Trudy's Approach to Astroshamanism


On the precipice
the Unknown seduces me, then fades away...
like an intimate dream vaguely
remembered, as I stand in stillness
and know.

Astrology, the oldest symbolic language, and Shamanism, the oldest healing method, are being combined in modern consultations as Astroshamanism. Astrologers are often referred to as modern shamans, so it is a natural evolution to combine them into one complementary healing art. Shamanism is integrated at some level in my all of my Astrology Consultations. However, I provide specific consultations (explained below) for exploring Astroshamanism to help clients deepen their self-awareness.

CougarOne of my personal power animals is the Puma or cougar, which represents coming into your own power. Working with individuals to balance power, intention and strength is a premise of my astroshamanism. We will work with being “on the precipice” and learning to transform our fears into courage by facing the unknown. In journeywork through drumming, I help clients discover truths about their inner selves or archetypes so they can come into their own power and manifest potential.

As an Astroshaman, the cycles and rhythms of earth and sky are considered. I work with the archetypes of Astrology (planets and zodiac signs) and Shamanism (spirit animals and ancestral guides). My counseling focuses on bringing archetypes to consciousness, so that we may empower our relationship with them and be more balanced.

The Astromedicine that I practice is related to Shamanism from a healing perspective. The planets and signs all correspond with nature’s medicine from the plant, animal and mineral kingdoms. I acknowledge Shamanic or Transformational illness/trauma as a call for Self-Realization on the path to healing. Also, I see the astrology chart as a medicine wheel or mandala, recognizing the soul’s symbolic language of healing.

These sessions are best experienced as follow-up to Astrology Consultations for deepening insights regarding Inner Archetypes:

AstroShamanistic Counseling: “Upon the Precipice,” Journeying into the Archetypes

In this session, I go into a Shamanic Journey through drumming with the intention of learning more about your archetypes. This can be predetermined beforehand or I can journey with an open intention to discover what is best for my client’s current needs. Examples of archetypes are Astrological, such as, the planet Saturn or Shamanic, such as, power animals. If we explore the astrological archetypes, I will utilize the Astrology Chart as a portal for journeywork. We will explore “being on the precipice” and transforming fears into courage by facing the unknown through your archetypes.

AstroShamanistic Counseling: Discovering your Inner Shaman or “Wounded Healer”

In this session, we utilize the Astrology Chart to learn about your archetype, Chiron, our inner shaman or “wounded healer.” Chiron is a comet that travels between the planets Saturn (most outer conscious planet) and Uranus (unconscious planet), symbolizing the journey between the conscious and unconscious worlds. It can show us how some of our deepest wounds can guide us to profound healing. My focus is on allowing these past wounds to open the heart with compassion instead of closing the heart with fears from the past. Just as important as Chiron, we will address any past Shamanic or Transformational illnesses/trauma and how to interpret this as a call for Self-Realization. Journeywork with drumming may be used here, depending on the client’s needs.
