Cosmology and Night Sky Online Course
with Daniel Giamario and Cayelin Castell
Ancient Cultures Lived in Close Ceremonial Relationship with the Sky because they knew experientially that we inform the mysteries as much as they inform us.
It was a living relationship lost, in part due to the powerful elite who found a way to keep these mysteries from the people, in essence taking away their ability to live magically and co-creatively with great mystery.
The Night Sky Cosmology Course is a great way to regain these mysteries and what it means to have a living relationship with the sky and these mysteries once again as described in the raves about this course.
Of all the classes we have online, I most appreciate this one because my ‘live class’ notes were never complete and frequently didn’t really make sense once I was home. Now I feel so much more confident about this material. Thank you! Vi

I was so deeply affected by the recent Cosmology course. Now, every clear night I wander out, look up and connect with the great cosmos. I actually know what I’m looking at now! Being an astrologer, it is of key importance to connect with the stars physically. As Above, So Below. The live course is life changing and the online course is AMAZING! ~Dana Zia
Understanding the “bones” or “structure” of the sky is vital to understanding our place in the cosmos, personally and collectively. This largely forgotten understanding (until now) enriches our lives by illuminating our place within the greater context of our galaxy.
It all started to make sense once I took the Cosmology class! Learning about the Night Sky from Daniel and Cayelin started fitting all the puzzle pieces together. I’m new to Shamanic Astrology, and this class shifted my understanding in a profound way. It’s a must for anyone interested! ~Sheridan Semple https://aspenholistichealth.com/

A Shamanic Approach to the Night Sky
by Daniel Giamairo
A mytho-shamanistic approach to astrology involves the direct observation of the night sky, connecting with natural phenomena using the human senses. It is not based on an abstract, complicated computer-generated solution to a problem. In the night sky, there is one very clear and even dramatic phenomenon that cuts the circle of the zodiac – the Milky Way!
The plane of our galaxy cuts the zodiac/ecliptic belt at about a sixty-six degree angle in the region of the zodiacal constellations of the Archer and Scorpion (a.k.a Sagittarius and Scorpius). The Milky Way intersects the zodiac near the center of the galaxy in an extremely rich and thick field of stars.
Daniel Giamario and Cayelin K Castell have put together a fascinating and informative course that helps give the visceral experience of magical connection between the land, our bodies and the sky. ~Vivian Hurley

Is it the Turning of A Great Year or a Seasonal Shift?
from Daniel Giamario
At the very least, we know humanity is at a seasonal shift. If now isn’t the end and beginning of the Platonic year, then at the very least it is the “mirror image” of what happened 12,500-13,000 years ago, when the December solstice was at the galactic edge. This marked the time when the vernal (spring) equinox was entering the constellation of the Lion (represented by the Sphinx of Giza, facing due east as silent witness to those historical events). Today, the sphinx is witness to the spring equinox Sun rising into the constellation of the Waterbearer, or Aquarius.
In my travels to Peru, Bolivia, and Scotland, I have had impressive direct experiences of numerous ancient monuments built to capture the precise rising and/or setting of the December Solstice Sun. It is as if these monuments were built with this time in mind. For only now, (and the mirror image time 12,500-13,000 years ago) can the rising and setting Sun be experienced at the solstice, Milky Way, and zodiacal intersection.
I propose that all shamanically and experientially oriented individuals prepare for participating in conscious ceremony and festivals, especially during the winter solstices from 1962 to 2034 celebrating the end and beginning of a galactic year. The rising Sun at winter solstice is a marvelous opportunity to receive a transmission of galactic intelligence directly from galactic center, for dreaming and co-creating the next great age.
Why 1998 was so Significant
According to the calculations of Astronomer Jean Meuss, famous for calculating stellar occultations, the winter solstice coordinate exactly reached the intersection of the plane of the Milky Way with the zodiacal plane in May of 1998. This is the only time in the 26,000 year precessional cycle that the December Solstice (Winter Solstice in North America) is aligned with galactic center.
