“The 12 Gateways Programme far and away exceeded my expectations and has been so helpful in my personal development, spiritual growth and astrological knowledge. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an astrological mentor who not only lives what he teaches but also has an engaging way of communicating with others. You will be amazed and surprised month after month! Thanks, John! (Kate Felzien, 23 Jan 2026)
The Twelve Gateways to Wholeness
1-2-1 Coaching Programme: 2026-27
20th March 2026 - 19th March 2027
This 12-month coaching programme is a powerful process of self-enquiry based around the 12 gateways of the Zodiac, as described in my book, Your Zodiac Soul, published in 2018. The monthly 1-2-1 sessions are uniquely tailored to each person’s individual intention and the signatures of their own natal chart. This opportunity is available this year to a small number of clients, students and people who follow my work (maximum 10 people for 2026-27 course).
These sessions can be conducted online or in person in Glastonbury (when and where that is convenient in terms of location). The 1-2-1 meetings take place during the third week of each month, soon after the Sun changes sign, within the first ten days or so of each astrological month. These sessions are booked individually by each participant through an online booking calendar. The programme also includes a monthly group meeting on Zoom toward the end of each astrological month, where students can support each other and reflect on their process together.
I am currently still working with the 2025-26 cohort of students, 12 in total, on the programme which began in March 2025, and they will complete their journey on 19th March 2026. Below you will find testimonials from some of this year’s participants. These students will be invited to join the monthly group sessions in 2026-27, as we build up a community through this work.

Testimonials from 2025-26 Participants
“Embarking on this programme with John has been a profound and deeply illuminating process. The one to one sessions and the group check ins have enabled me to share my insights and challenges in such a supportive and loving environment, so validating and felt very held. It has felt like layers of unconscious conditioning dissolve as I dig deep into each sign. I hadn’t realised what blocked me, kept me fixed in unhelpful patterns and how joyful, expansive and liberating the full potential that each sign offers. I would unreservedly recommend this programme.”
— Anne Schilizzi (19 Jan 2026)“When I first signed up for the 12 gateways programme my intention was to learn the zodiac signs on a deeper experiential level. Now as I approach the conclusion, I am starting to realise that it has been so much more! Not only have I delved deeper into the zodiac signs, I have also been given the gift of the medicine that each sign holds. And this, by the way, is cumulative as each sign builds on the previous one. Overall, this programme has been both supportive and transformational. What I have learned along the way could not have been achieved without John’s expert guidance and wisdom. If you feel the call to work with John and explore the 12 gateways, I would encourage you to just go for it. You won’t regret it!”
— Diccon Wilks (15 Jan 2026)“Coaching with John through the 12 Gateways Course has been nothing short of transformational for me. I have reconnected with parts of myself that I wasn’t aware were there. Not only has this connected me to my ancestral story, but it has, in turn, given me a sense of direction. I feel I am closer to my purpose. I have felt challenged by the process, always held by John’s warmth, sensitivity and intrinsic understanding of the soul’s journey. I cannot recommend this course highly enough for anybody willing to dive deep into themselves through an astrological lens.”
— Natalie Ellis (15 Jan 2026)“I am deeply grateful to John for creating this zodiacal soul journey. He has a rare ability to translate planets and signs into living archetypes; making them easier to understand and relate to. Ultimately, this has allowed for a much deeper psychological exploration while still feeling safe and contained. This work has helped me understand myself with greater clarity and compassion. I wholeheartedly recommend this process to anyone who wishes to know thyself more deeply, and couldn't imagine a better guide than John to take you on it.”
— Heather Barnes (15 Jan 2026)
Meet the teacher
Hello. My name is John Wadsworth. I am the founder of the Kairos School of Astrology, and its primary teacher. My approach is borne out of 34 years of professional practice, and is primarily a psychological appraoch, alongside elements of traditional and evolutionary astrology. I am known in the field for my experiential, embodied approach to astrological education, with an emphasis on healing and transformation. I’m also a great champion of ethical standards in astrological practice, and build this into the courses I teach, and the way I work with individuals. I am the author of ‘Your Zodiac Soul’, in which I present the zodiac as a twelve-stage journey of initiation, gateways to wholeness. This is the basis of my 12-month coaching programme,: “The Twelve Gateways to Wholeness”.

FAQs
-
Participants report a range of life-enhancing benefits from having followed the course, including clarifying their purpose or vocation in life, healing relationship patterns, a radically enhanced sense of meaning.
It’s a process and it can be really challenging to investigate your own patterns and take responsibility for them, but it is deeply liberating when we do this. I have been incredibly moved this year by the depth to which participants have journeyed in their enquiries and the level of authenticity and commitment they have shown to the process.
One thing that I have noticed continually, is that participants are connecting more with the cycles of nature, the cycles of their body’s rhythms, and connecting more with their spiritual life.

Thje 1-2-1 sessions will typically be booked in during the first or second week after the Sun changes sign. So typically between 21st of the month to the 4th or 5th of the following month. You will have a range of appointment slots to choose from each month, which you will be responsible for booking yourself through a private booking calendar.
-
The group sessions will be held during last few days of each astrological month - typically between 18th- 22nd of each month. These will not always be on the same day of the week, but they will always be held on a week-day (not weekend) at 6pm UK time.
-
Yes, by enrolling on the course, you are committing for the full duration of the course, which means being available every month for your 1-2-1 session and attending at least 8 of of the 12 monthly zoom sessions. These are all recorded, so if you miss one of these, you can watch it later.
-
Yes, the course fee is non-refundable and non-transferable once the course has started, except in extreme circumstances, where your withdrawal from the course is unavoidable, such as severe illness.
-
Yes. The monthly instalment option is there to help ease the initial financial outlay, but the course fee is non-refundable whether you pay up front or in instalments, so once the course has started you are liable for the full amount.
-
Yes all the 1-2-1 sessions are recorded, unless you request otherwise - these must be downloaded to your computer from the Zoom cloud link that you are sent within one month of the session. All the group zoom sessions are recorded also.
-
No. Knowledge of how to read a birth chart is not expected or required, although having some interest in astrology would be anticipated!
-
Yes we will be working with the birth chart in each session. These are not chart consultation sessions though, so we will be focussing on the astrological signatures relevant to the enquiry into the sign we are working with that month, and the planet and house associated with it.
-
This will not prevent you from following the course. We will do our best to rectify the birth time, though, during the year, if you don’t know it.
