sedona astrology presents
Oracle at the Crossroads
Halloween Immersion
in Horary Astrology
with the Akashic Field
Hosted at Star Haven Ridge
Led by Merryman Cassels
What if the question keeping you awake could be placed directly before the heavens?
Sedona Astrology invites you to the Oracle at the Crossroads, a three-day experiential immersion in horary astrology, supported by the wisdom of the Akashic Field.
Our weekend begins Thursday evening with an orientation, opening circle, and introduction to the sacred container we will share. Our first practice will be entering the Akashic Field and learning how to open and close the Records. Through guided experience, participants will explore how spiritual guidance may arrive through words, images, sensations, memories, and direct knowing. From this deeper place of listening, we will begin to recognize the living question beneath our curiosity, uncertainty, or concern.
We will then bring that question before the heavens through horary astrology. Participants will learn how to cast a chart for the moment a question is fully received, identify the people and matters involved, and follow the Moon and planets toward timing, movement, and outcome. The Akashic Field will support our discernment and illuminate the deeper pattern surrounding the question, while the horary chart gives the inquiry structure, earthly context, and a clear path toward judgment.
Led by astrologer and Akashic Records guide Merryman Cassels, our time together will include hands-on chart practice, dream incubation, a candlelit Halloween crossroads ritual, and an elective cell phone fast, with time set aside for necessary check-ins. Each participant will receive a comprehensive workbook to guide them through the weekend and support their continued horary practice at home.
October 29–November 1, 2026
Space is limited to a small group!
