Online Workshop

September 6-7

Inner Alchemy Astrology

Inner Alchemy Astrology, developed by Master Mantak Chia as a branch of Chinese astrology, is a unique and powerful system that provides insights into an individual’s energetic makeup and how it relates to the Five Elements. This astrology system allows you to examine the energy you were born with and how it influences your life today. It also offers guidance on how to correct any imbalances in your energy using Inner Alchemy Practices, which are a key component of the Universal Healing Tao System.

1. Energy Assessment: Inner Alchemy Astrology provides a deep and comprehensive analysis of your energetic constitution. It helps you understand the interplay of the Five Elements (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water) within your birth chart. This knowledge can shed light on your personality, strengths, weaknesses, and life path.

2. Personal Growth: By understanding your astrological profile through the lens of Inner Alchemy, you can identify areas where you may have energy imbalances. These imbalances can lead to physical, emotional, or mental challenges. The system offers Inner Alchemy Practices that allow you to harmonize and balance your energy, leading to personal growth and well-being.

3. Relationship Compatibility: Inner Alchemy Astrology not only provides insights into your own energy but also helps you understand the energetic dynamics between individuals. This can be incredibly useful for assessing compatibility in relationships, whether they are personal, romantic, or professional. By knowing the energetic makeup of two people, you can gain a deeper understanding of how they interact and how to improve those interactions.

4. Self-Discovery: The system encourages self-discovery and self-awareness. It can help you uncover your true potential and understand how to tap into it. This knowledge can be empowering, enabling you to make informed choices in various aspects of your life.

5. Holistic Healing: Inner Alchemy Astrology is closely linked to the Universal Healing Tao System, which encompasses a wide range of holistic practices for health and well-being. By incorporating Inner Alchemy Practices into your life, you can address not only the energetic aspects but also the physical, emotional, and spiritual dimensions of your health.

These elements are dynamic energies that influence your personality, health and life path. They shape how you think, feel and interact with the world. Some energies may be dominant, while others need strengthening.

How do they affect you?

  • Each element is linked to an organ system (e.g., Fire → Heart, Water → Kidneys).

  • Each element governs certain emotions (e.g., Wood → Anger, Metal → Grief).

  • Balancing these energies helps cultivate harmony in your body and mind.
