What is the Turning of the Ages?

TOTAMS recognizes that Global Humanity is experiencing a great turning point in the largest known cycles of history with at least six historic timelines currently converging.

This extremely rare and important time is known as the “Turning of the Ages” and it is happening NOW.

As with any Turning of the Ages, we are akin to the Merlin, the Magi, or the priestesses of Avalon, and all who knew, like now, when there was such a great turning.

TOTAMS uses and teaches a completely unique astrological paradigm,
first sourced by Daniel Giamario.

Giamario has been an astrologer since 1969. After establishing his practice on a Rudhyarian foundation, he received a vision for this unique paradigm on a vision quest at Mount Shasta in 1981. The founding of TOTAMS is the natural evolution from the Harbingers of the Turning of the Ages and the Shamanic Astrology Mystery School.

The paradigm includes mythic, psychological, and spiritual elements inspired by numerous global traditions, synthesizing the most important ingredients that are applicable to contemporary global humanity.

This astrological system uses a Three Worlds Approach, inspired by global Shamanic traditions, offering techniques to navigate the Upper, Middle, and Lower Worlds. And above all, there is a strong emphasis on the experience and knowledge of the night sky.

Since the launching of the third wave of the school as the Turning of The Ages Mystery School in July of 2022, some have been asking about the lesser known first wave in the 1980’s, as the Harbingers of The Turning of The Ages and the Astrological Vision Quest. Daniel and Awen discuss this first wave, featuring Mt. Shasta, Joshua Tree National Monument, Mt. Haleakala on Maui, and Callanish in Scotland.
