Sky Stories

5 weeks of collaborative learning for practicing astrologers.

Focus for this cohort: Traditional Timing Techniques for Modern Work

Begins May 27, 2025

What is Sky Stories?

Sky Stories is a small-group learning space for practicing astrologers.

Each five-week cohort is limited to eight participants and focused on a specific advanced topic in astrology. Summer 2025 is focused on forecasting.

We meet weekly for live teaching, case studies, and open discussion. You’ll leave with new tools, new timing techniques, and a trusted circle of colleagues.

This is not a lecture series; it’s collaborative, alive, and designed to support your actual work with clients.

Fluent, Intuitive Forecasting

Fluent, intuitive forecasting is one of the most powerful things you can offer your clients (and yourself!) Fluent forecasting isn’t about predicting specific events (although that can be a byproduct). It’s about tracking energetic cycles into the future, understanding the story arc of the events in your life, planning for maximum flow and alignment, and, of course, when things are tough, knowing when they’ll get better.

With good forecasting, you can move from feeling battered by a series of disconnected life events, to feeling held within the purposeful and meaningful story of your life. And you can share this wisdom and comfort with your clients.

What is above is like what is below, and what is below is like that which is above, to make the miracle of the one thing.

What It’s Like to Be in the Room

The vibe is quiet, smart, kind, and funny.

You don’t have to be an expert.

You do have to be curious, collaborative, and committed to showing up.

These cohorts often become long-term peer groups. They’re deep, focused, and surprisingly personal, because we’re looking at real charts, real lives, and real questions.

Astrology has for millennia been taught in direct mentor-and-student relationship, often in the context of small groups. I facilitate small cohorts with this traditional learning environment in mind. My goal is to foster intimacy and mutual respect, to create a space where you learn from me, your mentor, but also from your peers.

Over the years, I have seen many friendships and professional alliances blossom in my cohorts. I take pride in fostering calm, collaborative, secure-feeling, fun, and intimate learning spaces.

schedule

We'll meet every Tuesday for five weeks, starting on May 27, 2025. Calls are 90 minutes, starting at 2:15pm Pacific/4:15pm Central/5:15pm Eastern/10:15pm GMT

Our time in each session will include a check-in and homework review, my lecture and sharing on the day's topic, and discussion and chart work exercises using participant charts. In other words, you'll have time to share, time to learn, and time to practice.

sky stories is for you if

You are an enthusiastic student of astrology at an intermediate or advanced level
You already read charts, for clients or yourself
You want more fluency with traditional techniques, without dogma
You’re excited about timing, but also about ethics and nuance
You want to practice, not just listen

Bronwyn Simons

Hi, I'm Bronwyn!
I’m a predictive astrologer, artist, and astrology mentor with a deep love for helping people connect with the cosmic cycles in meaningful, grounded ways.

Before becoming a full-time astrologer, I worked as a professional illustrator, and I hold a degree in art history, so the visual and symbolic world has always been my home. My background also includes literature, depth psychology, and classical studies, and all of that informs the way I practice and teach astrology today.

I’ve been walking this path for over 30 years. My work is rooted in the elegant structure of traditional astrology, always guided by a modern, compassionate approach to client care. Whether I’m working one-on-one or in a group setting, my intention is to share astrology in a way that feels warm, wise, and truly useful, not only mystical, but practical and empowering.

I love helping people move through the big transitions in life with clarity and confidence, using the planetary cycles as a mirror for growth, embodiment, and spiritual connection. My students and clients often describe my style as kind, clear, and deeply rooted in the mystery of the Otherworld; and that’s exactly the space I hope to hold in this class, too.

"I am so grateful to Bronwyn for her intuitive approach, completely in alignment with my goal of creating a strong connection to my intuition and my SELF. I loved every minute of the course."

- Anne, a student in the 2021 cohort

"A complete reframe of what I thought I knew about astrology! Bronwyn really has a gift for framing, contextualizing, and explaining this complex topic. I'm SO glad I signed up for this class!"

- a member of the 2023 cohort

"Oh my golly it was FABULOUS! Where have you been all my life Bronwyn? I've been puttering around with astrology for ten years and THIS course is exactly what I've yearned for! Thank you so very, very much"

- student in the first Essential Astrology cohort
