Hi, I'm Sean
If you've ever dipped your toe into Chinese metaphysics, or even just skimmed an annual zodiac forecast (we all do it!), I hope you'll take a few moments to get to know me.
I hope you'll enjoy the story of my journey, what I'm striving to achieve, and how I'm dedicated to bringing a fresh perspective to this industry that is largely unregulated and benefits at the expense of the misguided public.
If you're serious about learning the basics of Chinese astrology, I'm confident you'll find my courses are designed to be far more informative and genuinely engaging than anything else you've seen.
The Annual Zodiac Forecast Scam:
Annual zodiac forecasts are pure nonsense and go against all BaZi theory. You do not simply look at the Year Branch and disregard more than 75% of the chart, nor ignore even the 10-Year Phase (大运).
If you want to forecast your life, do it properly. This course teaches you how to do that, and I'll be here to guide you.
Map Your Destiny and Direct Your Future with BaZi (八字)
BaZi (八字), literally meaning "Eight Characters," is a traditional Chinese system for analysing destiny, also widely known as the "Four Pillars of Destiny." It is a form of Chinese astrology that uses a person's birth details to create a unique chart.
Use BaZi to understand your character, potential, life journey, and tendencies because the Year of the Fire Horse beckons!

What students say about
Sean's teaching.
"Sean doesn't just tell you what — he tells you why. After years of reading horoscope columns and feeling like nothing quite fit, this course finally gave me a framework I could actually use."
"I've taken other metaphysics courses. Sean's are in a completely different league in terms of rigour and intellectual honesty. He has no patience for watered-down nonsense, and neither do I."
"The level of detail and care in the lesson content is remarkable. This is clearly built by someone who takes the subject seriously and expects students to do the same."

You know the parts.
Now learn how the chart breathes.
After Foundations, most students hit the same wall. They can identify a Sun in Leo or a Saturn in the 7th — but a chart is more than a list. It's a living system of dignity, dispositorship, aspect, and pattern. This course is the bridge from identifying parts to reading the whole.
Aspect Patterns
The Grand Trine, T-Square, Grand Cross, Yod, and stellium — patterns that bind multiple planets into a single dynamic and reshape the whole chart.
Classical Dignity
Domicile, exaltation, detriment, fall, triplicity, term, face — the traditional system that tells you whether a planet can actually deliver on its promise.
The Lunar Nodes
The axis of evolutionary direction. North Node and South Node by sign, house, ruler, and aspect — and the eclipses that activate them.
Synastry & Composite
Two charts meet. How they overlay, what aspects they form, and what the composite midpoint chart reveals about the relationship as its own entity.
Twelve modules. Seventy-two lessons.
One complete intermediate education.
Each module takes a single technique and teaches it the way a working practitioner uses it — with the logic explained, the edge cases addressed, and the application made unmistakable. Six lessons per module. Self-paced. Lifetime access.

Where most courses stop,
this one begins.
Most "intermediate" astrology courses are warmed-over beginner content with a few extra keywords. This one takes the techniques real practitioners use — and teaches them with the same logic-first rigour that defined Foundations.
A decade of practice.
Distilled into method.
I have spent over a decade dismantling the barrier between "ancient wisdom" and "modern logic." Since 2014, I have practiced metaphysics professionally, building a reputation for technical precision in BaZi, Zi Wei Dou Shu, Qi Men Dun Jia, and Western natal astrology.
This intermediate course exists because too many students finish their first astrology class with the right vocabulary and the wrong instincts. They can name what's in a chart, but they can't yet read it. Deepening Your Practice is the missing layer — the one that turns a vocabulary into a fluent language.
By the end of this course you will not only understand aspect patterns and dignity tables — you will use them to interpret real charts with confidence, and you will know exactly why each judgement holds.
Before you
commit.
Twelve modules. Seventy-two lessons.
