Featuring Events in Faywood Hot Springs and Maui

by Daniel Giamario

Faywood Hot Springs
From the late 1990’s through 2006, the Shamanic Astrology Mystery School held numerous successful and well-attended intensives at Faywood Hot Springs in Southern New Mexico, between Deming and Silver City. Before his untimely death from pancreatic cancer, Faywood’s owner and visionary, Elon Yurwit, had co-created with me a magnificent standing stone circle, and an audacious dream of a land based school.

Of Sabbaticals, Eclipses and the Sacred Marriage

The death of my Father in February, 2010 opened the door for a long Sabbatical, a sometimes labyrinth and often maze-like initiatory window. It is only now during this amazing heiros gamos conjunctio of Venus and Mars in Libra that enough clues have emerged for me to tell the story.

A Most Unique Eclipse Season

01-eclipse-461sp073108There are generally two eclipse seasons each year, about six months apart. These always contain at least two eclipses, Solar and Lunar, and occasionally three, as I discussed in the July, 2009 Eclipse article .

2012 Movie Review

by Daniel Giamario

I recently went to see the film “2012,” as I was curious about how they would treat the subject. Additionally, it’s part of my job description to know what is out there in the mainstream about this topic. First and foremost, it is a disaster movie to end all disaster movies. A big budget affair with enormously impressive special effects, and a big name cast, including John Cusack, an actor I generally like. Read More

OBAMA, HEALTH CARE, AND THE FATE OF MATURE IDEALISM

by Daniel Giamario2008 head shots daniel 122

Last year on Election Day was the first of five exact Saturn Uranus oppositions:  November 4, 2008, February 5, 2009, September 15, 2009, April 26, 2010, and July 26, 2010.  I have mentioned in past articles this can be seen as an ascending octave of the previous Saturn Uranus oppositions of 1964-1966.  I see this culturally as the encounter between mature idealism and universal values with hierarchical, patriarchal dominator control programs, sometimes known as the “culture wars”.

I envision these grand planetary dances through a dialectic model.  The November 4, 2008 and February 5, 2009 conjunctions are the thesis, the introduction and accent on hope and idealism represented by the election of the Aquarius-rising Obama and the vast outpouring of hope and good will throughout the world that happened at that time.  The September 15, 2009 conjunction as at the center point of the antithesis, representing the rising tide of big money, big pharma, the insurance conglomerate, the defense (war) establishment, and fear-based conservatives launching a counter attack on mature idealism and universal global values.
