Your natal chart is your “energetic imprint,” a set of instructions you brought with you at birth, which can help you get to know yourself better and live a more fulfilling life. With TOTAMS Astrology, you discover the archetypes that are expressed in your natal chart, allowing you to understand how you think, feel, and act. By knowing who you are at your core, who you are learning to become, and what your life purpose is, you can experience a richer life in all areas.

Through a TOTAMS Astrology reading, we explore your natal imprint, meaning how the planets and stars were aligned at the moment of your birth, helping you become aware of your abilities and biggest challenges, both in general and specifically in areas like romantic relationships, work, personal connections, and your relationship with yourself.

TOTAMS Astrology is fundamentally different from traditional astrology and offers a very distinct approach from what you might be used to (if you’re familiar with astrology). For starters, it’s not a sun sign astrology; in fact, the Sun in our paradigm doesn’t represent any archetype, it’s neither feminine nor masculine, it’s Great Mystery itself. The Moon, on the other hand, doesn’t represent your emotions or your mother figure, but your Lineage, your essence, the skill set, strength, habits, expectations and addictions you come into this life with. And the Ascendant is your current identity project and one of the most important parts of your chart, if not the most important!

This doesn’t mean one type of astrology is better than the other; they simply have different approaches, content, and understanding. Each person connects with the approach that resonates most with them.

Some of the core principles of Shamanic Astrology are:

1. We don’t incarnate in this life as a “blank slate”
2. Our life has meaning and purpose, which includes an “Original Intention or Purpose” that guides us toward our life’s destiny
3. A unique understanding of the natal Moon: it represents our Lineage, our essence, our DNA, and our past life history (if we believe in reincarnation)
4. The use of Lunar Nodes is essential: their position in the chart creates the “144 stories of the Lineage” (the house of the South Node with the Moon) and the “144 stories of the current life’s Intention” (the house of the North Node with the Ascendant)
5. The dynamic, evolutionary flow of the soul’s journey is described using the chart as if it were a symphony in “three movements” or three acts: the Lineage, the Tools and Equipment, and the Intention for this Life
6. A unique approach to using Venus and Mars, paying close attention to their synodic cycles, which is one of the most magical aspects of this paradigm
7. The Inner Sacred Marriage Process: crucial for having conscious and fulfilled relationships and partnerships. Are you happy/unhappy in your relationship? Do you want a stable relationship but don’t have one? Do you doubt yourself when you’re in a partnership? A yes to any of these questions means it’s time to explore your inner Feminine, your inner Masculine, and engage in your Inner Sacred Marriage process to achieve inner wholeness.

And there’s so much more!
