About the Masterclass
Every sign of the zodiac is a unique combination of one element (fire, earth, air, water) and one mode (cardinal, fixed, mutable). The elements provide great insights into our particular type of energy, motivation and drive, while the modes reveal our approach, style and way of navigating conflict.
In this 4-hour masterclass, we’ll go on a deep dive into the elements and modes to discover some essential truths about the dominant signs in our birth chart. No prior knowledge of astrology is necessary. PDF handouts will be provided.

Learning Outcomes
In learning about the elements and modes, students will:
- Understand the fundamental principles of elements and modes and how they relate to life.
- Recognise the importance of elements and modes in the twelve signs of the zodiac.
- Learn to assess which are the motivating energies in their own individual make-up.
- Learn more about the foundational principles of astrology in order to progress confidently with further studies.
You’ll come away with a better understanding of yourself and your place in the world, a clearer perspective on global events, and the ability to make more informed life decisions.

Featured Faculty
Frank Clifford
An independent force in the astrological community for over 30 years, Frank Clifford has built an eclectic career as a consultant astrologer and palmist, and a writer, publisher and lecturer of both subjects.
Frank founded Flare Publications in 1996 and has since published more than two dozen books in the Mind, Body and Spirit field. He recently relaunched the landmark magazine, The Mountain Astrologer, as a multi-media publication online and in print.
In 2012, Frank became the youngest recipient of a lifetime honour for ‘exceptional service to astrology’, and a writing award and a nomination for enhancing astrology’s professional image followed. Over the years, he’s been a columnist, biographer and media astrologer (BBC, Oxford University Press, Hello!, Marie Claire, Universal Studios), while his work in modern hand analysis has resulted in two bestsellers with Random House and Hamlyn (published in a dozen languages) and led to The Guardian dubbing him ‘palm reader to the stars’.
Frank lectures internationally and has run the popular London School of Astrology for over 20 years. He teaches LSA students online and in London, Beijing and Tokyo. www.frankclifford.co.uk
