On the night of the summer solstice June 20, 1997, I again had the pleasure and great privilege of witnessing the Full Moon rise over the magical, sacred landscape of the Callanish Complex on the Scottish Hebridean Isle of Lewis. Along with Haleakala crater of Maui, Mt. Shasta’s upper valleys, and a certain area of Joshua Tree’s Wonderland of Rocks, Callanish has been my most powerful personal place of spiritual initiation.

It is noteworthy that within the last 100 years, only twice before was Mars in Sagittarius at opposition: June 10th,1922 at 19Sag and May 31,1969 at 10Sag. That information may inspire imaginative research. An important element of shamanic astrological work involves ceremony, which usually means simply creating sacred space to honor, observe, and be present for the celestial alignments.
