Pausing and collecting your thoughts while giving a presentation makes it much easier for your audience to pay attention and learn. I can’t imagine listening to somebody speak nonstop for 2 hours! Lol

Thank you for your humble offering Richard. A lot of impatient people out there! I prefer to hear something from the heart than a script.

An unbelievable lecture. Yeah the speaking might be a bit slow but this is still way more condensed and superior to any 400 dollar seminar teaches in a 3-day weekend in a conference room sponsored by a new age company that has 'zen' in their name or something like that. Don't listen to fools like vermillion. Dude needs to go smoke a fatty with Neptune. Your pauses gave me time to take in the info and even have the time to be entertained by it. I just imagined you were taking sips of a fine whiskey during the pauses. kind regards

Protip: if a speaker in a video is speaking too slowly for your liking, you can always use the KZfaq settings to play at 1.25x speed

I have been trying for years to learn astrology and I always get overwhelmed and give up. Your 3 part series is just perfect. I have learned so much from these 3 videos. Thank you sooooo much!

Richard Fidler is hands down the best astrologer I have ever come across for explaining this complex subject matter. Congratulations on a job very well done and thank you for sharing this.

I love how slowly you speak !! This type of teaching style works very well for my learning style! So I wanted to take the time out to say Thank You sir for bestowing this knowledge upon me!!❤

The pauses allow us to digest the info. Great 👍🏾 job. I'm getting a lot from this.

Wow, the whole correlating the planets and the chakras is so fascinating to me!

I myself like the tuning fork analogy, due to the idea that the earth is known to resonate at a certain frequency, as do the other planets in our solar system. If you strike two tuning forks at varying distances from your body, as well as varying distances between the tuning forks, you'll perceive different resonances, harmonies, discords, etc, with these varying geometrically related positions of the tuning forks. This is how the body and mind can perceive the planetary vibrations at varying positions, discordant, harmonic, etc. Well done

I really enjoy the way you teach. Your voice and cadence is calming... you make it easier to "feel" the essences of the various components of the science. Just wanted to say thank you.

25 minutes in Richard has already thoughtfully connected several astrological "dots" for me! I so appreciate the care that went into the creation of this video and look forward to watching the rest of the series.

Wonderful - thorough and rich. I like your pauses, they give me time to think. Thank You!

In your first lecture you take an arcane subject and make it clear, understandable, and an actual pleasure to learn. Looking forward to more.

Thank you for sharing your languaging of astrology. Having been an astrologer for four decades, I understand how difficult it can be, at times, to communicate one's understanding of astrology by translating it into ordinary language. Some of the most profound teachers are halting in their public talks. Richard Tarnas and A.H. Almaas spring to mind. But for desperate searchers like me, patience is one of the more practical tools on the path. Impatience, therefore, becomes a significator of those not quite hungry enough. I appreciate your perspectives, many of which will be of service to my own practice and teaching. Blessings.

Thank you for creating this video series! I've been waiting to take a course like this since, well, forever! Brilliant!!

So grateful for this work. For all of those whining about the delivery and general pace, there is a small icon for settings where one can choose the desired velocity.

Already, I'm hooked on this guy & his intense & deep love for the subject he teaches

Excellent; very enjoyable! Thanks for posting this. I'll be checking out your other videos.

i’ve always wanted to learn about astrology - i was taking notes and your pauses were so helpful. i just love this video. thank you.

Hello Richard Thank you for a great class, I love your teaching and couldn't have found better! The slides are so helpful. I look so forward to part 2.

Richard Fidler really gets his hands around the concept, he really has a firm grasp on things. He pulls you along so naturally, his insight is like a thick shaft of light in overwhelming uncertainty. Thank you Richard Fidler

Thank you for publicly sharing your astrological knowledge with us. Even though I know these basics it was a wonderful revision. I love the slow talking pace and pauses. It keeps me with you, and allows the concepts to soak gently into my mind. I eagerly look forward to your next session. 🌿🌺🌿

Great presentation! The most thorough delivery I've heard. I'll use it as a study source. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

Great information an pleasant voice to listen to, thanks!

Thank you for this wonderful series of videos, Richard! I find them superbly helpful, and very clear to comprehend.

RICHARD FIDLER MY MAN UR A BLESSING THANK U

Last year around this time I came across this video after gaining an interest in astrology. I have now been studying it by myself for a year and Am now 18 years old. I have acquired a branch of magic thank you to this video. It helped me dive right in with only a very short background knowledge on the subject. And boy do I remember this guys lecture replaying in my head this past year. One of the greatest things about this video is that it goes into a little bit of the spiritual side of astrology even though as he mentioned it might not be considered correct to some. It's a very interesting way to see it. this was a spot on the video! Thank you!

This was very informative, I appreciate your pace and pauses. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge 🙏

Thank you so much for this informative video. It really helped seal alot of what I had already gone over and made it more understandable. I look forward to video 2 if I can find it :)

Richard, thank you for clarifying so many things for me, being a fledgling student of astrology. It makes me want to keep going. What a fascinating language

Thankyou RIchard ....your video is really the best I've seen so far for grasping the fundamentals! Bless!

Richard, Thank you for the course. I thought it was brilliant. If it's all right, I would like to add this to your experience with Neptune. In my opinion one of the reasons Neptune is difficult to understand is because Neptune is more like a spiritual radio built by the universe to tune in and pick up signals from the universe. That's allot of stations. Being plugged in everywhere may feel like chaos. When we tune into this radio it heightens our awareness, increases our creativity and protects us from taking fatal turns. Neptune also gives us spectral vision, the key to open the third eye, helps us interpret and control dreams, decode spiritual messages and control astral experiences. Remote viewing is dependent on Neptune. If we don't study Neptune by way of the gifts given from the universe. AND since we can't turn Neptune off, the lines of reality may cause confusion, chaos, blurry vision and hallucinations without the use of lysergic acid diethylamide, Richard, I'm a Pisces with a Pisces Ascendant, Moon in Virgo and Mercury in Aquarius. I hope this made some sense..

Major points for me: Min 22-25 vibration frequencies analogy, Min 28 chakras, Min1:03 Home life and maturity, . Thanks for the explaining the basics..... very slowly.

I can't believe I finished this whole video in one night. Very informative and easy to follow, I look forward to learning more!

Well presented grounding in what makes up the astrological chart. Thank You. Great reference point to refresh understanding of astrology. What I really like was your desire to *explain* it how you perceive it rather than *tell* it. You slowed down the pace to let important points sink in. Thought it was excellent. Will now move on to part two and have subscribed to your channel.

just one juicy tidbit I had never heard before: "the outer planets represent the backdrop of the generation you were born into" I love this phrasing--definitely vibing with Richard's communication style!

Thank you so much for making me fall asleep last night while listening to this! I've been having insomnia for a long time. but damn! Your calmness is magic!

Thank you for this. I also appreciate how at times you slow and pause which allowed me to think and ponder and try and reason to what you were saying.

Thank you so much. so clear, slowly speaking so a person can take it in. I appreciate you. Vanda

Hi Richard, Thank you I am sitting listening and it's getting better. So grateful . Gratitude Vanda

I love it Richard. Doubly proud to hear a South African accent 😊🇿🇦

I love your videos on astrology you are the best at breaking it down in digestible parts Brilliant!

Also I love that you speak slowly since I'm a person that really analyses how words go together when learning and it gives me time to absorb what you say.

I've just got into astrology this is very informative thank you for making this video. I have learned so much

I appreciate your humble Brilliance, a beautiful and heartfelt gift

This is great. Thank you for all your work.

I was tryng to focus on learning more things about the occult and said to myself "focus" as i played the video again(i was about 1 hour in the video) You also said focus after i just told myself that,love the syncronicity so far also i have come to a better understanding of astrology thx to you,have a blessed day!

Great series! Very satisfying dissertation!

I loved the lecture. Please do more!

My grandad was an astrologer in south africa. Wish he was still around to teach. Thank you!

Richard ~ this is wonderful ! I was sourcing some Robert Hand, and found you on the page. I enjoy your friendly dimunition of the houses, in favor of the suggestive influence of aspects. Blissings to your work!

ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT VIDEO. THANK U

Very clear, super interesting. Thank you

Thank- you - wonderfully described.

more respect for this mother science that gave us psichology and astronomy...

Thank you. That was quite pedagogical I found. I liked this lesson.

My grabdad was a well known astrologer in South Africa. I am sure he would have appreciated your teachings. Thank you for doing this. Great info. 😊

Ohhhhh this is giving me galaxy brain, it’s all coming together,,, it made me emotional fr

Very informational and easy to follow, thank you!

*Well done! Simple yet very informative. Thank you. Namaste*

What a terrific lecture, invaluable, thank you!!

1:14:17 Schopenhaur talked about how the aesthetic experience of art, specifically music, is the closest we can get to enlightenment.

Great information, thank you for sharing!

Excellent. Thank you for posting.

perfect for me

Great stuff. Thank you.

Nice. Well done. Interesting stuff. And always looking for more. Thankyou. ;^))

I like this dude. He speaks like a real person. 💯

365 is not almost 360 days. Originally there were only 360 days in a year originally. The other 5 days are added by Egyptians to celebrate birthdays of the gods born on those days which today we had to create the round earth and these massive and complex motions as well as take away days from a month and invent leap year in order to explain 365 day calendar which did not need further explaining then the one given by the creators of it

Thank you very much for that useful information !

Richard, your lessons are amazing! Please keep them coming! Is it possible to book a private lesson or reading with you? How do I do that? I just discovered you on youtube a few days ago! You are wonderful!! Thank you!! 🙏🙏🙏😇

Excellent lectures!

Very clear and easy to understand. Thank you.

thank you so much for this! very informative and helpful

Great video! Thank you.

Thank you appreciate it understanding astrology is not easy.

Thank you, Richard.

Thank you so much for great lessons.

Thanks Richard :) Sharing with my students... Write a book soon!

Very informative! Thanks for the video! If the narrator is speaking too slow for you, click the gear icon in the lower right of the video and set the speed to 1.25

Thank you so much for teaching this 🌟

Great videos excellent teacher

I agree with you, Uranus feels more like Sag or Gemini, a mutable sign that is agressive and into renewal, unpredictable. Aquarius is a fixed sign

Thanks Richard!

great presentation on all levels - good insight you have - i am an astrologer also and i know santo's work - although my work is different to his.

Thank you for your course. I find the comments interesting and funny. - people learn differently and lots of impatience out there; so many opposing thoughts on the pace of your speaking. I found your breakdown of concepts refreshing and foundational. I found your breadth of knowledge quite impressive and your ability to communicate complex subjects quite good. I was shocked when a person would say you weren't able to explain the subject matter - but I think really it's their ability to process the information. But that's the fun of KZfaq so many people sharing. I'd much rather wait a minute for my teacher to "connect the dots" or bridge threads of information together than to rush on talking or repeating the same ideas over and over. I think for me the value of astrology comes with being sensitive to the cycles and patterns of life and to see how to energetically "ride the waves." I also find great value in the Tarot and the concepts of archetypes - as above so below, each cell is a universe in itself - math and string theory, quantum physics to me all follow the same paths to an unfolding of the mystery of life. I don't rush to the Internet to read my daily horoscope but there is something about contemplating these systems of thought that I find valuable and relevant to my own life. I'll be listening to your other videos I hope you produce more this year. Thank you!

A dark inner world is hidden away from the eyes of others.

Sag moon you explained the moon so great. Now I get why I m the way I am!

Man... this is great 🙏🏾

Please please answer me I wanna used to predict weather or anything we wanted ! Can i !! It’s possible!!!

Thanks so much. I learned a lot. Love the SA accent :)
