Episode 5. Shamanic Astrology & the Intent of the Soul's Journey with Daniel Giamario

Daniel Giamario is the founder and president of the Turning of the Ages Mystery School™ and creator of the Shamanic Astrology Paradigm™ — also known as The Giamario Approach™. He joins together an academic background in Comparative Philosophy and Religion, with teaching meditation in two worldwide organizations and extensive world travel.

Daniel learned astrology in the late 1960s and was part of Dane Rudhyar’s transpersonal astrology movement in the 1970s. After a vision quest experience on Mount Shasta in 1981, his astrological vision and spiritual path became more Earth-centered, and a shamanically-oriented astrology was born.

For many years, his specialty has been connecting astrology to the night sky at secluded locations and sacred sites in an “As Above, So Below” direct experience. He has been a full-time astrological consultant since 1984 and currently has a large mentoring practice and an apprenticeship program.

This astrology has evolved as a rich blend of psychological, mythological, spiritual, and shamanistic elements — specifically designed to assist in the unfoldment of the individual’s life purpose and in navigating this pivotal point of the Turning of the Ages.

He has written two books — The Shamanic Astrology Handbook and Origins of The Shamanic Astrology Paradigm — as well as The Shamanic Astrology Divination Card Deck.

Daniel lives with his wife, Lynne, in Southeast Asia. His passions are the growing of the Turning of the Ages Mystery School™’s body of knowledge, further evolution of The Giamario Approach™, and continued research to obtain answers to his life-long question — “Who are we and what has happened?”
