"I was first drawn to NCGR because I was looking for a reputable certifying organization. Not only did I find a rich community of people who are just as passionate about astrology, but also world renowned teachers. In a world filled with endless 30 second videos on horoscopes, as an NCGR member you have access to affordable classes, lectures, and workshops that are based on ancient techniques and above all a deep respect for the study of astrology. I'm so grateful for NCGR's dedication to this and the friends I've gained in this community."
