The Missing Foundation in Modern Astrology

Most of us first discover astrology through our Sun sign or the daily horoscopes.

If your curiosity is sparked, you may look deeper and discover the birth chart.

At this point, you begin to pick up books, search the internet, attend workshops, and gather all the information you can.

It's easy to get caught in a wave of perspectives, opinions, and astrological arguments about what form of astrology is the "most accurate" — and that is where many of us remain.

This type of astrology is nothing more than a belief system filled with dogmatic analysis, and fortune-telling.

What if I told you there's a missing cosmological foundation within our modern-day astrology?

A missing link to the energetic origins of astrology, embedded within the movements and cycles of nature.

It's so easy to skip the first step, diving into the mental information and missing the living heartbeat of astrology.

Learning the “what” of astrology, but never looking into the why, where, and how.

Why do the signs represent what they do? Where do these archetypes come from? And how do I access and interact with them?

My journey began when I was fifteen, and I found a book called "The Only Astrology Book You'll Ever Need".

I discovered my birth chart and realized that the title of that book was a lie.

I started devouring everything I could find about astrology. From books to classes, to astrological get-togethers.

And the deeper I went, the more this feeling began to grow that something was missing.

I struggled with the over-generalized explanations and the dogmatic views held by much of the astrological community - the focus on forecasting and reducing living humans to symbols on a chart.

I grew tired of hearing people discuss which house system was best, why Western astrology is better or worse than Vedic astrology and on and on.

I started to get the feeling that we were all just playing the "telephone game" we used to play as kids... it seemed like we were all just parroting what we had heard from someone else.

I reached a point where I had memorized "What" everything in astrology meant. But I wanted to know the "Why, Where, and How".

I wanted to see it and come to know it for myself...

After deciding there was more to astrology than I was learning from books, I put them all down and went outside.

I started to focus my attention on nature and the elements that give us life.

I felt that if astrology is describing a living pattern of life, then I should be able to see these patterns everywhere.

Then one night, everything came to life. I was sitting in a cedar grove gazing up at the stars, and a vision arose within me. And these living cosmological stories of the signs, planets, and houses of astrology were born.

These stories wove together every aspect of astrology in a way that I had never heard before. Nature revealed everything and allowed me to 'make sense' of astrology and work with it through my own senses.

It was that 'aha!' moment when everything just clicked. From that point on, nature became my teacher and the source of all the astrological wisdom that I use today.

And the seeds planted that night under the stars would grow to become what is now The School of Living Astrology.

This one-of-a-kind program is world’s apart from your average astrology course. Through this journey you’ll learn the core energetic patterns of creation so that you can develop an experiential understanding of the natural origins of astrology.

In SOLA Online, you will build a complete vision of astrology through direct interaction with nature, the seasons, and the elements over the course of a year. This way the signs, planets, and houses of astrology come to life as you get to know each one in real time.

You’ll gain a solid foundation to grow in any direction in your own astrology practice, whether you’re advanced or just starting out. With the wisdom and knowledge gained through your connection to the natural world, your ability to recognize astrological patterns will soon become second nature.

The SOLA Online program includes 45 video lessons divided into four seasonal modules, with a fifth module that weaves them all together. Each module dives into the astrological archetypes of its corresponding season.

This is the most complete and comprehensive curriculum you'll find that is dedicated to learning "from" astrology... not just “about” it.

The framework for these modules follows the seasonal cycle through an entire year, allowing you not only to learn from the class but also to directly perceive and interact with the living archetypes you will be learning about. This program is focused on life itself and utilizes the lens of astrology in order to see the underlying energetic architecture of creation.

A true living astrological journey...

The SOLA program used to be an in-person apprenticeship that cost $2000 and required you to live nearby. You had to pay for food, lodging, and travel.

In my own studies, I’ve spent tens of thousands of dollars on books, courses, readings, and above all... Time.

So you might expect something like the SOLA Online course (a 15 month journey with over 50+ hours of video lessons) to cost $5,000, $10,000, or even more. In fact, most of my students have told me it’s worth that much or more.

But you can get started today in the SOLA Online program for just $147.

When does the program begin?

• March 15th the first introduction lesson will be available. Then a new lesson will be available each week (Tuesdays are release days).

How many videos are included?

• SOLA Online consists of 45 videos and with the *Bonus 13 videos of the Seasonal Cosmology program you get a total of 58 lessons!

How long will it take me to complete the course?

• SOLA online is a total of 15 months’ worth of lessons with roughly 1 video per week. But the program is a journey, and you get lifetime access. And when updates are made, you get those too, so technically it never completes. Think of it as a resource and not a one-and-done course.

Will I be a certified astrologer after completing this program?

• If you apply and experience these teachings, nature will certify you! But no, there is no certificate offered from the School of Living Astrology at this time. However, there is a certification program in the works, and completing the SOLA Online program will be one of the requirements.

Will I be able to open my own astrology practice after completing this course?

• It all depends on you... Simply memorizing what you learn in SOLA Online is not enough—and not the point. However, if you fully engage yourself in the journey, you will have established a solid foundation to begin creating a potent and helpful practice.

What makes this course different from other astrology programs?

• SOLA Online is not just a mental learning course based on charts and memorization. It’s a guided adventure and journey to the heart of all astrological wisdom, with the goal to awaken a vision of astrology within the heart and mind of each student. This journey is an initiation where you must earn your wisdom and receive it from nature, the elements, and your own experience.

What if I don’t like it? Do you offer refunds?

• Yes, there is a “Spark-Sign” 30-day money-back guarantee. Try out the first few lessons and if it’s not right for you, we give a full refund.

Do you offer payment plans?

• Yes. There are pay-in-full and 4-payment options, as well as a monthly payment option of 12 payments.

What kind of support is included with the course?

• One-on-one through seasonal conference calls, a Facebook community page and student group, and a comment section below each lesson.

I’m totally new to astrology. Is this course for me?

• Absolutely! This is in my opinion the best program to begin your astrological journey with. It’s the program I wish I had when I first started!

I’ve been studying astrology for years. Will I learn something new through this program?

• Yes! This way of learning is just not available anywhere else. This program is a deeply personal journey in learning and integrating the entire framework of astrology within yourself and nature, bringing it to life and into your heart. We have had multiple students who already had been practicing astrology take SOLA Online and, to quote them, "SOLA is my astrological bible that I turn to before each client session" and "I learned more in 1 hour than I have learned in my 30 years of astrological studies. These teachings filled every gap within my understanding of astrology and brought it all together!"

I reside in the picturesque evergreen state of Washington with my herbalist wife Mamie Wartelle, and our two children, Aurora and Asa. I am an astrologer by profession and endeavor to revive the art to its roots as a means of comprehending ourselves and fostering balance and harmony with our surroundings. Through storytelling and observing nature's living elements, I seek to impart this vision of astrology to others. Working one-on-one with clients, I utilize the birth chart to facilitate healing, self-awareness, and provide a clear vision to move forward.

I have named my unique style and approach to astrology "Living Astrology" as my emphasis is on living in tune with the present moment and nature's cycles. I am neither a fortune-teller nor magician; rather, I am a compassionate astrologer who is genuine in my desire to help others believe in themselves and achieve their maximum potential. As an artist at heart, I enjoy creating with my hands, imbuing my works with meaning and narrative. I am a film photographer, painter, leatherworker, beadworker, and overall enthusiast of creativity. Additionally, I delight in playing the Native American flute, harmonica, guitar, mandolin, and banjo.

My spiritual journey is one of healing, incorporating prayer and the wisdom imparted by the elements, plants, and animals. I respect, learn, and follow the traditions handed down from our elders and ancestors, who held life as sacred.

“Tyler Penor is a painter of visions and the planets and constellations are his colors. So many books and different teachers present astrological knowledge in a way where you feel the need to memorize or study vigorously to grasp and hold on to the seemingly complex astrological system. My appreciation lies in the grounded and practical story-telling ways that Tyler so naturally interprets. The ancient way of storytelling is a way to plant wisdom that is difficult to forget. The more a story is heard or is meditated on, the more new knowledge and wisdom is slowly revealed to us. Tyler is a heart-based astrologer who I feel is honestly about to change a lot of people’s perspective on the way astrology is understood today. Moving out of the current mind-based, matter-of-fact, research and memorization patterns and into the living, feeling, energies and heart perspectives that Tyler sheds light on with his language of the stars, in a visionary and artistic way, is an example of how we can reconnect to our deeper selves, to nature, and to our higher purpose.”
