Resources for Astrological Study

Our products are designed to assist you in tracking the current celestial movements, their conversations with one another, and their interactions with your personal natal chart. They offer data that is relevant for astrological interpretation, but they generally do not provide synthesis of the data presented. On this page, we've begun to compile some resources to aid your study when working with the almanac!

Honeycomb workshops

In 2022, we presented a free virtual workshop to our newsletter subscribers called How to Use Your Honeycomb Almanac. You can view a recording of the workshop and download its materials here.
