You Can Study Polestar Astrology with Dr. Anne Shelton Crute!

We have two live, online, mixed-level study groups for working through foundation theory and the practical application of Chinese Polestar Astrology with Dr. Anne Shelton Crute. One is for beginners which begins in September. The other is an ongoing class that began last year, but which has ongoing enrollment. This class includes lecture material, Q&A sessions, and review of case studies.
