To who we are becoming, despite and all through our deep struggles, may we spark with the stars and land in this Earth creation with our hearts blazing.
360 DEGREES OF YOUR STAR DESTINY
When Ellias did my reading, it was like he shone a light upon all of the parts of myself that are most valuable, vivid, and honest. More specifically, he was giving me permission to be, or rather telling me, who I really am. Whats valuable about this for me is that its THE MOST VALUABLE THING ON THE PLANET. When he reflected back to me who I was, it was like I saw the rest of my life before me and understood which adventures were honest and which were fake.
I am constantly drawn into worlds I have no business attending, and so this lesson, this helping hand, is more than just a blessing for me. It was really quite simple actually: This is who you are. This is what youve got. This is where the fire is. Now its time to go off!!!!
I let all of the bullshit fall away. I felt at least thirty pounds lighter afterward, and still a few months later find myself drawn to what he shared with me as an anchor for how to embrace the adventure of my own life.
If I hadnt met Ellias, I might have done a million things as a way of trying to make something of my life that have absolutely nothing to do with why Im here. His message was clear and direct. I left knowing where to go and who to be: ME, ME, ME, ME.

For fifty years Ellias Lonsdale has been quietly excavating layers hidden beneath the surface of astrology. This book achieves nothing short of a revolution in astrology and human design. The zodiac will never be looked at the same.
MARK BORAX, CREATOR OF SOUL LEVEL ASTROLOGY AND HEADMASTER OF THE COLLEGE OF VISIONARIES AND WIZARDS
I have been a fan of Ellias Lonsdale since I first laid eyes on his great work Inside Planets way back in the 1990s. It is clear to me that he is a wizard, a genius who knows how to work with the symbols of our precious language of astrology in ways only a fullblown master can.

Acknowledgments
I want to honor those who made this book possible. It is Sara Theanna, known to us in the spirit realm as Haven, who spoke these words to us and who continues to be our vibrant, between-the-worlds co-weaver. It is my current life partner, Sharuna, who responded in body and soul, on the spot, to each star spark as her future path lit up and carried her forward with us ever since. It is Sheila Bachmeier and her helpers, Kristina Danklef, Katie Tenoever, and Mark Borax, who stitched this work together at the utmost level of dedication humanly possible. And to those in future generations who will know what to do with a text that is too strong for us old ones but just right for you.
Foreword
SHEILA BACHMEIER ~ SHESTARAH
The sweet smell of hay in July fills my senses as the birds and the crickets and multitudes of wildlife, especially the deer, wild turkeys, and geese, surround me at the mouth of the marsh in the middle field, which is flanked by high-wooded hills. The flowers and the trees, the grass, and all that rests within the green of nature watch and listen as my fingers strike the keyboard, and I read out loud the star sparks, what we refer to as the unseen. The Sun and the Moon and the planets and the spirit streams within each spark guide the words, the breaths, and the spaces dwelling within the paragraphs. These passages are portals to other places, to other times, to just where one needs to be. Time slows, the body opens, and the heart synchronizes to the beat of the multidimensional prose, the poetic dance of the zodiac. Its a new day.
What I watch inside is the sacred, magical child returning to the upper fields and the Moon circle. Guiding, leading, walking with Christ and Buddha and countless infinite beings, she faerie-dances back and forth and in between multiple worlds and realms, for this is where we dwell, where we live, where our currency comes from. May we feel honored, grateful, and onboard with full remembering of the task and the point and purpose of our love-embodied presence.
As the editor of the original edition of 360 Degrees of Your Star Destiny, I have spent many days and nights with these living oracles, with these shamans, these healers, these spirit guides, these magicians and veil-lifters, and these words. What I can attest to is that each of these degrees lives within us. Some are more potent than others depending on our cosmic blueprint, the cycles, and the seasons, but they all come home to roost on the perch of our hearts at some point. These soul windows are our calling, each of us, sacredly aligned and timed for our greatest good and strongest destiny wind.

INTRODUCTION
The Creation of Star Sparks
This book is a collaboration between myself, Ellias; my current life partner, Sharuna; and the spirit guide we call Haven, who in life was my partner, Sara; as well as a few other key people.
Sara was a Waldorf teacher and then a Wellsprings practitioner (massage and movement to music) and also a full-on partner in the star work, including exploring the degrees together. She was very active in living the spiritual life in depth and substance. Six years after Saras death from breast cancer in 1993, she became the focal point for this book to come through. As the spirit guide Haven, she spoke from the depths of the Divine Feminine to continue her work with the Chandra symbols, illuminating even deeper the messages contained within them. These channeled messages we called star sparks. This book wasnt channeled in an ordinary mediumistic way. Haven was a lucid and wakeful spirit presence who came through the veil to speak in the form of the pages you now read.
We transcribed the original channeled messages in a white heat, from 2000 through 2001. To sustain this work, Sharuna and I had to be in a primal setting in nature so we could find a rhythm and hold to it. We were aware then that this information would be crucial at this time, during the present transition into the Age of Aquaria (Aquarius). Our challenge was to sustain our attunement to this natural pulse throughout an extended writing cycle, making sure it was free and clear. As the degree messages tumbled out, it was Sharunas task to ground them in her body, to know them in their truth, and to nourish herself through their teachings. Her contribution made it all possible.
