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.

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.
