In times of uncertainty, humans have always looked to the sky.
This immersive, beginner-friendly workshop invites you into the ancient roots of astrology — not as prediction, but as remembrance. Through Kemetic and Vedic lenses, we will explore Sidereal astrology, the original star-based system used for millennia to understand time, fate, and the soul’s orientation in the cosmos.
Together, we’ll revisit the foundations of astrology as practiced in ancient Kemet (Egypt), where celestial observation was inseparable from spirituality, cosmology, and daily life. Long before the Tropical system took hold through colonization, Sidereal astrology offered a precise, embodied map of one’s relationship to the universe.
This gathering offers space to reclaim these ancestral frameworks — while learning how to read your own birth chart with clarity, confidence, and cultural context.
Led by two Moonmoons practitioners, ancestral sidereal astrologer Christina Willis and artist and meditation teacher Javier García Sánchez, the afternoon will unfold with depth, accessibility, and care.

Across this four-hour journey, you’ll be guided through the foundations of Sidereal astrology — both intellectually and experientially.
Together, we’ll explore:
The origins of Sidereal astrology and how it differs from mainstream Tropical astrology
The Kemetic and Vedic roots of star-based cosmology
The meaning of your Sidereal Sun, Moon, and Rising
How celestial timing was historically used to orient life, ritual, and decision-making
How to read and interpret your own Sidereal birth chart with confidence
The workshop is designed to be accessible for beginners while offering depth for those already familiar with astrology. Expect moments of teaching, reflection, discussion, and quiet integration — held in a warm, intimate container.
You’ll leave with a clearer sense of your cosmic identity, practical tools to continue your study, and a renewed relationship to astrology as an ancestral language rather than a trend.
