About Archē

Archē is the practice of Drew Levanti, a San Francisco-based astrologer working with people and reaching audiences all over the world.

The ‘front door’ of Levanti’s practice is his signature natal chart offering, Attunement Sessions.

Across client work and teaching, Levanti shares the understanding that life infinitely invites us into godly presence. 

Dialogue with Drew is collaborative, fueled by astropoetic interpretation that is realistic, strategic, and affirming of a free-will world. 


Who is Archē for?

Archē is an Ancient Greek word that conveys an idea of first-ness: original, source, or beginning.

As the mandala of our first breath, the birth chart is our beginning—the source of our unique powers. Levanti helps inquisitive, spirited individuals attune to their purpose by finding their archē.

First astrologer for many, personal advisor and teacher for some, Levanti meets you where you are on your astrological journey: for the brand new and astrologically curious, all the way up to committed students of the art. 

Astrology can catalyze alchemical processes—fear gives way to growth, questions to initiation, inheritance to future.

Archē Clients typically book consults 2 to 4 times a year, connecting over path-finding perspective, prophecy, and personalized prayer.

A limited number of clients and committed students gain permission to book sessions monthly. Our relationships with the planets, and with each other, grow even richer over continuing work.

Teaching

Levanti is a prolific teacher of astrology, having instructed well over 500 students on astrology and astromagical practice between 3 courses:

  1. Initiate, Drew’s signature live course exploring the aliveness of time and the everydayness of magic through the lens of electional and inceptional astrology. The next manifestation of this offering is the Initiate Practicum (registration closes January 17), which you can learn more about here

  2. STAR: An Orphic Initiation, in which Drew co-teaches with Kristin Mathis. STAR explores the cosmological, philosophical, and magical roots of Hellenistic Astrology, using Mathis’ original translations of the Orphic Hymns as a lens.

  3. Austin Coppock’s Fundamentals of Astrology Program, in which Drew regularly leads sessions.

Apart from the above offerings, students can get guidance on their astrology education journey with Archē tutoring at the button below.

Elections

If time is like soil, our actions are like seeds. Each moment that we initiate something important holds specific nutrients & potentials for growth.

Elections are that choice of soil.

In electing a time, we align with a certain nutrient profile, an energy potential that drives our development forward.

As your electional astrologer, Drew Levanti brings care, precision, and deep vision to your astrological elections, helping you find the most fertile & nourishing moments to begin what matters most.

Consider purchasing an election for your marriage and marriage license, community events, business and entrepreneurship, employment search, surgery & medical timing, real estate, and magical operations.

In addition to instructing on astrology and astrological magic, Levanti is also an impassioned writer and speaker bridging the art with other fields, including queer, ecological, postcapitalist, and anticolonial thought. He is a fresh, innovative voice in the field with several published works and conference appearances.

  1. At NORWAC 2022, Levanti became the youngest-ever speaker at a major astrology conference, presenting a talk Radical Elections, which is available for purchase, on sale until the end of the year: Purchase Radical Elections

  2. In September 2023 Drew spoke at the Theosophical Society of New York on the Orphic Hymns. Learn more about this work on Kristin Mathis’ Substack.

  3. Drew’s article “The Astrology of Pokémon” appeared in the Aries 2023 Edition of The Mountain Astrologer, the world’s foremost astrology publication, which called the piece a “nostalgic romp.” His mailing list and Substack will be informed when it is available to the public.

  4. The ecological threads of Levanti’s work are highlighted in a 2-lecture package, Saturn & Ecology. Presentations from the Astrological Association Conference and the Astrology & Climate Change Conference are included in that package, available here: Purchase Saturn & Ecology

  5. Levanti spoke for AstroMagia in February 2023. That talk is available to members on their website: AstroMagia.

  6. Published in the magazine WellBeing Astrology, Levanti’s article “Sensing the Planets with Color” advocates a multisensory, synesthetic approach to color in astrological magic. To refine our astrological embodiment, we need to move beyond Newtonian ideas that flatten color to a purely optical phenomenon. Ancient conceptions of color did not have a light spectrum or color wheel, which is why our oldest sources talk about color in a multisensory dimension, evoking specific substances with various textures, reflectivity, and even smells when describing a planet’s color correlations.

Background & Education

Drew was raised as a student in Ramtha’s School of Enlightenment, an esoteric cult in Washington State. As a teen, he turned away from this, breaking with his family, and rejecting spirituality completely for a time.

While he would return to esoteric studies later, on his own terms, this temporary turn from spirituality to rationalism was an important test. Drew attended the University of Chicago and earned his Bachelor’s Degree, with Honors in 2018, focusing on the cultural anthropology of climate change and environmental consciousness. This education freed Drew to explore histories of science and the occult alongside social theories of storytelling.

Astrology found Drew near the end of college, paving his way back to an enchanted worldview. He hasn’t looked back.

Levanti earned certificates from Chris Brennan’s Hellenistic Astrology Course, the School of Traditional Astrology’s Horary Practitioner Course, and he is one of a handful of graduates from Austin Coppock’s Fundamentals of Astrology program, in which he now teaches regularly.
