Crash Course
for Practitioners

Astrology for hypnotists. Read the chart as a map of the mind you're about to work with.

For hypnotists, coaches and practitioners with no astrology background. By the last class you'll pull a client's chart before the first session and streamline your planning with what it tells you: which part of them you're actually talking to, the language they'll hear it in, and where the resistance is going to come from.

Why this exists

You already read people for a living. The chart tells you where to look.

Some clients you just click with. You know what they need before they finish the first sentence. Others, you're guessing: asking good questions, hoping one of them lands, and relying entirely on what they can tell you about themselves. And people don't always know what's driving them.

A birth chart is not a horoscope. It's a pattern unique to one person, and it shows the unconscious patterns, the defenses and the fears before they say a word. Your client doesn't have to believe in it. You read it behind the scenes, and they just get a better session.

Astrology gives you the map. Hypnosis helps you make the trip.

This class teaches the map, in the simplest system there is: seven traditional planets, whole-sign houses, one reading formula. Built for people who do what we do, not a generic astrology course.

The three keys

Before they say a word

Everyone talks about Sun signs. For our work, three placements tell you the most. You'll be reading all three by week three.

↑

The Rising sign

How they meet the world. Their default defense. Your rapport target: get past it, or you're working with the mask and not the person.

☽

The Moon

The unconscious. What they need to feel safe, and what comes up in trance. A difficult Moon often shows exactly why they're in your office.

☿

Mercury

How they think and how to talk to them. Imagery, logic, story or sensation: Mercury tells you which language to use.

Charles Buckingham
Hypnotist · Astrologer · Army veteran · Co-owner, Colorado Springs Hypnosis

Charles has spent over a decade helping people create real change, and he was a hypnotist before he was an astrologer. He picked up astrology out of curiosity, then noticed something he couldn't un-see: the chart showed him where a client's anxiety, anger or stuckness was coming from before the client could say it. It didn't replace hypnosis. It supercharged it.

He's certified in hypnosis, astrology and Reiki, teaches with a warm, down-to-earth style that's occasionally funny and always practical, and built ZodiaLux, the astrology platform this class is taught inside.

Questions

Before you decide

I've never studied astrology. Is that a problem?

No. The class is built for exactly that. Week one starts from nothing and every class builds on the one before it. If you can learn a hypnosis induction, you can learn this.

Do I, or my clients, have to believe in astrology?

No. Think of it as a diagnostic scan. The car doesn't have to believe in the scanner. You read the chart behind the scenes and the client just gets a better session. Plenty of the practitioners who use this were skeptics first, Charles included.

Which astrology is this?

Traditional: the seven planets you can see with your eyes, whole-sign houses, and the five major aspects. No outer planets, no asteroids. It's the simplest system that works, and simple is what you want when you're reading a chart between clients.

Do I need ZodiaLux?

You'll use it in class, and a free account is enough. You'll get setup instructions before we start so you arrive with your own chart already there.

Is this only for hypnotists?

It was built for hypnotists and it's taught in their language, but the reading formula is the same for coaches, counselors, readers, bodyworkers, or anyone else who sits with people in close work.

What if I miss a class?

Every class is recorded and you'll have the recording for the rest of the series. Live is better, because you'll read charts with the group, but you won't be left behind.
