Each class will feature an hour-hour and half of instruction followed by us looking at each student’s chart to see how what we have discussed “shows up” in a chart. Using one’s own chart is the best place to start when learning! Class size is limited to 5 so that each student may receive personal attention and have their questions addressed. Classes will also be recorded and available for students after the course is concluded.
Testimonials From Former Students:
Johnny Barnett with Charkrology has graciously given me the best guidance I could have ever asked for when learning what I’d consider one of the best tools of the world, Astrology. With once a feeling of being absolutely lost, Johnny helped to make it easy for me, teaching me the basics to the intermediate understandings with ease. I will never be the same after taking Johnnys class!! 1000% recommend!
–Alex W. OBX, NC
Johnny’s introduction to astrology course was both insightful and informative. It provided me with a solid foundation for understanding and interpreting birth charts and transits. Unlike astrology apps, this course offered a deeper, more comprehensive approach to understanding the relationship between the different planets and houses within a birth chart. I look forward to taking another course with Johnny that builds on the introductory course!

Johnny is a generous, thoughtful, lighthearted, and compelling astrologer and teacher. Since he first introduced me to the formal practice of personal astrology a couple of years ago, I’ve been very grateful to learn from him. He is special in his ability to share complex information and offer individualized spiritual guidance while giving equal amounts of focused attention to all the students in his groups.
