Group mentorship sessions provide support for the practical and ethical challenges that arise in client work, ensuring continued growth within a collaborative learning environment.
Each student also completes an independent research project on a specific pathology, presenting their findings as part of the two-part Diploma Examination—the final step toward professional recognition as an OSA Medical Astrologer.
Â
Final Certification & Examination
Upon completing the practicum, students undertake the OSA Medical Astrology Certification Examination, designed to demonstrate the full scope of their technical, interpretive, and research-based mastery.
The certification process consists of two parts:

- Research Presentation – Students present their independent research on a specific pathology, offering an overview of the condition, the body systems it affects, their initial astrological hypothesis, and the results of their study. A minimum of ten case studies is required.
Upon successful completion of both examinations, students are awarded the OSA Medical Astrology Diploma—a recognition of their professional readiness, research integrity, and mastery of concrete, event-based medical astrology.
