Finding alignment through Astrology

Loading player...
Astrology in Africa, as in other societies, has for many years been considered a form of divination that involves forecasting earthly and human events through the observation and interpretation of the Sun, the Moon, the fixed stars, and other planets. According to ancient practices originating from Mesopotamia, astrology shaped the perceptions and particular practices of society; informing their understanding and experiences of the world.
Astrology has for many centuries been considered an important form of intelligence, helping humanity know the truth, explaining cosmological alignments around the time of birth of people, and foretelling events, at times preventing negative foreseen events from taking place. Due to the marginalisation of peoples, and ancestral and societal trauma, much of this intelligence has been suppressed. As a result, many people suffer from low self-worth, esteem and disempowerment.
In this conversation, we speak to Makhosi Maïlé Moon about how understanding astrology and one's personal astrological DNA can help individuals and communities heal, shifting their energies from powerlessness to self-empowerment.
Maïlé Moon (Makhosi Ngonakame) is an Evolutionary Astrologer, Healer, and Musician. She has been working with cacao and sound as well as rose medicine for the past 8 years, living in between the Mayan lands of Guatemala and the mountains of Europe.
