What is Energy Astrology?

Energy Astrology represents a quantum leap forward in the astrological art. It is a powerful synthesis of astrological divination and harmonic medicine– a fusion of Western medical astrology, both traditional and modern, energetic bodywork and technology with sacred science. Above all, it has an experiential component that permits the client to experience transformative planetary vibrations, heal the wounds of the soul, and, in so doing, harmonize themselves with the eternal Music of the Spheres.

Who is MichelAngelo?

An opera singer, classical composer, pianist, astrologer, healer, diviner and writer, MichelAngelo has a long-established astrological practice in which he offers a unique synergy of astrology, divination, sound and harmonic medicine.

MichelAngelo is a Certified Acutonics® Practitioner and Teacher, and, as Acutonics® Director of Astrological Medicine, spearheads a new training program focusing on synergies of Western medical astrology and Oriental medicine, which is the foundation for Acutonics® treatment protocols. The first course in this series, Planetary Bodies 1: Astrological Symbolism, Correspondences and Healing Applications, is structured so as to introduce practitioners to medical astrological theory, practice and applications.

MichelAngelo recently taught a Planetary Bodies 1 in Boulder, CO for Sylvia Pelcz-Larsen of Jupiter's Belle, June 15-17, 2007. Click here for the seminar brochure. Another Planetary Bodies seminar is tentatively planned for autumn of 2008.

Since 2003, MichelAngelo has served as co-developer and co-instructor with Acutonics® co-founder Donna Carey for advanced practitioner and teacher training, and has created his own electives in Western astrological medicine applied via the Acutonics® sound healing system. He recently appeared with Donna Carey at the 2006 International Sound Healing Conference in Santa Fe, NM. He has contributed to the forthcoming Acutonics® advanced level textbook, From Galaxies to Cells, as co-author. In his capacity as Director of Musical Studies, MichelAngelo brings to bear his 30 years of experience as a professional classical musician, including the instruction of Western classical music theory at the university level.

In September of 2005, MichelAngelo and Donna Carey co-created and taught a new Acutonics® elective on the latest addition to the solar system, the Kuiper Belt Object, Sedna (artist rendition right), named after an Inuit creation figure. They contributed an article on Sedna for Oriental Medicine Journal for the 2006 winter issue, devoted to the element of water.

He has written an article on astrology and harmonic medicine as his practitioner thesis, and has collaborated on eight articles for Acupuncture Today with prominent instructor and innovator in the field of facial renewal, Mary Elizabeth Wakefield. In early 2006, he collaborated with Ms. Wakefield on an a second article for Oriental Medicine Journal on 2006, the Year of the Red (Fire) Dog.

MichelAngelo and Ms. Wakefield recently presented a lecture/demonstration on Facial Soundscapes: Harmonic Renewal at the 2nd International Sound Healing Conference, in Santa Fe, NM, on November 11, 2007. Please see the conference web site, http://www.bizspirit.com/Sound07/so7_index.html for more details.

Facial Soundscapes: Harmonic Renewal™ introduces practitioners to the Acutonics® sound healing system as applied to an innovative tuning fork facial. With Ms. Wakefield, MichelAngelo has taught a second consecutive Facial Soundscapes "Intensive", involving Soundscapes 1, Planetary Soundscapes: The Cosmic Countenance, and a new module, The Transcendent Face, in Santa Fe, NM. For more information, see the Soundscapes page of the Chi-Akra Center web site, www.chiakra.com/soundscapes.htm.

He has also co-created a new seminar focused on an alchemical approach to facial renewal, entitled The Alchemy of Healthy Aging: "Sparking the Shen," which debuted at AIMC Berkeley in autumn of 2006; he will appear as Ms. Wakefield's co-presenter on this topic at the Canadian Oriental Medical Symposium in March 2008 in Vancouver, BC.

A voracious reader, and astrological autodidact, MichelAngelo’s attraction to the art was initially given impetus by his study of Jungian and archetypal psychology, leading naturally to the pursuit of psychological astrology. However, he has latterly broadened the scope of his understanding and technical grasp in long-distance coursework on The Astrology of Healing with medical astrologer Ingrid Naiman, lessons in medieval astrology with Robert Zoller, and his continuing immersion in astrological texts both traditional and contemporary. He brings this all-encompassing interest to bear in consultations that focus on crucial life transitions, particularly those involving Chiron, and which incorporate a wide range of techniques. A principal emphasis of his practice is astrological divination, horary and medical, a logical outgrowth of his expertise with the Tarot. He is both a Certified Tarot Master (American Tarot Association) and a Certified Voyager Tarot Consultant.

MichelAngelo has also been an instructor at the New York Open Center, and a facilitator in a number of private workshops in the New York area. In addition to the maintenance of his private practice, he has been the co-host of Renaissance Radio, a live talk show devoted to esoteric subjects, and a regular reviewer for Arcanum, an international magazine of the magical arts. His writings have appeared both online and in print.

In 2004, MichelAngelo became an ordained a Minister of The International Assembly of Spiritual Healers and Earth Stewards (SHES).
