Confidently interpret and read charts!

"I decided to take Linda’s Certification Level 1, after completing her “Find Your Highest Potential Class”. I knew I wanted to take my knowledge of reading natal charts to a deeper level and refine my abilities to be competent at reading natal birth charts for other people. 

Linda has developed a system that made it easy to put all the knowledge that I had learned into practice. I can now confidently interpret and read charts for other people.  - Tricia Veltri, British Columbia, Canada

Take your chart interpretation to a new level!

"I have thoroughly enjoyed Linda Mendonsa’s “Astrology Certification” class!” I have studied Astrology for many years as a hobby, but until I had the opportunity to take her “Finding Your Highest Potential” and now her “Certification” class, I had a difficult time pulling everything together. 

She is very explicit in her instruction, and provides organizational tools that have brought the interpretation of my chart, as well as others, to a whole new level. An added bonus is working with like-minded students, from all over the world, learning astrology! - Sheri Baldwin, Nebraska, U.S.

I really enjoyed and appreciated Linda’s Astrologer Certification course because of her clear teaching methods, the easy to follow structure of the class, and the in depth instructions on how to read natal charts. Linda is extremely attentive to her students and my questions throughout the course were elaborated on and answered with care. I came into the class after taking two Level 1 courses and they did a great job preparing me for the more intensive lessons in this course. I recommend this course to anyone who is wanting to start or continue their journey in reading charts for other people in a more intentional way.

Knowledge for your healing journey!

"In The Certification Program, we take the knowledge from Level 1 to the next dimension of depth with practical techniques to dissect charts with ease following Linda's guidance. All I have learned so far has changed my perspective of understanding the nature and behavior of my 5 yr old child (a fiesty energetic Aries Sun) , family, friends, loved ones and clients in my spiritual healing practice. 

This program helps you to use Astrology to deep dive into the human psyche as a primordial part for one's healing journey by looking at how we think, process emotions, how we learn and digest information, how we partner with others, how we act in service of others and our community, how to define our soul's purpose and highest potential. 

Super excited to enroll in Level 2, 3 and the respective certification programs as well to continue to learn from Linda's expertise! " - Vicki Carr, New York, U.S.


Next step on your astrology journey!

"I'm glad I decided to take Linda Mendonsa's Chart Astrology Certification program. It's allowed me to utilize all the foundational skills I learned about astrology in the course, Find Your Highest Potential. It enabled me to Interpret charts using my own words and intuition and allowed me the opportunity to give an astrology reading to another student in class. 

This course provides foundational tools, practice, and applied experience for anyone wanting to take the next step on their astrological journey." - La'Ryn E. Williams, California, U.S.


So much value!

You give so much value and practical information and also teach it in a way that makes me feel good about my learning process. 🙏❤ Thanks!" - Ella Staes, Germany

I have taken many of Linda's courses and ENJOYED them all. I think that she's a great teacher who always over-delivers, her lessons are easy to follow and come with extra content downloads. The Certification Chart Reading Intensive Course is perfect for understanding how to pull all the information from the chart into an overall reading. We learn many things like; what plays out strongly in a person's chart, their strengths, and weaknesses, and how to identify possible solutions. It is a very active course, that's fun and rewarding to do.
