Most people begin their astrological journey by learning their Sun sign or reading horoscopes. Some go deeper—studying their birth chart, attending workshops, and consuming every book they can find.

But in this pursuit, it’s easy to get caught in contradicting theories, mental overload, and endless interpretations—missing the deeper why behind astrology itself.

Astrology was never meant to be just a mental exercise. It was born from observing the living rhythms of the natural world. The signs, planets, and houses weren’t randomly assigned meanings—they arose from real energetic patterns woven into nature, time, and the cosmos.

The problem is that modern astrology skips this step, leaving students with disconnected facts rather than direct experience.

The Living Astrology model changes that. Instead of just learning astrology, you will see it in action, feel its presence in your daily life, and develop an intuitive connection to its wisdom.

What if the key to understanding astrology wasn’t in learning more—but in learning differently?

When I first started studying astrology at fifteen, I devoured every book I could find. I memorized the symbols, studied aspects, and tried to make sense of my birth chart. But something always felt missing.

The dogmatic rules, the debates over house systems, eastern vs western, and the endless theories felt disconnected from the deeper wisdom I knew astrology must hold. I wanted more than just knowledge—I wanted wisdom and understanding. I wanted to feel astrology’s truth in my bones, not just in my mind.

That’s when I looked beyond the books and turned to nature.

One night, nestled among the cedar trees beside a flowing creek, I gazed up at the clear night sky with a deep and open question in my heart. In that stillness, the connections revealed themselves. I didn’t just think about astrology—I felt it. The planets, the rhythm of the seasons, the living presence of the cosmos all around me—it was no longer just theory. Everything finally made sense, not as abstract ideas, but as a tangible, living force moving through all of life.

That moment changed everything. It set me on a path of deep exploration—one that eventually led me to create The School of Living Astrology, where astrology isn’t just something to study, but something to live and experience firsthand.

This isn’t just another astrology course—it’s an initiation into astrology as a lived experience.

Over the course of 15 months, you’ll learn astrology in its natural rhythm—one sign, one season at a time. Instead of overloading yourself with disconnected concepts, you’ll immerse yourself in each sign’s energy as it’s unfolding in real-time.

In this program, you will:

• Observe astrology in nature, seeing how the signs, planets, and elements express themselves in the world around you.
• Learn how to work with astrology as a tool, not a label, using your birth chart as a guide instead of a fixed definition.
• Discover astrology’s true origins, accessing the core patterns of creation that formed astrology and all nature-based wisdom traditions.
• Move beyond predictions and fortune-telling, shifting toward astrology as a way to navigate life with clarity and alignment.

This is not a program that tells you who you are or what will happen to you—it’s a program that gives you the tools to see life’s patterns, make informed choices, and live in harmony with the present moment.

"Tyler is a heart based astrologer who I feel is honestly about to change a lot of people's perspective on the way astrology is understood today."

The SOLA Online Program follows the rhythm of the seasons, providing a fully immersive, year-long learning experience. It includes 45 video lessons divided into four seasonal modules, with a fifth module that ties everything together.

Each module explores the astrological archetypes of its corresponding season, aligning your learning with the natural cycles of the Earth and sky. Through this framework, you'll build a solid foundation rooted in direct experience—transforming astrology from abstract theory into something tangible and deeply personal.

This is the most complete and comprehensive curriculum available for learning from astrology, not just about it.

A true living astrological journey…

To experience this level of astrological transformation, you'd typically have to piece together multiple courses, books, and teachings—yet still, you might never find a journey as immersive and experiential as SOLA Online. This program is truly one of a kind.

For years, SOLA was only available as an in-person apprenticeship, requiring students to invest over $2,000, plus travel, lodging, and time away from home.

Now, through SOLA Online, you gain the same depth of learning, structure, and guidance, but with the freedom to study from anywhere, at a pace that allows for real integration. Unlike other programs that bombard you with disconnected information, SOLA is a gradual, immersive journey—moving at the speed of Nature. Lessons unfold with the seasons, giving you the time and space to absorb, apply, and truly experience astrology as a living, breathing force in your daily life.

Take your first step into SOLA Online today for as low as $125 a month.

When does the program begin?

• March 19th the first Aries lesson will be available. Then a new lesson will be available each week (Tuesdays are release days).

How many videos are included?

• SOLA Online consists of 45 videos and with the *Bonus 13 videos of the Seasonal Cosmology program you get a total of 58 lessons!

How long will it take me to complete the course?

• SOLA online is a total of 15 months’ worth of lessons with roughly 1 video per week. But the program is a journey, and you get lifetime access. And when updates are made, you get those too, so technically it never completes. Think of it as a resource and not a one-and-done course.

Will I be a certified astrologer after completing this program?

• If you apply and experience these teachings, nature will certify you! But no, there is no certificate offered from the School of Living Astrology at this time. However, there is a certification program in the works, and completing the SOLA Online program will be one of the requirements.

Will I be able to open my own astrology practice after completing this course?

• It all depends on you... Simply memorizing what you learn in SOLA Online is not enough—and not the point. However, if you fully engage yourself in the journey, you will have established a solid foundation to begin creating a potent and helpful practice.

What makes this course different from other astrology programs?

• SOLA Online is not just a mental learning course based on charts and memorization. It’s a guided adventure and journey to the heart of all astrological wisdom, with the goal to awaken a vision of astrology within the heart and mind of each student. This journey is an initiation where you must earn your wisdom and receive it from nature, the elements, and your own experience.

What if I don’t like it? Do you offer refunds?

• Yes, there is a “Spark-Sign” 30-day money-back guarantee. Try out the first few lessons and if it’s not right for you, we give a full refund.

Do you offer payment plans?

• Yes. There are pay-in-full and 4-payment options, as well as a monthly payment option of 12 payments.

What kind of support is included with the course?

• One-on-one through seasonal conference calls, and now with Kajabi we have an entire community students area (It's like our own little student social media platform), and a comment section below each lesson.

I’m totally new to astrology. Is this course for me?

• Absolutely! This is in my opinion the best program to begin your astrological journey with. It’s the program I wish I had when I first started!

I’ve been studying astrology for years. Will I learn something new through this program?

• Yes! This way of learning is just not available anywhere else. This program is a deeply personal journey in learning and integrating the entire framework of astrology within yourself and nature, bringing it to life and into your heart. We have had multiple students who already had been practicing astrology take SOLA Online and, to quote them, "SOLA is my astrological bible that I turn to before each client session" and "I learned more in 1 hour than I have learned in my 30 years of astrological studies. These teachings filled every gap within my understanding of astrology and brought it all together!"

I reside in the scenic evergreen state of Washington with my wife, Mamie Wartelle, an accomplished herbalist, and our two children, Aurora and Asa. As a professional astrologer, I am dedicated to restoring astrology to its foundational principles—a discipline for deepening self-understanding and cultivating harmony with our natural surroundings. By integrating storytelling and the study of nature’s elemental forces, I aim to share this authentic perspective with my students and clients. In private consultations, I employ the birth chart as a tool to promote healing, enhance self-awareness, and offer clarity for navigating life’s journey.

My distinctive approach, which I have termed “Living Astrology,” emphasizes alignment with the present moment and the cyclical patterns of nature. My grand vision is to spark a movement that shifts astrology away from the generic, pop-culture fortune-telling lens and into a grounded, practical realm. I seek to illuminate the natural roots of astrology—its ties to the elements and nature—bridging them into today’s world to help people navigate life with purpose and thrive in connection to the earth and one another. Far from a mystic, I am a compassionate practitioner committed to empowering others to recognize their strengths and realize their highest potential.

Alongside my work in astrology, I am a multidisciplinary artist, channeling creativity into film photography, painting, leatherworking, and beadwork—each piece infused with intention and narrative. I also find joy in performing music on instruments such as the Native American flute, harmonica, guitar, mandolin, and banjo. My spiritual practice is deeply rooted in healing, drawing inspiration from prayer and the profound lessons of the elements, plants, and animals. I hold great respect for the wisdom passed down by our elders and ancestors, who regarded life as sacred, and I strive to embody these values in both my personal and professional endeavors.

“Tyler Penor is a painter of visions and the planets and constellations are his colors. So many books and different teachers present astrological knowledge in a way where you feel the need to memorize or study vigorously to grasp and hold on to the seemingly complex astrological system. My appreciation lies in the grounded and practical story-telling ways that Tyler so naturally interprets. The ancient way of storytelling is a way to plant wisdom that is difficult to forget. The more a story is heard or is meditated on, the more new knowledge and wisdom is slowly revealed to us. Tyler is a heart-based astrologer who I feel is honestly about to change a lot of people’s perspective on the way astrology is understood today. Moving out of the current mind-based, matter-of-fact, research and memorization patterns and into the living, feeling, energies and heart perspectives that Tyler sheds light on with his language of the stars, in a visionary and artistic way, is an example of how we can reconnect to our deeper selves, to nature, and to our higher purpose.”
