A 12-week holistic learning journey with Belinda Matwali
START DATE: September 2026
Enrolment OPEN: Early enrolment includes private tutorials with Belinda
An Astrology Course For Personal Development
The fundamentals that actually let you read your chart, taught through astrology’s ancient roots, with a modern, trauma-informed lens.
Spiritual Nutrition Astrology™ is a blend of Archetypal Astrology, Psychological Astrology, trauma-informed approaches as well as Inner Astrology (your intuition, your self-awareness, and meta-cognition). This course has been created carefully to distill the very fundamentals you need to be able to read your chart, and be able to reflect and contemplate the aspects in your chart.
I created this course because as a student myself over the years I was frustrated that in many “level 1” courses you learn a lot of ‘information’ but feel no closer to putting it together or reading a chart. In this course I’ve truly stripped back to the true fundamentals of astrology, which is the planets and how they relate to each other. By the end of this course you truly have the ABC’s to start working with, and understanding your chart.
“I loved this course, I learnt so much, but it didn’t feel overwhelming. I was really sad when it ended. ”
The course is a blend of:
Archetypal and Psychological Astrology (in archetypal astrology the primary focus is on the planets and how they relate to each other)
Trauma-informed psychological understanding
Inner Astrology, meaning your metacognition or self awareness, intuition, lived experience and inner sensing
Meditation and Yoga Nidra
Mythic storytelling
The Fundamentals of Astrology taught are:
Understanding the planetary archetypes
Discovering how the planetary archetypes interact and relate to each other - The Aspects
Trusting your Inner Astrology
Finally then using the above, to learn from your own experience of the planets through reflection and contemplation
Why This Blend of Teachings?
Having knowledge of all the main planetary archetypes and how they relate, plus inner astrology is enough to understand a chart without creating crazy overwhelm. This course gives you the confidence to explore your chart, recognise the themes shaping your life, and understand astrology as a tool for healing, insight and emotional intelligence.
When we learn about the planets first, we can then layer them into relation to each other. What is Mars square Saturn like? What potential qualities does Neptune opposite Venus have? If a lunation is conjunct or opposite our natal Mars how does it change that? Understanding the planets is a very strong foundation.
At the same time, astrology is MORE than just information. In this respect I deeply believe that Meditation and self awareness is just as valuable, as astrology is not something outside of us - we are our astrology. Everything in the universe is connected, the planets aren’t doing things to us, their qualities and positions have been a way for us to describe and make sense of what we are experiencing. So coming back to our body sensations our intuition, our real time experience is everything. In this way we blend the outer knowledge with the inner knowing.
What Makes This Course Different
So many astrology courses give you plenty of knowledge like the zodiac, the planets, the houses; but when you sit with your chart afterwards, you’re not sure how to bring it all together. I’ve felt this frustration and so have designed this course differently. I’ve also brought a both ancient and modern approaches together, so weaving in meditation and mystery school teachings of the glyphs, as well as modern trauma informed views. I’ve listed out some of the key differences about the course below.
1. Inner Astrology as a Core Foundation
I see Astrology as far more than just ‘knowledge’. In spiritual mystery schools astrology was taught alongside meditation, contemplation and self awareness. The key to really working with astrology for personal development is to be able to use practices like meditation to connect to the divine universal existence that connects everything. From this place you can access your inner intelligence, intuition and true in-formation. Spiritual Nutrition Astrology begins with you gaining access to my best selling Addicted To Being Meditation course that shares the science and mysticism of meditation in easy to understand and experience way.
2. Analogue wellness for enhanced learning and self empowerment
This is an online course that’s actually designed to take you offline!! There’s a downloadable 138 page guidebook and downloadable meditations and planetary yoga nidras so you can connect to your ‘inner wi-fi’ far away from screens and your phone and continue to study and contemplate your study and your chart. Yes you can use tech to tell you about astrology but this course is about empowering your ‘inner tech’. Chat GPT has been shown to reduce our brain capacity, this course is about building your intelligence. I recommend printing the workbook and you’ll have a keepsake of building up your chart. There’s sections to journal about every planet, and practice drawing your chart.
3. We work with the planetary glyphs
Each week we break down the ancient symbols within each planetary glyph. This is a mystery school approach that most modern courses skip entirely. But learning to read and understand the planetary symbols opens up astrology to you in a whole new way. So rather than overwhelming you with lots of areas of information we go deeper into the planets since they are the main players in a chart. Many people join as they know a lot about the zodiac but feel they don’t have a well rounded knowledge of the planets.
4. Learn and Integrate Aspects Early On
This is probably the biggest structural difference from other fundamentals courses. Most teach you the zodiac, planets and houses, and then stop. So you leave with quite a bit of information, but can’t connect anything in your chart. I this course I bring in aspects after you’ve grasped the personal planets, so you’ll start working with aspects and experimenting quite early on, and as the course progresses we then explore the outer planets and add them one by one into looking at your aspects so you’re learning through experience very early on.
5. The Trinity: Psychological Astrology + Trauma-Informed + Meditation
Astrology is ancient. However as cultures change, we need astrology that matches our way of thinking. Long gone are the days of only planets and very superstitious thinking that was constructed around class and if you were of ‘noble birth’. Today we have much more influence over our lives, our access to complex psychology, the rise of ‘trauma informed’ approaches and the renaissance of meditation. The trauma-informed lens influenced by my training with Dr Gabor Maté’s Compassionate Inquiry means there are no ‘bad’ placements, no fear-based readings, but rather seeing a spectrum of potential shadow sides and higher sides in each placement.
6. No birth time required
The beautiful thing about focusing on the planetary archetypes is that it’s not essential to have your birth time to understand your chart and your life. Of course knowing your birth time helps with knowing your Angles (AC, DC, MC, IC) and the houses, but even without that, just working with the planets and their relation to each other alone, you’ll see that you can gain a lot.
7. A Personal Development Learning Pathway
The Fundamentals is the ABC’s of astrology. It’s a stand-a-lone course that will serve you well. However, in true mystery school style, the real learning comes from “living a wisdom”. Graduates can apply for the 13-month Spiritual Nutrition Astrology Immersion which a small, intimate group where we live astrology together through real time transits, zodiac seasons and ongoing chart work. This is continuously referring again and again to everything in the Fundamentals Course and really living your astrology for a rich immersive learning experience. A course for reading charts for others using the SNA approach is also scheduled for 2027.

“I really learnt how astrology is within us. I think I used to see it as something predominantly outside of us. Viscerally learning the energy of the planets through the yoga nidra I found really helpful it added another layer, not just theoretically learning about the planets, but being able to feel them energetically. This influenced my own ability to use my intuition when reading my own chart.”

Your Teacher, Belinda Matwali
Hi I’m Belinda Matwali, I’ve studied meditation, astrology and trauma-informed work with best teachers in the world. I’ve collaborated with leading luxury and wellness brands, creating unique astrology experiences with high end brands such as CHANEL Beauty in Ibiza, Casamigos in Amalfi Coast, Prangell Jewellery in London. I’ve been a resident astrologer at Six Senses in Ibiza and currently resident astrology at the prestigious Surrenne wellness members club by the Maybourne Hotel group that includes Claridges and the Connaught hotels. As well as my luxury experience offering sessions and retreats globally I’ve spent decades honing my craft, from many many visits to India to sit with masters, training with my spiritual mentor about european mystery school lineages and a lifetime of curiosity and passion to continually learn astrology. You can learn more about my trainings, qualifications and life experience on my by ABOUT PAGE.
WHY THIS COURSE: A MESSAGE FROM BELINDA
This course come together during the Summer of 2025 and the first taste of the Neptune in Aries transit. I strongly feel this speaks to a new time where there’ll be a shift towards people learning at least the basics of astrology in combination with more self guided meditation practices for spiritual empowerment. We still have teachers and guides, but when we cultivate our own knowledge and experiences, we develop independent thinking and intuition (Neptune in Aries).
That’s why I’m teaching Spiritual Nutrition Astrology Fundamentals as a personal development journey, designed to help you tune into your own inner wisdom as much as outer knowledge.
Being able to muse and contemplate on our own charts is priceless! I still love having the occasional reading from another astrologer that I admire, but I’d never be able to pay someone for the hours I’ve poured into my own chart, contemplating different aspects. It’s a very valuable life skill.
I think we’ve got so stuck in learning things that we need to then to teach others, but astrology is something were the value comes back a thousand fold into our own lives, so learning astrology definitely doesn’t need to be just so you can be an astrologer. Astrology to me is so much more than just information to pass on, it awakens something inside of you.
The Saturn and Neptune conjunction is Aries in 2026 is the beginning of a new cycle of radical discernment and self empowerment. I also want to add, that in a time where the world is tech and AI crazy, this is your invitation to remember that strengthening your inner tech and power of awakening your inner astrology is so so important in your sovereignty.

FAQs
-
Most astrology trainings focus on memorising signs, planets and houses but you still can’t read a chart. This course is different, we focus on the planets at a rich level and how they relate, reducing overwhelm, but really getting to the core of your chart. It is an astrology course for personal development — taught through a spiritual, trauma-informed and archetypal lens. Instead of downloading information, you learn to feel the planetary archetypes from within, understand their psychological depth, and build a relationship with your chart that is intuitive, embodied and personal. It’s a blend of ancient symbolism, modern self-inquiry and lived experience. The goal is not to make you dependent on interpretations, but to help you develop your own inner astrology.
-
Most beginner courses try to teach everything at once — signs, houses, planets, aspects, nodes, transits. It sounds exciting, but it often leaves people confused, overwhelmed and disconnected from the real heart of astrology.
In this course, we go deeper rather than wider. The planets are the core architecture of astrology. When you understand the planetary energies first, everything else becomes intuitive and far easier to learn later.
This course lays the foundations so you can eventually explore signs and houses with clarity, confidence and a strong felt sense of your inner astrology.
-
None at all. You don’t need to have studied astrology before, and you don’t even need your birth time. The pre-course modules give you a light introduction to the zodiac and houses, and the course itself focuses on the planets and their archetypes, which is the true foundation of reading charts. Whether you’re a complete beginner or someone who has explored astrology but wants a deeper, more grounded approach, you will feel at home here.
-
Most students spend around two to three hours a week engaging with the content. The pre-recorded teachings can be watched at your own pace are around 45min, and the live calls are where we integrate and deepen the material together are roughly an hour including the yoga nidra. The other time would be allocated to personal reflection and journaling on your chart. Some weeks may feel more immersive, especially when we first introduce the aspects, but the course is intentionally designed to support your life, not overwhelm it.
-
Yes, you will have a solid foundation to begin reading charts, especially through the lens of planetary archetypes, aspects and psychological themes. You won’t become a professional astrologer in twelve weeks, but you will understand the essential building blocks: the planets, their meanings, their interactions and the emotional landscape they describe. This is the foundation required for any deeper study. If you choose to continue with the 12-month mentorship, you’ll refine and expand your reading ability significantly.
-
Absolutely. Many people join because they want a deeper relationship with themselves, more emotional vocabulary, or a spiritual framework that feels grounded and meaningful. This course is for anyone drawn to astrology as a personal growth tool, not only for those who want to become astrologers. If you’re curious about your own inner world, your patterns, and the archetypal energies shaping your life, this will be a supportive and illuminating journey.
-
The course is run live in September each year. If you feel called to join, I encourage you to follow that intuition, as the next cohort may not be for some time.
-
Yes. I want this work to be accessible, and payment plans are available at checkout. This allows you to move through the course without financial pressure and to choose the option that feels most supportive for your circumstances.
-
Yes. After completing this course, you’ll have the option to join the 12-month mentorship, where you’ll deepen your understanding of transits, map your year ahead, work with the zodiac seasons in real time, and anchor astrology into your daily life. It is a beautiful way to integrate everything you’ve learned and continue your journey in community.
