The decans, the 36 faces of the zodiac, offer astrology a tremendous level of texture and depth. Though long-neglected, the decans conceal a gleaming hoard of riches- a gallery of images with inestimable value to the student of esotericism.
This 6 week class explores the application of the decans or faces to astrology. We’ll take the time to explore the rich historical symbolism of each decan and look at example charts which illustrate the themes which the ancient images allude to.
In addition to spending time with each and every one of the 36 decans, we’ll also cover the general rules which concern their use. We’ll deal with what “dignity by face” is and how it works in practice. Furthermore, we’ll also take a look at how the decans have been used in various magical systems, and go over the traditional method for creating talismans based on the decans.
The decans have the potential of really enriching what you might already know about the astrology. The extra depth the decans add is invaluable. Now I want a class on bounds and terms! 😁. Thanks so much Austin!
I love this class. It is so rich and makes a much better story when reading charts. It makes me want to take more classes from him. And i definitely want a reading when he can do it again. He’s a wonderful teacher. This is a wonderful class, and I highly recommend it.
Really enjoying the Decans lectures. I’m a painter and graphic artist and it is really inspiring me to do some natal portraits of people. You are so talented at description. Thanks so much.
This was just what I needed, thank you so much. As a tarot enthusiast it was great to understand the differences between astrological decans proper, and the decan 'Pip card' definitions I know well. Also really interesting to hear about using them to create talismans. Must say a huge thank you to Samatha who really supported me when I had questions about the course, a true star :)
I am loving the series but wish it came with the two hour in depth history lecture mentioned in the recording. I also would love if there was a book reference list as I have tried to find some of the titles mentioned and can't find the books.
The Decans: Images and Applications 8 Recording Series
I got these lectures while I’m waiting for the re-release of 36 faces. And it did not disappoint. The correlation of tarot and astrology has helped me better understand both in practice together and separately. I plan on getting the whole astrology tarot series next!
So, Austin’s legendary book/talisman “ 36 Faces: The History, Astrology and Magic of the Decans" is completely sold out, we can only find on private market for thousands of dollars, And, no bootleg, pirate version, free pdf anywhere ( trust me! )
So…. This masterclass is the only alternative source for the book’s material and no other modern astrologer did such a deep work solemnly on Faces/Decans , coming up with original images based on years of research and spiritual work - I leaned this on Austin’s interview about the books release, episode 20 of wonderful The Astrology Poscast.
In summa, if you want to deep dive into the energy of the decans "this is the way!”.
PS. Shout out to T. Susan Chang’s book 36 Secrets: A Decanic Journey through the Minor Arcana of the Tarot, also a great source but just from tarot perspective.
Loved the content of these lectures; but in the first lecture Austin refers to a supplemental resource on the history of the decans that he would be supplying to his class (presumably the audience of the lecture when this was recorded). I was definitely hoping that would also be included. He does provide a brief history, but my curiosity is piqued about the more in-depth lecture that he provided to the original students of this lecture, and I wish it would have been included!
