Rebecca’s class easily surpassed my expectations, and then some. She is a brilliant astrologer, excellent teacher, and a wonderful guide in learning the energy of the stars. What I didn’t expect was how deeply I have gone “into myself” throughout the class. Delving into my own chart has brought priceless riches.
Barbara Phillips, Career / Retirement Coach
Rebecca exceeded all of my expectations. She holds an amazing group container and is such a great teacher.

Although I’ve been working with astrology for many years, I love to take classes to keep my skills sharp. So when a few friends sung the praises of Rebecca Gordon, I decided to check her out.

I’m glad I did. Rebecca has a way of delivering information that is clear and practical. Plus she is generous with her knowledge - each class is jam-packed with info. Even though I’m an “old dog,” I have learned so, so much. If you’re a beginning astrology student, you’ll be in good hands with Rebecca. And if you’re a seasoned astrologer you will be too. I’ve been so impressed that I’m continuing my studies with her.
Theresa Reed, The Tarot Lady
I took Rebecca's Beginner's Astrology course almost 4 years ago and have carried the knowledge with me ever since. The way she broke down all of the information was very engaging and each class felt like I was learning a new part of myself through the lens of my chart. I highly recommend her course to any astro-curious folks out there!
Zara Louy, Health Coach
I first met Rebecca years ago and have so admired her astrology practice. After a long interest in astrology, I finally decided to take the dive to study astrology for myself. Rebecca’s Astrology School is wonderful. I love her perspective, pace, and organization of the class and will be continuing on to the next level of astrology education in January. Rebecca is not only a talented astrologer, but also a talented teacher. Thank you so much, Rebecca!
Kate Belew, Writer, Witch, Consultant
Rebecca’s Beginner Astrology course has taken my love and knowledge for the energy of the skies to a new level. I love how she deep dives into the mythology and energy of the planets—it’s not just flash-card, fortune teller words. She gives you a foundation for counseling others about their birth chart.
I was so impressed with the office and study hall hours and our amazing class teacher assistants. I have notebooks full of information! To have access to Rebecca who is such an incredibly gifted and experienced astrologer is truly what makes this a unique life opportunity. We created small constellation groups and it feels like I found my people. My group will be continuing together in the Art of the Reading Mastermind. The bonds that were created in this class are unbreakable. I really do believe the stars bring us all together at the right time, in the right place. I learned so much about myself, my values, the way I think, the way I act, and my patterns.
Sharon Millas, Business Consultant
Rebecca's Beginner Astrology class was absolutely delightful. This is a perfect class for those who want to get a strong foundation on how to read natal birth charts. Rebecca and her course have inspired me to learn more and help others through the practice of astrology.
Erin Dolan, Social Media Coordinator
I took Rebecca's Beginner's Astrology and it was such a great class. Rebecca explains astrology in a way that you can easily understand. I highly recommend studying with her if you want to learn astrology.
Alexa Rivera, Reiki Practitioner
Rebecca Gordon’s astrological wisdom and comprehensive astrological school is warm, inclusive and a fully comprehensive exploration into the ancient and modern art of astrology. RGA provides a platform which allows her students to dig deep into what astrology means to us, as well as presenting it from a historical context. Her students have room to grow within her highly structured program, and regardless of where they are in their own development I would say all students feel by the end of class that they had all their questions answered. I knew by investing in classes I would finally gain a truly solid grasp of the material, which was something I personally felt was required before moving forward professionally. I have had the great pleasure of taking classes with Rebecca Gordon and can attest that, regardless of what your own experience is, her classes will still provide unique and invaluable insights into the world of astrology giving you an invaluable command of the material. Her wisdom and experience is both thoughtful and ethical, which frankly, is not necessarily the norm, and what you come away with ~ is gold.
Louise Larsen, Activist, Astrologer
If you are looking to level up in the world of astrology then Rebecca Gordon’s courses are the perfect route to take. Rebecca’s Beginners astrology course opened up a new realm of astrology for me. After taking this class I feel that I have the tools to give a natal chart reading, and a clearer vision of how to even further my learning. Not only that, diving into my own birth chart through this course gave me a deeper understanding of myself. Rebecca does a wonderful job of laying the foundations you need to become a great astrologer. I hope to continue on to further classes. Thanks Rebecca!
Mallory Mumford Artist/Plant Care Specialist
Rebecca is such a cool teacher. You know those teachers that you loved in school. Rebecca would have been one from childhood. She is calm, relaxed, smart and fun. Her Astrology School is approachable and friendly. You will learn so much and actually remember everything because her approach is so friendly.
Natalie Niksa- Chef, Mom, Entrepreneur
Loved learning Astrology with Rebecca! Her online course lays a solid foundation for any beginner student. Highly recommend it.

Rebecca’s class easily surpassed my expectations, and then some. She is a brilliant astrologer, excellent teacher, and a wonderful guide in learning the energy of the stars. What I didn’t expect was how deeply I have gone “into myself” throughout the class. Delving into my own chart has brought priceless riches. SO MUCH GREAT INFORMATION! As a testament to my love of astrology, this class, and in particular, Rebecca, I have signed up for a 4-class Art of the Reading following this class, and then Intermediate Astrology. I cannot recommend this class more highly!!
Barbara Phillips, Career / Retirement Coach
I just finished the Beginner's Astrology class and all I can say is WOW!!! This entire course blew me away. As someone who has invested countless hours into astrology self-study, Rebecca's guidance took my understanding to a whole new level! I waited two years to take this class, and it was worth every penny. Thank you to Rebecca and the entire team! I feel confident in starting my professional astrology journey and have already signed up for two more courses.
Kayla Davis, Student / Future professional astrologer
In all the years I've known Rebecca, I have had the privilege to learn from such a compassionate, joyful, and wise mentor. I have enrolled in her Beginners, and Intermediate Astrology programs, and it has surpassed my expectations! After graduating these two programs, I have decided to take this route as my career. Even in the field, I have had private mentorships to take my education to a top level tier as an astrologer. Through her, I have learned to synthesize my natural gifts with astrology, and found my calling as an intuitive astrologer. As your guide, she will help you along your journey to self-awareness and realization.
Lumi Pelinku, The Celestial Astrologer
My experience taking Rebecca’s Beginner’s Astrology class was invaluable. As a yoga instructor/entrepreneur, the skills I gained from this intro class left me with the ability to give wonderful birth chart readings that have greatly increased the value of my business offerings. And, through learning about my own birth chart, I developed a more loving relationship to myself in the process!
Eli Walker, Founder/CEO, Drunk Yoga®
Rebecca Gordon is an expert in her field! I took her Beginner's Astrology Class in 2019 and found her to be extremely inspiring. The course provides the fundamentals necessary in order to meaningfully dive into a natal chart. Rebecca is a seasoned teacher and shares her knowledge clearly and generously. I would recommend this course to anyone interested in exploring astrology!
Davena Levine, Psychotherapist
After years of personal astrological studies, I had hit a wall. It was impossible for me to fully grasp the more complex subject matter through dense books and the interesting but complicated webinars I found online. Enter Rebecca Gordon's Astrology School. I happened upon her Beginner's Class at the exact right time (total kismet vibes) and was excited to have finally found the class I was endlessly searching for. Rebecca's lively virtual classes and thorough reading list allowed me to (finally!) fully grasp Astrology and the more tough-to-understand topics through her accessible yet rewarding teaching style. I highly recommend Rebecca's classes to all budding Astrologers and cosmic seekers who want to further their studies in an engaging learning environment.
Hayley Elisabeth Kaufman, Writer + Co-Founder of The Sphinx and the Priestess
Signing up for Rebecca Gordon’s online Beginner’s Astrology Class was one of the best decisions I made in 2020. I’d always been “interested” in astrology, and even had a few classic books on the subject, which were a bit overwhelming. Rebecca’s class changed all that and sparked a deeper interest that gave me a significantly increased level of understanding -- allowing me to take my knowledge much further. Her intuitive, graceful, and empowering style of reading was an amazing model to behold, and the connections I made with other classmates was another game-changer.
Simone Sidwell, MSLIS - Peace and Conflict Studies Program Coordinator, Grinnell College
Astrology is so healing, especially after taking the Beginners Astrology course with Rebecca. As someone without astrology knowledge, I understood the information and learned to read for others, which has become very healing for my clients. Rebecca's deep astrological wisdom has changed my life in meaningful ways.I look forward to becoming a professional astrologer!
Shayla M. Rose, Intuitive Healer
Rebecca’s very clear, concise and incredibly knowledgeable insights and instruction about the planets and signs offered me a fresh perspective and deepened my knowledge exponentially. I’ve come out of her class with not only a clearer understanding, but also greater confidence in my ability to read charts. Rebecca puts everything into layman's terms, making the info fun and accessible, so that any novice will easily be able to grasp the lessons. She also provides such rich information so that those more in the know will also find the course really engaging. It’s a great opportunity to learn from someone who truly is a master in their field.
Vanessa Mason, Astrologer
Rebecca’s “Master The Birth Chart” Beginners Astrology Class is a perfect first step for those looking to get serious with astrology. I’ve taken countless astrology classes, but this helped take my astrology skills to the next level. The class is well structured and truly of a more serious academic level. If you have been struggling to find a course to begin your path towards a career in professional astrology, look no further.
The Cosmic Bombshell, Astrologer
Rebecca exceeded all of my expectations. She holds an amazing group container and is such a great teacher. She guides you through the birth chart with her vast knowledge while also encouraging each student to lean into their intuition as they grow in their studies. I now feel like I have a solid foundation and understanding of the birth chart, where before joining [the course] I only had bits and pieces with a less than complete understanding. Thank you Rebecca for your thoughtfulness and amazing guidance throughout this course.
Kyley Koeth
I am nearing the completion of Rebecca Gordon's 'Beginners Astrology' course and I cannot express how grateful and impressed I am! I thought I had a good foundation for my astrology practice, but Rebecca helped to thoroughly peel back to the roots of astrology in a way that has empowered my practice immensely. [Rebecca is] engaging and knowledgeable, [and now] my foundation is stronger than ever. I look forward to building on it in the future with the support and mentorship from Rebecca, her courses and her amazing team!
Natasha Williamson, Aspiring astrologer
Rebecca Gordon is a talented astrologer with a distinctive voice. I had a foundational understanding of astrology before the class. This twelve-week course deepened my knowledge, introduced me to new techniques, and provided unique perspectives on how to work with the astrological weather for daily life. I still use her daily technique of working with the moon to optimize my life cycles. There is a Facebook group to connect with your fellow students. The class is fun, interactive, and informative.
Celeste Brooks, Astrologer
I’ve learned astrology by myself for years but never really got it. Rebecca’s Beginners class covers everything you need to know to fully understand natal charts. Once you are done with this class, all you have to do is practice. She will teach you all the basics and never get into complicated things or material you need to know beforehand. I highly recommend this class for individuals who are interested in astrology as well as individuals who want to be professional astrologers.
Mai Naka, Attorney
I took the Beginner Astrology class Rebecca teaches and it was so JAMMED PACKED with incredible information. She delivers all the knowledge in a very easy to digest way but doesn't hold back on how much she teaches you, which I was surprised about given that many level 1 courses only give you a teaser of the next courses. Would highly highly recommend.
Marie-Eve Gingras, CMO of a start-up
Rebecca’s course, Beginners Astrology, was fun, informative, and well-organized. She has created aesthetically pleasing slideshows for every class to supplement the lectures. As a visual learner I found this to be an added bonus and something to refer to after class. You will be inspired by Rebecca’s enthusiasm for astrology and for teaching. She strives to create a supportive and welcoming astrological community, for all levels of ability. I was grateful to have access to this online course and to meet fellow students through our online pod work. I chose to take this class after having had a few readings with Rebecca over the last decade. I had my natal chart done by her in 2010, and over ten years later I still refer back to it!
Sara Parilli, Art Teacher, Illustrator
Rebecca is both a gifted astrologer and teacher! I have always had a love for astrology, but it has only been through my classes with Rebecca that I finally feel ready to share my knowledge with others. Whether you are just starting out, or have been studying for years, Rebecca's classes are unique and engaging. Each student has the opportunity to contribute and share, and the classes are recorded, so you have lifetime access to her expertise! Watching Rebecca shine light on a birth chart is fascinating, and she provides so much insight and wisdom. I can't say enough great things about her courses. If you are feeling called, I highly recommend signing up!
Dana Hauser, Pre-School Teacher, Cardiff CA, Part Time Aspiring Astrologer
I recently completed Rebecca's Beginners Astrology 12-week course and I would highly recommend this to any Astrology-lover who is looking to deepen their understanding of the fundamentals of Astrology. Whether you're a complete beginner or someone who has been studying for years, I know you will get something new and valuable out of this course. Upon completion, I have a much deeper understanding of myself, my own chart, and much more confidence in exploring the charts of others. Rebecca has a great way of explaining Astrology in a holistic way, and much of what she taught us is based in her decades-long experience of reading charts -- information you can't get in any everyday Astrology book. She adds nuance and fresh perspective in her teaching style, and I got a lot of value out of the community that she formed with fellow Beginner Astrology students. If you're thinking about signing up, do it -- you won't regret it!

Rebecca Gordon is an incredible astrologer with a wealth of knowledge and a high level of integrity. She’s very thorough, genuine, honest and real.

Lumi Pelinku, Professional Astrologer
Rebecca helped me become a professional astrologer. I have a successful business both in the US and internationally. I couldn’t have done that without her. She is encouraging. She believes that there is enough room in the astrology world for young astrologers. She will believe in you. She will become your advocate by becoming your friend.
Adam Elenbaas, Professional Astrologer
Rebecca is a warm and engaging teacher. She opened up my eyes to all the possibility in my natal chart. Connecting with her has been so transforming for me. I will never be the same - in a really good way.
Veronica Winsch
The class really feels like a true spiritual community: supportive, intimate and inspiring. I will miss our weekly gatherings!

Whether it's a personal reading, taking an astrology class, or spending time on a retreat with Rebecca Gordon, you will be forever transformed and see your life through a different lens. Rebecca is a gifted and highly engaging teacher who guides you through understanding astrology with grace and ease. That understanding in turn leads to greater compassion for yourself and others. Rebecca is also a wonderful connector and I'm grateful for such beautiful friendships and inspiring students I have met through studying with Rebecca Gordon over the years.
Jamie Watkins, Assistant Principal for NYC Board of Education
Wow! Probably the most informative course I've ever taken. Rebecca has a way of transmuting the collected wisdom of the planets and stars into our own tangible consciousness. And this comes from more than the years of experience she has had. Rebecca invites her students to be fully themselves and bring their true essence in the astrological practice. If you're looking to have a deep understand of astrology and the ability to be the catalyst for transforming lives, this is the class for you.
John Thurmond
Rebecca is the best! One feels drawn to be in her presence in hopes of absorbing even a little bit of the vast knowledge she has accumulated from years of in depth study on this magical topic. Her enthusiasm, eloquent manner, and humanistic approach make her a unique vessel for translating astrologic messages into tangible information that can be used in the here and now. I have had a reading, taken her beginner and intermediate courses, and will be privately mentoring through the summer. I can't recommend her enough!
COURTNEY O’REILLY PROFESSIONAL ASTROLOGER
Rebecca is an incredible teacher, and like all great teachers, she will change the way you see the world. Rebecca brilliantly and compassionately weaves together the planetary and the personal, opening your eyes to all the archetypal energies buzzing through us all. Not only have I found a new passion in Astrology, but I have become much more open to myself and others in the process.
Jennifer Matthews
I met Rebecca years ago at a workshop she was teaching. I was immediately drawn to the lightness and life that she brings to the ancient art of astrology - she makes it so accessible and fun, without sacrificing any of its depth and life-changing potential. It’s been such a joy to be in her astrology school. I’ve gained a much deeper understanding of myself, and seen how we are all “wired” really differently, based on studies of natal charts. This has helped me to be much more patient and understanding with my friends and family ;) And, the class really feels like a true spiritual community: supportive, intimate and inspiring. I will miss our weekly gatherings!
Peter Poljan, Real Estate Agent
The Rebecca Gordon Astrology School far exceeded my expectations in terms of the depth of the material and amount covered even in the beginner's semester. Rebecca guided us much further than what I would consider a beginner-level.
Rebekah M.
“As above so below, as within so without” means that the macrocosm of the galactic space above ultimately reflects the microcosm of life on the terrestrial Earth below. Rebecca Gordon will truly open your eyes and mind to what you ‘see’ above, so you that you will understand what is happening below. It is a one of a kind experience that will enhance and enrich anyone’s life!
