Shamanic Astrology, developed by Daniel Giamario, is an integrative form of astrology based primarily on archetypes. The elements of your birth chart form a narrative, showing us what you came into this world already knowing and what archetypes or mystery schools you are here to explore. Shamanic Astrology does not make any specific predictions, or regard any chart alignments as "good" or "bad"; rather, it helps us find what skills are present and what challenges are likely to arise (in life purpose, in our work in the world, in relationships) and what types of strategies are likely to work in dealing with those challenges.
In readings, we get to examine the following questions:
- Lineage – what does your birth chart tell us about your innate skills and competencies?
- Life purpose – what did your soul come here to explore?
- What type of masculinity or femininity are you here to express? Which God or Goddess archetype?
- What is your inner other – the type of person you may be drawn to, but is ultimately part of your own nature?
- Your wounded healer – what wounds show up in your chart? Through them, what medicine do you have to offer others?
- Relationship comparison – how does your chart line up with another's? What are the gifts and the challenges of that alignment, and how can you move together most skillfully?
- Right livelihood – what is the nature of your work in the world?
- Current cycles – what are the particular opportunities and challenges showing up for you this year, and how do you take advantage of them?
Shamanic Astrology is integrative in the sense that it brings together the best of modern western astrology with traditional interpretations from Egypt, Greece, and Babylon, as well as influences from Vedic, Chinese, Polynesian, and Native American astrological traditions. You can learn more at the Shamanic Astrology Mystery School. I've been studying Shamanic Astrology since 2006; I have a deep love of and fluency in the material.
