since 2000
The logo you see with SkyDance Astrology was inspired by this image in one of the 12 beautiful stained glass windows created by Dr. Douglas Baker in the 1960s and later inherited by this astrologer. Read their story on The Rose Window page. In esoteric astrology we know the importance of the Rising Sign as the first indicator of the Soul’s Purpose. Since the astrologer’s rising sign is Virgo, and since the 5-petalled rose, like the 5-pointed star is very sacred especially to the Virgin, this image was chosen to be the logo for this esoteric astrology business. In the year 2020, to celebrate 20 years of business we commissioned original artwork by Brenda Heim of HeimArt.com to portray the same flower in a more modern way. Like the ancient wisdom, it is time for a modern rendition.
SkyDance Astrology has been an esoteric astrology service since the auspicious year, 2000. Successful from the start thanks to the support of several counselors who believed in the service esoteric astrology could provide their clients, it flourished and grew, offering more and more services as the years passed. Although physically located in Florida it serves clients all over the world via Zoom, Skype, FaceTime and the phone in a manner long predicted by the Wisdom Traditions! We are a global business. In more recent years Johnson re-connected with several other Claregate College graduates as a means of enlarging the services offered our clients.
SkyDance Astrology employs a pure Esoteric Astrology approach using the Claregate Method as taught in Dr. Douglas Baker’s Claregate College in England. It is NOT mixed in with exoteric astrology as is often practiced by other so-called “esoteric astrologers”. As originally taught by Helena Blavatsky, Alice Bailey and finally, Dr. Douglas Baker, this is the time when people will need the tool of esoteric astrology in order to align more consciously with their Soul’s Purpose. This, the Aquarian Age, is the time when Esoteric Astrology can lead the way to a new, unified society, a time when it will truly become The Language of the Aquarian Age.
Esoteric Astrologer
Charlene R. Johnson was raised in the northwest by an open-minded minister who catered to a Native American reservation. Thus, she was exposed at an early age to more than one belief system in the world, with the idea of core Truths universal to all belief systems. From childhood she connected to the philosophy and lifeways of indigenous people and their love of nature; this was her anchor.
This also proved to be the perfect segue into astrology since the first astrologers were indigenous people world-wide. She first began studying and working with orthodox astrology in the early seventies when she was very shy and socially inept. She discovered it a useful tool for insights into how people think and behave, and used it in her daily life, even as she changed her own Ray makeup in her determined Will to reach beyond her shyness, to become a “normal” adult. 😅
In the nineties she evolved to a new level of searching for her Purpose and the answers to life’s deeper questions. She was introduced to Dr. Douglas Baker and discovered that the Wisdom Traditions of the ancient world fit beautifully into what she already understood of native ceremonies and beliefs. When she took her first Esoteric Astrology course, the last piece of the puzzle slipped into place. At the encouragement of her teacher, she hung her professional shingle in 2000 and became his first American student professionally carrying on the Claregate Esoteric Astrology work.
Long a fan of Carl Jung’s, Johnson was also a student of Caroline Myss’. When Myss’ archetypal work came out she recognized how perfectly it worked with the astrology and added archetypal consultant to her resume’.
A much published author in the thoroughbred world, her first career, and author also of a diverse and adventurous life as seen below, Johnson has much to be grateful for.
