The great turning of the ages, with astrologer Daniel Giamario
Saturday, 1 November, 2025
Daniel Giamario is the founder of the Turning of the Ages Mystery School, an astrology school dedicated to helping people navigate this time of the great turning through direct experience and participation with the earth and sky. As you may remember from my recent posts, I spent a week in September studying the night sky with TOTAMS at a desert hot springs in southern New Mexico, where Daniel had designed and co-built a stone circle on the hill. We talked about why that connection with the sky was so potent, and receiving direct transmissions from the sky and earth itself.In our conversation, Daniel explained how the night sky tells us where we are in the 26,000 year cycle of the ages, and touched on many other topics, including:* Your chart shows your purpose and intent in this lifetime, rather than a description of how you are;* One of the shadows of Aquarius is a materialism of consciousness, as evidenced by AI and other technological efforts;* TOTAMS teaches us to use technology after first apprenticing to nature;* Use the three worlds approach to view life through the lenses of the celestial realm, middle world and underworld to understand what’s going on and how to navigate;* We are in a period of greatest density right now, and we must use our spiritual will to perceive what’s really going on and respond.Find out more about Daniel and TOTAMS on their website, https://turningoftheages.com/Join Daniel and TOTAMS at one of their upcoming events, in person and onlineIn addition to two levels of membership in TOTAMS, the school has a number of individual offerings coming up, both online and in person:This coming Monday, November 3rd, join a free call with the water element branch of the school .In December, the school offers two days of online teachings and ceremony for the Solstice.In August of 2026, travel to Spain to experience the solar eclipse and learn about sacred relationship with Daniel and members of the school: https://turningoftheages.com/event/spain/Find all their events on the calendar: https://turningoftheages.com/events/Join Kristine for an online 2026 forecast and/or an in-person Solstice retreat Gain insight into the astrological shifts of 2026 next Saturday, November 8th, free for paid subscribers or $22 for the workshop only.
