Transmission
Transmitting an astrology
of consciousness
To teach not a technique, but a path. For more than fifty years, Samuel has accompanied those who wish to make their birth chart a true instrument of self-knowledge and inner growth.
The spirit of the teaching
Freed early on from purely technical constraints, Samuel sees the birth chart as a mandala — a support for meditation and self-knowledge, in the lineage of Dane Rudhyar, who entrusted him with the mission of transmitting humanistic and transpersonal astrology. It is not a matter of learning to “read” a sky map, but of setting out on a path toward what is right for oneself.
My aim is not to teach astrology, but to lead those who come to work with me to begin a reflection on themselves and to grow into what is “right”.
Samuel Djian-Gutenberg
Today: personalised cycles
After thirteen cohorts since the school’s founding in 1995, the regular four-year curriculum has come to an end. The transmission now continues in a more flexible form: personalised training cycles, designed after an interview, for those who wish to approach astrology not only from a technical standpoint, but as a tool for understanding the meaning of one’s life and aligning the personality with the soul.
Occasional seminars
Samuel also leads seminars on subjects he could not fit into the curriculum:
- Mundane astrology
- Derived houses
- Horary astrology
- Harmonics and Arabic parts
- Astrology and dreams
- Astrology and meditation, drawing on the Yoga Sūtras of Patañjali
A transmission that continues
Beyond teaching, transmission today also takes place through writing — memoirs and essays — and through the creation of oracles and supports for symbolic meditation.
