“Astrology is assured of recognition from psychology, without further restrictions, because astrology represents the summation of all the psychological knowledge of antiquity.” — C.G. Jung
Shamanic Astrology offers a way to explore one’s astrological birth chart through guided meditation. This process engages the living imagination, bringing into consciousness a direct relationship with the astrological archetypes present in one’s personal chart.
While a traditional astrological reading provides information interpreted by the astrologer, the Shamanic Astrology journey invites you to discover your own archetypal energies within the horoscope. Perhaps, as a Taurus, you know your sign is connected to the earth—but how remarkable to meet your unique Gardener archetype in the imagination.
Through an imaginative, guided journey, participants encounter planetary archetypes as living presences. This process fosters a personal connection with each planetary energy, deepening understanding of one’s astrological placements.
Jung and his daughter both studied astrology, recognizing its relevance to self-knowledge and the process of individuation. As Jung stated, “Astrology and other methods of divination may certainly be called the science of antiquity.”
This workshop will begin with an introduction to the astrological meaning of the planets (Sun, Moon, Rising, Mercury, Venus, Mars). This will be followed by a guided meditative journey to meet the inner figures connected with that planet and to experience the healing energies they offer within your horoscope. Time for sharing, questions, and discussion will complete the session. Here, the word “Shamanic” is used to describe the universal practice of entering altered states of consciousness to meet guiding presences and receive direct revelation. As Sandra Ingerman has noted, “Shamanism is a universal path that was practiced by people all over the world.” This usage honors the breadth of those traditions without appropriating any one culture.
