LONG BIO
I am an Aquarius Sun, Taurus Moon and Capricorn Rising. I may have my head in the stars, but my feet are firmly planted on the ground.
I find this disposition is rather helpful when people come to me for my services. We connect over our passion for esoterica, but get REAL in the practical application of it all.
I will never forget the moment I first learned about astrology.
I was about 9 or ten years old, and we were lingering around the dining room table having just finished eating and were talking about everything and nothing when my older brother brought up the fact that three of us siblings are Aquarius and our poor youngest brother is a Virgo.
"What does that mean?" I asked.
My mom (a Libra sun) eloquently explained how some people believe the stars above are connected to our destiny, that the movement of planets can tell us about our fate. At that moment every single cell in my body shifted and stood at attention.
It was as if the information she was sharing was pouring from her mouth like honey and streaming into my ears and landing in my heart in a ribbon of sticky sweetness.
It was like the operating system within my makeup had just downloaded an upgrade and would be able to process life more rapidly and efficiently.
This was one of those times in life where you just know you are having a moment of past life remembrance and you hear your guides cheering you on as they try to encourage you to find your purpose and path and you have a visceral reaction that your ten year old self isn't able to articulate, but you just know nothing is ever going to be the same going forward. (Or, could it have been a manifestation of the exact conjunction between my Lot of Fortune and Uranus in the 9th? *wink*)
Though I have been a fan of astrology since then, I admit that I only began to deepen my study in 2010, when I was in college for psychology. My social work class required me to create a public offering and I chose to create a workshop for women (which I called "The Goddess Diaries," the modern woman's journey of self discovery as viewed through a mythological lens.) I took that workshop and expounded on it, co-relating the information to the phases of the moon and the development of a woman's life cycle, and ever since, have been teaching these principles to my clients.
Concurrently, I learned the basics of chart reading through an apprenticeship with a local astrologer, and I became intrigued by how mythology, story and the evolution of the human condition are reflected in astrology.
I began experimenting with evolutionary astrology, using it as a tool in my counseling and life coaching practice. I believe in free will, but the more I remember my soul's story the more I am being convinced that we are part of a grand co-creative process with the Divine and this dance between planetary movement and the human psyche is clearly outlined within the blueprint of one's natal chart.
Personally, I have taken apart my natal chart and put it back together again...
I have a very, er...busy(!) chart. Nearly every planet or point is in aspect to one another (two grand air trines, a kite configuration, a butterfly configuration, a 4th House Moon and an interception.)
The thing I have found about using astrology as a counseling tool is that clients don't really care about the technical jargon side of their consultations -- they want to know the stories! They want to understand how these archetypal patterns are unfolding in their own lives and seek clues as to how to navigate the experiences with meaning-making responses.
I am a voracious reader and I aspire to learn from everyone with whom I come into contact. Having said that, I've taken numerous online courses, including courses from the Jeffrey Wolf Green School of Evolutionary Astrology, Demetra George and others. I appreciate the diversity of astrology, having read extensively Donna Cunningham, Joanne Wickenburg, Dr. Robert Hand, Steven Forrest, Mark Jones...
I make it part of my continuing education to attend two workshops per quarter and as many astrology conventions I am able to.
In my personal life, I am a mom of 7 -- five my own and 2 step children!-- and I have three granddaughters whom I feel so lucky to be Matriarch over! (A manifestation of my fourth house moon in action!)
I love to travel with my partner of 11 years (9th house synastry) and we both enjoy buying, rehabbing and selling old houses (oh, did I also mention our Scorpio synastry is lit?) As an aside, I initially obtained my Idaho real estate license for this reason.
Aside from my laptop, my other sacred space is the kitchen where you will often find me cooking my famous "Zen Chicken," my way of unwinding after a long day of coaching, consulting and writing.
And since we moved into our current 1937 Bungalow, you might also find me during the spring and summer months tending to my lush flower gardens where there is always something in bloom from early spring to late fall -- tulips, violets, peonies, roses, poppies, tiger lilies, irises and more...
