACRED GEOMETRY IN THE CHART - Blessings

The flip side of the challenging aspects are the blessings woven into your chart: the trines, sextiles, and rare geometric patterns that reveal your natural gifts, flow states, and areas of cosmic support.

  • Trines
  • Sextiles
  • Kites, Star of David, Mystic Rectangle, and more
MODULE 9: DAILY PLANETARY TRANSITS - Dancing with the Cosmic Weather

This is where astrology becomes a living daily practice. You will learn how to track the daily planetary transits and understand how they are activating your personal chart at any given moment. When you know the Moon is moving through your 12th house, you can honor your need for rest. When Mars moves through your 4th house, you can prepare for the extra energy and potential family dynamics it brings. This is how astrology becomes your compass, not just your calendar.

  • Tracking the daily planetary transits
  • How transits activate your personal chart
  • Conjunctions, oppositions, squares, trines, and sextiles through your chart
MODULE 10: UNDERSTANDING PLANETARY TRANSITS FOR THE COLLECTIVE - Astrology for Your Business, Your Content, and Your Timing

This module is where personal empowerment meets professional strategy. Here you will learn how the planetary transits affect people collectively, and how to use that knowledge to time your launches, plan your content, and speak directly to what your audience is already feeling. When the Moon is in Aries, people are primed to take action: a great time to close enrollment. When Mercury forms a sextile to Jupiter, it is an ideal day to send an announcement or launch an offer. When the Moon is void, you will know to hold off. This is the module that changes how you run your business.

  • How planetary transits affect the collective
  • Using the cosmic weather to time your launches and promotions
  • Reading the collective energies to make your content land with resonance and relevance
  • How to read larger planetary cycles into the future
MODULE 11: PLANETARY RITES OF PASSAGE - The Great Initiations of Your Life

Some of the most disorienting moments of our lives are actually ancient, predictable astrological initiations that every human being moves through. When you know what they are and when they are coming, everything changes. This module is essential for anyone in their 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, or 60s — which is to say, everyone.

  • 20s: WTF is my life? (Life before & after Saturn Return)
  • 30s: Jupiter Return – Abundance & Expansion
  • 40s: Uranus Opposition – the famous “Midlife Crisis”
  • 50s: Chiron Return – Spiritual Initiation
  • 60s: Second Saturn Return – Reclaiming Your Life
MODULE 12: ASTEROIDS + STAR FAMILY - The Deeper Magic in Your Chart

We close our journey with some of the most esoteric & magical material in the entire course. The asteroid goddesses add mythological depth to your chart, and the Star Family connections reveal the cosmic lineages you carry in your cells. For those drawn to the Lemurian Teachings, we also explore the Lemurian clues hidden within your chart.

  • Exploring the Goddess Lineages: Chiron, Lilith, Vesta, Pallas, Juno, and more
  • Star Family connections: Sirius, Pleiades, Arcturus, Orion, and beyond
  • Lemurian clues in the chart

“The transits class was my favorite, an eye opener on life lessons that gave me a push toward more integrity and discipline within myself. Since taking the course I’ve taken a deeper dive into myself, I’m studying and reading daily and I’ve even started giving chart readings to others, which I have found to be the best way to learn. I am more compassionate with myself and I understand what gifts and talents I brought into this life. This helps me be more confident in applying what keeps me happy and healthy.”

Birgit Humphreys

“When I signed up for Astro Empowerment, I went from not understanding how to read my natal chart to practically having it memorized. In the past, there was static and Rakai’el’s course reminded me how to tune into my heart and listen to these frequencies loud and clear. The inner planets taught me how to embody inner radiance, compassion, connection, creativity, and action. The outer planets continue to teach me how to lean into alignment with expansion, structure, authenticity, imagination, and transformation. This was one of the best investments I’ve made in self-discovery. It surpasses any personality assessment or test and awakened an ancient melody between myself and the planets that is truly heard from within.”

. Trust what you feel.

WHY STUDY ASTROLOGY ANYWAY?

Can’t I just read those Instagram posts for the Full Moon and New Moon? Or just ask ChatGPT about my chart?

You could. But here’s what neither of those can give you: a living, breathing, embodied relationship with the archetypal energies of the planets and signs that comes from truly studying them, feeling them in your body, and walking with them as allies over time.

The kind of knowing that means you can feel a Venus transit before you even check your chart. The kind of relationship where the planets stop being symbols & start being teachers.

There is a difference between receiving information about Astrology and actually knowing & feeling it in your body.

The planetary archetypes have so much to teach us, and it is through contemplative, lived experience that they can truly teach us. This is why this course comes with lifetime access to all content & updates, so you can return to it again & again as your relationship with the stars continues to grow.

Being able to collaborate with the Astrological energies is deeply empowering. For me it’s subtle. The Astrological energies show me the map of the terrain ahead, giving me the opportunity to decide how I would like to navigate it. I don’t let them paralyze me. The point is to collaborate with the planetary energies, not to let them rule your life. You have free choice in all of this. And that felt sense of connection, that living, breathing conversation with the cosmos, is something no app or algorithm can replicate. It has to be remembered from the inside.

This is why I am so passionate about helping you open these star lines of communication for yourself once more.

“I truly feel so much more confident in reading charts and understanding the energetic subtleties of daily transits. I know that I can now serve my community in greater ways, as I have a clearer understanding of this important subject. I now utilize astrology to converse about the daily, weekly, and monthly happenings as it relates to western astrology in my online work. I check my own chart fairly consistently to understand the energy of what’s to come on a month to month basis.”

“The most important take-away for me has been the EMPOWERMENT that has revealed itself in multiple layers. I’ve been deeply aware of the fact that I am the most important person in my life, and reading my birth chart, I remembered that it was me who chose the exact placements that make up who I am in this life. I would not have wanted it any other way. This experience has really set the stage for growth in my life and business. I’m taking note of what’s happening in the collective star-map from time to time, and sharing my services in accordance with what themes prevail in my community.”

DEDICATED INTEGRATION WEEKS After each cycle of 3 modules and a live Q&A call, we pause for a full week of integration. Use this time to practice reading charts, engage with your fellow students in the Telegram community, and commune with the Planets & Signs in your daily life. No overwhelm. Just deep, spacious learning.

LIFETIME ACCESS + ALL FUTURE UPDATES Once an Astro Empowerment student, always an Astro Empowerment student. You will have lifetime access to all course content and all updates made to the course over time. (I’ve reworked & revamped this course several times, and alumni always receive all the updates & new additions for free!)

A PRIVATE STUDENT PORTAL All of your course content lives in one beautiful, dedicated space, available to you any time you want to revisit, review, or go deeper.

A PRIVATE TELEGRAM COMMUNITY Connect with your fellow students, share insights, ask questions, and move through this journey alongside a community of magical souls.

BONUS! 10 PLANETARY GUIDED MEDITATIONS Ten guided meditations designed to help you attune to the energy of each planet in your body, not just your mind. These are some of our students’ most loved parts of the experience!

“I come from Chinese culture where children are seen but not heard. Shame was a big part of the system and rules were important to follow. I learned that I didn’t have a voice. I couldn’t express myself, who I REALLY was. This course gave me the solid foundation to step out into the world and express my authentic self. I discovered who I am. The biggest take-away from this experience was that I have a voice and I have the right to be who I am. I learned that I matter and I have a place in this world.”

Julie S. Ong, Author & Spiritual Life Coach

Is this course for you?

This course is for you if you are ready to stop being unconsciously affected by the stars, and start moving through your life guided by a deep connection to your starlight map that has always been inside you (and to help others do the same).

If you want to understand & love yourself so deeply that the people around you feel it. If you want to know how to support your child in knowing how magical & unique they are, why your partner responds in certain ways at certain times, and how to guide your clients to their truth with a deeper sense of trust. If you want to move through your life & your work with clarity & confidence that comes from truly knowing who you are and how supported you are by the cosmic energies around you.

This is for the healers, the coaches, the facilitators, the mothers, the creatives, the entrepreneurs, and the women who know they are here to make a difference, and who want every decision they make, every piece of content they share, every offering they put into the world, to be guided by something deeper than guesswork.

When you know the stars, you know yourself, and you feel safe & supported even in difficult times.

This course is probably not the right fit if you are looking for a quick overview. This experience is designed to be savored, not rushed. The relationship with the planets gets deeper & richer over time. Trust me, it’s worth it.

You know if you are called.

“The course helped me use the natal chart to determine areas in which planetary energies are best integrated and embodied. I check the weekly astro weather to ensure I’m working WITH the planetary energies, studying the transits to identify patterns and gain greater insight into their effect on houses and planet activations. I’ve pulled charts for my children and husband to ensure their moon sign needs are being met. I especially appreciated the approach of working with and dancing with the planetary energies.”

“The biggest insights for me are the ability to read my own chart and the deeper understanding I gained about the celestial influences in my daily life. It has given me a tool to understand my own experiences and also to help my clients get a better understanding of their experiences. I was struggling with the direction of my business and what I learned in Astro Empowerment gave me the answers I needed to move forward in confidence.”

A: All sales are final. If you have any questions before enrolling please email us at info@rakaiel.com and we will be happy to help.

Q: I don’t understand Astrology AT ALL, can I still take the course?

A: 100% yes! This course is designed to meet you exactly where you are. Whether you are a complete beginner or have been dabbling in astrology for years, Astro Empowerment will take you deeper than you have ever gone before. I am so excited for you to begin this journey.

Q: I understand the basics of Astrology and I’m looking for a deeper, more intuitive connection with the energies. Is this course for me?

A: Yes, absolutely. This is actually one of my primary intentions for this course: not just to share foundational information about astrology, but to help you develop an intuitive, lived, embodied relationship with the planetary frequencies. I want you to get to a place where you can sense and feel the planetary energies for yourself and then confirm what you have been experiencing by looking at your chart.

Q: Do I need to purchase any software for Astro Empowerment?

A: No software purchase is required. You can use the free website Astro.com to access your charts and look at transits. If you would like an app for your phone, I recommend iPhemeris for iPhone (currently $29.99) and AstroGold for Android (currently $26.99). Both also offer desktop versions but the mobile apps are more than enough.

Q: I don’t know my exact birth time and have no way of finding out. Will this affect my ability to take this course?

A: Not at all. In the first module we cover the Rising Sign and how it works, so that you will be able to recognize it when it manifests in your life. Combined with your own self-observation of your patterns and habits, it is possible to identify your Rising Sign even without an exact birth time. Alternatively many astrologers use 12pm as a default birth time when the exact time is unknown. Rakai’el has also shared more about this on her Instagram Reels, which you can find on her profile.

Q: Will this course allow me to offer Astrology readings for others?

A: Deciding to offer readings is a very personal choice and one that only you can make when you feel ready. Many of our students have gone on to confidently offer chart readings after completing the course, while others use their knowledge more in their daily lives, their businesses, and their relationships.

Q: What house system do you teach?

A: I use and teach the Placidus house system, which is the most widely used system in Western astrology. Using this system will give you the greatest understanding of the Astrology you encounter in the world and will make sense of things most quickly.

Q: Who did you study Astrology with?

A: When I was 17 I found an Astrology book in my parents’ closet and taught myself how to draw up charts. Since then I have done a year of mentorship with Erica Sandstedt, an incredible Shaman, Sound Healer and Astrologer, worked alongside Rebecca Farrar in my business for two years, and have been mentoring with an Astrology teacher who is also a mathematician and chemical engineer, which brings an extraordinary level of precision and depth to the craft. I receive readings from him every 3-6 months.

Q: What astrology software do you personally use?

A: I use iPhemeris on both my phone and my laptop. I love it!
