About
NCGR, the National Council for Geocosmic Research, is an international astrology education organization founded in 1971 and organized through a network of local chapters in the United States and abroad. Its stated mission is to gain insights and deeper understanding of the applications of astrology and similar arts for personal growth, professional development and a deeper awareness of the world around us.
The organization is best known for its education program, which has trained several generations of professional astrologers through a four-level certification structure: students sit examinations at each level as they progress from basic calculation and interpretation toward professional mastery, a testing ladder many astrologers consider the most rigorous in the field. NCGR's curriculum tracks cover natal and predictive work, horary, electional timing and medical astrology within its course offerings and special-interest education tracks.
Beyond certification, NCGR runs a member master calendar of chapter and national events, live webinars with an on-demand library, audio archives, a YouTube channel, current publications and a publication library, an active blog, and international delegate relationships that connect astrologers across borders. Membership is open to everyone from the curious to practicing professionals. The institution's stated mission: To gain insights and deeper understanding of the applications of astrology and similar arts for personal growth, professional development and a deeper awareness of the world around us.
