From the perspective of Shamanic Astrology, this workshop will explore the Natal Moon and its relationship with the Lunar Nodes. The Moon, by sign, reveals lineage, a combination of ancestral DNA and tribal/clan affiliations, combined with mythic past-life motifs. This can reveal remarkable clues as to the habits, addictions, attitudes, and expectations that can rule our lives. A comprehensive skill-set from our past is also explored. When combined with the house positions of the Lunar Nodes, much can be known regarding what place on the “wheel of life” we have come from.
The approach of Shamanic Astrology is non-judgmental and can help create a framework of compassion that honors and values all possible places on the wheel of life.
144 storylines of Lineage and 144 storylines of current life intent will be explored. Cross-cultural, global, and historical themes will help elucidate the Journey of the Soul. Prepare for a radical reinterpretation of much of what you have known of the astrological Moon and the Lunar Nodes!
Daniel Giamario is the Director of the Shamanic Astrology Mystery School and creator of the Shamanic Astrology paradigm. He joins together an academic background in Comparative Philosophy and Religion, with teaching meditation in two worldwide organizations, and extensive world travel. Daniel learned astrology in the late 1960’s and was part of Dane Rudhyar’s humanistic astrological movement in the 1970s. After a vision quest experience on Mount Shasta in 1981, his astrological vision and spiritual path became more earth centered and a shamanically oriented astrology was born. For many years, his specialty has been connecting astrology to the night sky at secluded locations and sacred sites to directly experience “As Above So Below”. He has been a full-time astrological consultant since 1984.
Shamanic Astrology has evolved as a rich blend of psychological, mythological, spiritual, and shamanistic elements, specifically designed to assist in the unfoldment of the individual’s life purpose and in navigating this pivotal point of the Turning of the Ages. In the early 1990s Daniel Giamario, with the help of Cayelin Castell, began the Shamanic Astrology Mystery School, a land based, nomadic, and virtual curriculum for training counseling and therapeutic professionals in the use of the most important astrological tools and techniques. By the end of 2006, 36 persons had graduated as certified Shamanic Astrologers.
Daniel’s first book, The Shamanic Astrology Handbook, is available and a variety of other Shamanic Astrology books are in development. He has written numerous articles for Mountain Astrologer magazine and other publications. Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, Daniel traveled extensively, teaching workshops all over the country in over thirty locations. He currently is traveling less, except for regularly scheduled events in the Shamanic Astrology Mystery School curriculum.
Daniel lives in Tucson, Arizona and is available for personal and phone consultations, lectures and workshops. Daniel Giamario is a lively and stimulating radio and television guest and has hosted his own radio show on the Seventh Wave Network.
