“Aspects are the conversations between planets—and when you learn to listen, the chart begins to speak with clarity, depth, and purpose.” — Georgia Stathis
If you’ve ever looked at a birth chart and felt like something important was happening—but couldn’t quite name it—you’re not alone. For many astrology students, aspects are one of the most challenging parts of chart interpretation. They can feel abstract or overly technical… until they don’t.
That’s why I created The Essential Aspects Course.
I’ve been practicing astrology professionally since 1977, and one thing I’ve learned is that when you truly understand aspects—the dynamic conversations between planets—you unlock the soul of the chart. You begin to see the tensions, opportunities, and turning points not as random lines on a wheel, but as powerful forces shaping a person’s life path.
My approach is practical, visual, and rooted in decades of experience. Whether you’re a visual learner, an auditory processor, or someone who learns by doing—you’ll find something here that helps the concepts “click.” We’ll explore the five major Ptolemaic aspects, dive into the lesser-known but potent minor aspects, and connect all of it to real-life timing and progressions. You’ll also get reference guides, visuals, and interactive sessions that help you build lasting confidence in your interpretations.
There’s never been a better time to join—because now more than ever, we need guides who can help others understand their lives through the symbolic language of the stars. Whether you’re studying for personal growth or to support others through coaching or consulting, understanding aspects is absolutely essential.
I hope you’ll join me for this enriching, hands-on journey. Let’s bring those chart conversations to life—together.

Course Schedule
Inside Your Weekly Curriculum
WEEK 1: Aspect Essentials & Numerological Keys
Begin your journey with a clear breakdown of the Ptolemaic aspects—conjunctions, oppositions, trines, squares, and sextiles. Georgia will explain where these aspects originate from, how they’re formed, and why they matter in interpretation. You’ll also explore the powerful numerological structure behind each aspect, adding deeper meaning and memory aids to your studies. With helpful visuals and simple language, you’ll gain confidence in identifying and understanding aspects at a glance.
WEEK 2: Aspect Dynamics — Phases, Progressions & Patterns
Once you’ve got the basics down, Week 2 dives into how aspects evolve over time. Georgia introduces the concept of waxing vs waning aspects—why the direction of an aspect tells a bigger story about its influence—and how aspects change through secondary progressions. You’ll also learn to spot subtler, often overlooked angles like semi-sextiles and quincunxes, and understand their role in internal tension and growth. This week equips you to see aspects not as static, but as unfolding energies in motion.
WEEK 3: Timing & Real-World Application
In the final week, you’ll learn to integrate what you’ve learned into actual chart interpretation. Using real natal charts, you’ll explore how aspects activate across the lifespan through age cycles—major transits and returns of planets like Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus. Georgia will walk you through how these predictable timings create key turning points in life, helping you recognize when an aspect is likely to express itself most powerfully. By the end of this week, you’ll be equipped to apply aspects meaningfully in readings and your own life.
