Shamanic Astrology Mystery School

Our zeitgeist whispers that the planet is alive;
that spirituality is based far more in the body and the earth than we’ve conceived in centuries;
and that to sustain ourselves,
we must live more simply, more cooperatively,
and bend our energy technologies to tap directly Sun’s power.

The planet Mercury symbolizes the alchemical magic of the mind, how we process information, how we perceive our reality and how we communicate. It is also noted for its quickness and speed as it completes one orbit around the Sun in 88 days. Thus, Mercury’s speed is also linked to the quickness of the mind.

Shamanic Astrology occupies a niche within the larger context of the astrological world.

the hero’s journey, the philosopher’s stone,
or the finding of the long lost kingdom.

The equinoxes are the seasonal time of balance and harmony when the days and nights are equal in length. During the equinoxes, the Earth’s auric or magnetic field is affected by the Sun’s alignment with the Earth’s equator. Twice each year, at the equinoxes, the Sun rises and sets exactly over the equator remaining closely aligned there for approximately 48 hours. The equinox solar affect produces a reduction in the magnetic field of the Earth, allowing us to connect more easily with other dimensions. This article has a general description of the equinox energy and a section on the individual equinoxes. More…
