Inspired by The Virgo New Moon - What Does “in Virgo” Mean Anyway? Ramblings, Reflections and Ruminations of Daniel Giamario |
|
With the New Moon on Monday, September 2, 8:56pm PDT, at 11Virgo04, let’s explore just what it means to say “in Virgo.” 11Virgo04 is almost exactly the star Zosma in the Lion Constellation, on the rump or lower back. Yet, tropical astrology measures this as 11Virgo. When the first young crescent moon is seen, which is how the ancients ceremonialized a New Moon, the tail star of the Lion, Denebola (21Virgo39), will be in alignment. So what is going on here? The answer is at the very foundation of the TOTAMS astrological paradigm (aka Shamanic Astrology Paradigm ™) and the revolutionary vision of our school: Signs and constellations are entirely different frames of reference, and yet intimately related, especially at a great Turning of The Ages. |
|
One of the primary purposes of the Turning of The Ages Mystery School is to be a harbinger of the great changes taking place during the times we find ourselves in. That includes how the essence of the 12 Mystery Schools of Life (the 12 Signs) are undergoing changes due to new transmissions from the constellations at a Turning of The Ages. It is, admittedly, not an easy topic, but worthy of gaining a thorough understanding of. |

September Equinox Seminars Two Offerings for The Inquisitive Soul |
|
Day One, September 21, 5:00-6:30pm PDT Signs and Constellations are not the same. Over the span of 26,000 years, through
precession, every constellation can and does contribute to every sign. This results in
changes to the essence of the signs depending on each astrological age. For example, today’s Aries is not the same as it was 2000 years ago. These evolutions are most evident at a Great Turning of The Ages.
This seminar explores the way the essences of signs have changed and are
changing. An understanding of these interactions is a foundational element of
the Turning of The Ages Mystery School. |
|
Day Two, September 22, 5:00-6:30pm PDT The dynamics of the 2024 elections are ever-changing and will continue to do so. Daniel and the TOTAMS team will look at the charts of the presidential and vice presidential candidates at the time of the September Equinox. We also will explore the charts of three of the powers behind the election circus, namely Larry Fink, Peter Thiel and Eric Schmidt. The larger context of the US Pluto and Chiron returns will be included as well. |
|
Customarily, our Equinox and Solstice Seminars are open to all and replays are being made available shortly after the live sessions. |

TOTAMS 2025 All School Gathering April 20-25, Oracle, Arizona |
|
We are delighted to announce the TOTAMS 2025 All School Gathering April 20-25 2025, Oracle, Arizona, hosted by Daniel Giamario and the TOTAMS Team |
|
As in 2023, we will gather at El Rancho Robles in Oracle, Arizona (near Tucson). The tradition of our school is to come together for a yearly in-person event that gives an opportunity for the school’s community to be in circle, heart-to-heart, soul-to-soul. Unlike in-person certification level courses, these annual gatherings offer an opportunity for other TOTAMS practitioners and special guests to present their latest research and areas of interest. A wide variety of topics related to astrology, cosmology, archeoastronomy, history, psychology, spirituality and ceremony will fill the air in a salon-like environment. Live music has also always been a part of these events! Being the week before the New Moon, we will have dark skies, perfect for night sky stories and teachings. The event will be limited to 22 participants plus facilitators and staff. Full registration details available soon. If you are interested in immediately reserving your place, |

Cosmology and Night Sky Intensive Sept 21-28 2025, Faywood Hot Springs, New Mexico |
|
And another rare in-person event next year: Cosmology and Night Sky Intensive In-Person Certification Level Event (Course 04) Sept 21-28 2025, Faywood Hot Springs / New Mexico, facilitated by Daniel Giamario and Gemini Brett |
|
Faywood Hot Springs is the perfect location for a cosmology / night sky intensive. In the early 2000s, Daniel designed and had built a large stone circle on a hilltop with a magnificent 360-degree horizon view. See his article here! We will be gathering at the time of the New Moon, perfect to witness Equinox Sunrise and Sunset. As we are still in peak Lunar Standstill season, a special and long-anticipated activity later in the week will be placing the final four stones in the circle that mark the Lunar Standstill stations. Daniel has been a hot springs lover his whole life and considers Faywood to be the finest hot springs in America. Clothing optional, clothing required, and private pools are all available and included in the stay. TOTAMS has the great pleasure of Gemini Brett co-facilitating this intensive with Daniel. A night sky wizard and great starry-teller, he and Daniel recently created the updated version of Course 04 in the TOTAMS Full Certification Program. Click here for details. Although this intensive can be applied towards Full Certification, anyone who loves the night sky, cosmology, our community, stone circles and hot springs is welcome to join. This will be the longest night sky / cosmology intensive the school has ever presented. This event includes options of cabins, camping, and RV space. The group size will be limited to 22 participants plus facilitators and staff. There is an abundance of RV and camping space but only 8 cabins. Registration details and pricing available soon. Accommodation bookings have to be made in advance directly with Faywood Hot Springs Resort. However, there is a liberal cancellation policy. Consider joining us, and book your spot soon! |

Focus on Pluto and Uranus Group Mentoring with Daniel Giamario |
|
Uranus stations retrograde on September 1 at 27Taurus15. On the same day, Pluto re-enters Capricorn for the last time in 248 years! Pluto stations direct on October 11 at 29Capricorn38 and soon after will re-enter Aquarius on November 19. It is high time to again look into the initiatory processes of these powerful agents of the Upper and Lower Worlds. Transits, natal complexes involving either or both planets can be considered, as well as their initiations along the Timeline of your life. The unique relationship between Uranus and Pluto will surely be a prime topic. |

Group Mentoring is open to all and particularly useful to students of TOTAMS Astrology wishing to keep up to date with the latest developments in the paradigm. General Public: $20 only Basic Members CLICK HERE to purchase for 50% off! |
