This article features insights on the Goddess, the seasonal energies as Goddesses, the phases of life, the power of 8 and 12, and the nine Morgens.
May 2019 found me in Barcelona joining my friend, Sarah, a kindred seeker who moved abroad to enjoy a simpler life. Our destination was the Portuguese International Conference of the Divine Feminine. After a brief stay in Spain we traveled to Lisbon with much help from Cristina Moreira, a SAMS’ associate in Portugal who extended a warm welcome and helped make every step of the trip perfect. (Much gratitude for all her help.)

The Underpinnings of the Practice of Shamanic Astrology
~ By Beau Taylor
Lately I’ve been going ‘back to basics’, turning my attention to the writings of some of the early pioneers in humanistic astrology in order to more deeply inform my personal astrological foundation.
As a clinical therapist, my roots are in both depth psychology and systems theory. I view human beings and the context within which we live as an interconnected, interpenetrating system of wholes. Nothing is separate.
The survival and optimal functioning of one organism is dependent upon and interrelated with the experience and outcome all other organisms in our known universe. As one human being, I contribute to this cosmic dance: I have an impact but I can never ‘stand apart’ from the dance to be fully objective about it, nor can I responsibly claim to be an expert source of knowledge about how it works or how it will unfold. I am part of it: a whole within the Whole. Read More

I started studying Astrology in the late 80s after meeting Daniel Giamario and receiving my first reading from him. At that time, he was living in Maui and was teaching one day classes on different aspects of this paradigm. I loved those classes! His way of perceiving and communicating Astrology was so digestible and usable to even those that hardly knew anything about it. I became a groupie.
Fast forward 30 years to present day and I am still studying Astrology with Daniel and now Cayelin Castell and other Shamanic Astrologers. Even though Shamanic Astrology (SA) is the most understandable and down to Earth form of Astrology I’ve ever studied, there is no lack of depth in it. I have found it is multilayered and as rich as the sky itself.
One of the foundational principles of SA is the opening lines to the Emerald Tablets “As Above So Below, As Within So Without”. This axiom is a reflection of the patterns of the constellations and the cycles of our Solar System and how it affects us transitory mortals spinning around on our beloved blue marble, Earth.
When I first heard Daniel and Cayelin use this statement, I understood the basics of it and thought it was quite clever to relate it to the stars but I really had no idea how deep this goes! Read More
