Best Astrologer Winner 3 years in a row

Cradled Scorpio Full Moon
 
Dear John,

Blessings to you and yours!

I've been doing weekly sessions with my first shamanic mentee, Ami Lee, for just a few months now. Even though this 29-year-old prodigy had no shamanic experience when we started, she's integrated my teachings so quickly that I now consider her my equal in many ways. The fact that she's roughly half my age seems to give her an advantage: she's mastering subtle energy techniques in a week that took me years to learn!

And she's not alone. I've met lots of young people who are holding extraordinary consciousness. I recently chatted with a 21-year-old at a party, and said that I felt angels all around her. She thanked me for noticing, and said that she had never felt any sense of separation from these magnificent divine beings.

Our global situation may look grim from a certain point of view. But with such inspiring examples of humanity in our younger generations ... and I have no doubt that there are huge numbers of these extraordinary beings across the planet ... we have ample reason for hope.

More reasons for hope are detailed in my recommended book selection below by Charles Eisenstein, The More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know Is Possible.

Astrologically, a Scorpio Full Moon highlights the first half of May. We also have Mercury turning direct, a Mars-Neptune square that can help integrate spiritual energy into physical action, and more.

All this and more, including May's free session winner, below. Enjoy this AstroShaman News!
Recommended Book

The More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know is Possible

Change the story, change the world! That's the basic message of visionary author Charles Eisenstein's most recent book, The More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know Is Possible.

Of course, changing your story is no small matter. Most of us have been thoroughly indoctrinated into the world's current consensus reality, the toxic Story of Separation. Awakening into the Story of Interbeing, in which there is no ultimate separation between you and anything else, is a radical and liberating shift.

Eisenstein is a clear, insightful and eloquent writer. He does a beautiful job walking the reader step-by-step through this conceptually challenging journey. I've been evolving more deeply into interbeing for many years now, and was delighted to receive valuable new insights.

Eisenstein addresses the issues that plague us head-on, with chapters such as Breakdown, Cynicism, Insanity, Despair and Scarcity. But as the book nears its conclusion, we enter the territory of Miracle, Truth, and Initiation. Eisenstein's compassionate and uplifting worldview shows a way out of hopelessness into a radiant reality where you and everyone else can thrive.

In alignment with the "gift economy" principles Eisenstein laid out in his earlier book, Sacred Economics, the entire text of The More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know Is Possible is available free online. Sample a few pages and see what you think!

A Scorpio Full Moon, its opportunities amplified by a flowing Cradle aspect pattern, highlights the first half of May. We also have Mercury turning direct, three additional aspect patterns, a Mars-Neptune square that can help integrate spiritual energy into physical action, and more!

Our Part 1 Listener Chart features Katherine. A powerful Thor's Hammer is lighting up her natal Mars. I lay out a broad range of life-affirming ways she can use this transiting aspect pattern!

"Incredible Insight!!"

"Blown away. Still feel like I am sort of floating...lighter and very CLEAR. The natal chart analysis was so impactful!! I am 42 and am making some major changes and now I feel so inspired to keep moving in the direction I have been called toward. I love to work and if we have to work we may as well make (OUR) dreams happen! Thanks toxic, greedy boss for helping me know what I do NOT want again! I am embracing this beautiful flow of change! Benjamin helped magnify and illuminate my path."
