LUNAR SELF
This is a special series of classes on the astrological moon, through which we will deeply explore the mechanism of the moon in the birth chart. We will look at how the 12 signs, house placement and planetary aspects influence the unique chord of the moon, through an exploration of the following themes:
Primal Refuge : The nest - our emotional landscape and patterns of dependency.
Light and Shadow: The twelve moon signs and the six axes, identification and projection.
The mother and the feminine: How we open and how we close, how we nourish and how we love.
Lunar compositions: Discover the depths of the lunar chord.
This is an opportunity for anyone who wants to get a better understanding of their moon and how it forms one of the most important components to your birth chart. How we can bring consciousness to our emotional patterns and dependencies, and work with the energy of the moon to extract its true talent in service to the fullness of our chart.
We also highly recommend this course for anyone who are wanting to explore their parent-child relationship.
Lunar self consist of 7 classes of 2 hour duration.
CREATIVE ASTROLOGY TRAINING / APRIL 2026 - MARCH 2027
This year-long training has been crafted for anyone interested in exploring the ancient language of astrology as an alchemical tool for personal and collective transformation. Grounded in humanistic astrology and integrating theory with practice, the course offers a solid foundation in this symbolic language while showing how it can be applied in everyday life.
The training takes place within an intimate group, allowing for a personalised learning process through the use of participants’ charts as examples throughout the year. This distinctive aspect of the course deepens the exploration of each personal chart while nurturing a close and supportive learning community.
Your teachers, Eva VIkstrom and Alejandro Tarraf, are artists and astrologers who have been practising astrology for over 15 years.

THE GATEWAY OF BECOMING / THE ASTROLOGICAL ASCENDANT
The course looks at the mandalic system of astrology, and the different elements that make up the astrological mandala. We will journey through each astrological ascendant in great depth and look at the significance of the planetary protagonist of the chart, and how the ascendant relates to the rest of the house system. How the essence of destiny is not something prewritten but a way to meet what is in our shadow and often projected, in order to open ourselves to what life proposes to unfold in us - A journey towards fullness.
This course is for anyone who is just embarking on their astrological journey, or for those who would like to deepen their studies. For anyone who would like to get a better understanding of their own birth chart, as well as of others close to you.
The Gateway of Becoming consist of 7 classes of 2 hour duration.

TESTIMONIALS FROM PREVIOUS COURSE PARTICIPANTS
"This is an exciting course with a beautiful balance of intuitive learning and theoretical knowledge. As a foundation it doesn’t just cover the practical aspects of learning and knowledge but it is an experiential journey. It is a swim in a vast ocean, liberating and immersive. Additionally, the classes are a collective journey and I found that my learning was stimulated hugely through others' shared reflections and the support of everyone who took part. This was a really amazing and wonderful course, thank you Eva and Ale."
"I am deeply grateful to have been able to participate in the level 1 astrology course, which has taken me on a profoundly healing journey over the recent months, bringing whole new dimensions into my experience of life, of myself and others.
Eva & Ale are truly gifted teachers, combining decades of study, creative practice and life experience to guide students on an immersive journey, making complex material accessible and helping you integrate this knowledge into intuitive wisdom and start applying it practically in your everyday life. They live and breathe astrology and this passion for their subject and for helping others learn and grow is very tangible throughout their teaching. This exceptional course has helped me to understand myself in a much deeper way, with much more compassion, self acceptance and love, which I then feel rippling out when relating to others. I have gained a deeper understanding of the challenges I experience and how to work with these in a transformative way, as well as a greater awareness of my unique gifts and how to bring these forth in the world. I sense astrology will be my life-long companion in helping me grow into my wholeness and embody my full potential and for this huge gift I am immensely grateful! I can’t wait to continue with Level 2! And beyond!!!"
"I feel deeply blessed for having crossed paths with both Eva and Ale as their generous guidance has revealed a wealth of knowledge that is available to anyone who is open to explore it. Humanistic Astrology and the Tarot are transforming me in many ways, but I specially appreciate how it has changed the dynamic in which I engage with the world. In these transformative times we are living, what I've learned with Blue Hand feels like the right next step as it has given me the tools to change my perspective and allow for more kindness and compassion to others and to myself. In order to be able to open yourself for the possibilities these tools allow, it is necessary to explore them in a safe, loving environment and Eva and Ale are so great at holding that space for their students. Their classes are filled with love, generosity and enthusiasm and their knowledge permeates every aspect of the course. They are thoughtful and give their creative, practical guidance unrestrictedly which makes it possible to access what may sometimes feel like very dense and hard to process information. If you are called to explore these realms you couldn't find better teachers. I am forever thankful.
"I am grateful I came across Eva and Ale. I have been participating in the astrology and tarot courses and I can't stress enough the positive impact those sessions had on me. Astrology is a powerful instrument to better understand yourself and your behaviors and it has even greater benefits to appreciate the people around you, for the way they are. Both Astrology and Tarot are fascinating, yet complex, but Eva and Ale's way of running the sessions makes it accessible to everyone. Their sessions are a perfect mix between theory and practices. The advice and tips they are giving are to be implemented in your daily life. I love their creative way to make us practice, thinking about a planet position, a spread, ..! All activities are always tailor-made to you and to the group. I could not recommend them enough."
