ICAE Survey for Astrology Students

August 13, 2026

The ICAE is collecting input from astrology educators and students to help improve educational opportunities for all astrologers. An important part of our work is developing a shared understanding of competency levels. Competency implies an observable, demonstrable performance. It answers the question: What can this practitioner of astrology do? Within a professional framework, demonstrating competency is not merely a “nice-to-have” attribute; it is evidence of success in our educational and practice goals. ICAE’s goal is to create a clearinghouse for shared astrological competencies developed by astrology practitioners from all branches of astrology.
