"Cherokee astrology"?
"The Cherokee Calendar is a Venutian calendar of 260 days This consists of the 20 day signs and 13 numbers [20x13=260]. This is not to be confused with the time it takes Venus to orbit the sun. Venus appears in the East as the Morning star for a little over 260 days, and in the West as the Evening Star for a little over 260 days. It is interesting to note that 260 days is also the approximate gestation time of a human. It amuses me that everything in nature is always approximate, nothing is carved in stone or completely predictable. We do well to learn this lesson... Nothing comes out as a whole number. The time it takes for the Earth to orbit the sun is also approximate... approximately 365.24 days. The moon takes anywhere from 27 to 30 days to orbit the Earth -- depending on the point of reference used to calculate the orbit. As Cherokees we celebrate the Solar New Year on the first new moon after the setting of the Pleiades Star Cluster, which was somtime around the first of November. Traditionally it was the responsibility of the Daykeeper to synthesise the Calendars of Venus, teh Sun, and the Moon, and to select the most appropriate [and usually approximate!]Day for each New Moon Ceremony. The twenty Days of the Cherokee calendar move around the circle counterclockwise, thus harmonising with the direction that the Earth orbits the Sun.
In Cherokee Astrology, the signs change from day to day [unlike western and Chinese astrology, where they take approximately a month]. People born in the same direction of the medicine wheel [east, south, west, or north] will have similarities, as will people born under the same element. People born with the same Day sign but at different times of the year will also have things in common. There is much to be learned about ourselves by examining who we are according to Cherokee Astrology.
What Does Cherokee Astrology Reveal?
A Cherokee Astrology Reading looks at where you were born on the Medicine Wheel and what qualities that brings to your earthwalk. It looks at the Element under which you were born and what qualities that brings to your earthwalk. It looks at the Moon under which you were born and what qualities that brings to your earthwalk. It looks at the phase of the Moon under which you were born and what qualities that brings to your earthwalk. It looks at the Day you were born and what qualities that brings to your earthwalk. It looks at the Number of the day you were born and what qualities that brings to your earthwalk. Finally, with the gift of Sight with which Creator has blessed"
It's just amazing how this alleged Cherokee astrology is so much like an Aztez calendar. The med wheel bit seems like Sun Bear.
Seems like there are quite a few others out there claiming to teach Cherokee astrology. Funny part is that they have a dragon as a zodiac sign. And rattlesnake tooth as another. Do they even have rattlesnakes over in the North Carolina foothills? You don't even see them much going from west to east Texas.

Called Nvyagawoniha (which means Stonetalker) by a Lenne Lenape chief, Rainbow is a constant student in the mystery schools of life. A published author, recorded singer songwriter, accomplished storyteller, and intuitive artist; she is at her happiest when she is creating something. While living in England she studied complimentary and alternative healing disciplines, and is a practitioner of aromatic stone massage and crystal healing.

Of course we wouldn't want shady companies doing "empathic astrology."

I'm trying to picture how you coach metaphysics. Yell at those crazy ideas to get the lead out?
"She is of Cherokee blood, and the medicine elders that trained her in the shaman's path call her 'Stonetalker.' She works as an ordained minister and shaman elder in her community where she walks between worlds as a teacher, healer, and intercessor."
The psychic hotline community? California Nuage community? Or English twinkie community?
"She is in constant communication with her totems and spirit guides in the animal, stone, and plant kingdoms who tell her with wisdom and clarity what the situation needs. Rainbow also channels an entity called the Ancient One, who provides accurate and sometimes immediate answers to the situation at hand. Working with the spirit guardians of the medicine wheel, Rainbow will look into your current issues and help you untangle them to lead you into a life of fullness and empowerment."
Then why can't those spirits help her get a better job than keeping people on the phone for 3 bucks a minute?
You're right, this almost belongs under comedy.
