I don’t know about you, but for me, and wherever else i look, it feels as if we’re being boiled in a cauldron of change. It’s hot, it’s steaming, it’s uncomfortable. The cook is stirring frantically, and too many spices are thrown in. Though the acceleration of … well, just about everything, is absolutely to be expected and probably “normal” during a Great Turning of The Ages, it doesn’t make it any easier to navigate, let alone more gentle on our frayed nervous systems.
So what can help? What do we need? What’s the compass to steering our ship, personally and collectively, in the right direction, avoid the icebergs, and be in service to life, the wellbeing of all living beings, be it Mother Earth or any of her mineral, plant, animal or human children – not to forget our own precious selves?
The answer is both simple and complex, only a breath away, never easy, but ever to be carried as our banner.
Dharma, Life Purpose and Original Intent
TOTAMS Founder Daniel Giamario emphasizes that “dharma” refers to the responsibility and duty of your current incarnation, as well as what the culture and community expect from you. He states that the purpose of astrology is to help uncover one’s original intent of life purpose and to align with it, using free will.
That’s right, uncover, explore, learn as much as you can about, embody and express your unique dharma, the why for incarnating into this lifetime in the first place, follow this as your true north, and notice how, over time, it becomes more and more irrelevant what happens with regards to outer circumstances. The ever present pearl of peace presents itself by pursuing purpose. Course 01 Understanding Birth Charts: The Journey of the Soul can certainly help with this!
Now, this doesn’t mean that life becomes a velvet cushion or a bed of roses. Not at all. On the contrary, in order to support you to the highest and best, it will keep challenging you to recognize and face your shadows, bravely navigate the planetary transits, seasons and cycles we all meet on the astrological timeline of our lives, and go and grow (sometimes be pushed and pulled screaming and kicking!) in the direction of your original intent. Course 02 Tracking Transits: Seasons & Cycles can certainly help with this!
Neither last nor least, understanding the archetypal patterning of ourselves as well as those of our nearest and dearest, our loved ones, partners, friends, colleagues and even business associates, is a sure-fire way of being able to stay strong in the storm of all kinds of relationships and what they demand from us in every way on every day. Course 03 Relationships: Chart Comparison & Inner Wholeness can certainly help with this!
Step on The Path
Following the arrow of my exploration, one can easily see why the path to TOTAMS Certification is such a valuable one to choose and why it’s now more important than ever to truly understand the patterning of life, ourselves, those we care about, and the cosmos we reside in.
So, without further ado, i most warmly encourage you to investigate your options now, before the next Full Moon on September 26, when our school unfortunately, due to rising overhead costs and an increasing tech-stack necessary to smoothly run operations, has to substantially raise prices for all foundational courses and certification packages. Make this once-in-a-lifetime investment, step on the path, and allow the rest to become history … Daniel, i, and the TOTAMS Team look forward to welcoming you on the inside!
