Lori Lothian’s Sky Reader 6 week course

Guest Teaching: Zodiacal Releasing Oct 23 2025

As a part of renowned Astrologer, Lori Lothian’s, Sky Reader: a 6 week astrology course for beginners.

This class provides an in-depth exploration of Zodiacal Releasing, a powerful predictive timing method from ancient Hellenistic astrology. Students will learn how to calculate and interpret Zodiacal Releasing periods from the Lots of Fortune, Spirit, and Eros, and understand how these periods divide a life into larger “chapters” and smaller “sub-chapters.” We will examine how this technique reveals long-term themes, identifies peak periods of heightened activity, and pinpoints transition points that often align with major life changes.

Throughout the class, we’ll work through a series of chart examples, including public figures, authors, famous actors, musicians and personal case studies. These examples illustrate Zodiacal Releasing in action from billion-dollar book deals and breakthrough career moments to relationship milestones and pivotal life redirections. Seeing the technique applied across different lives and contexts will help students understand its range and nuance.

Special attention will be given to recognizing the qualitative difference between peak and non-peak periods, interpreting Level 1 through Level 4 sub-periods, and understanding the role of loosing of the bond in shifting life directions.

By the end of the course, participants will have a working framework and understanding of:

• Calculating the Lot of Fortune, Spirit & Eros (body & fate, career & purpose, love & relationships)
