Hello There

It Started in the Library

I was 10 or 11 when I came across my first astrology book in the library. My parents are big readers so we went to the library often.
After I finished all the Nancy Drew books, I found myself wandering through new aisles that held very intriguing topics. Astrology instantly spoke to me - and so began the ongoing adventure down that rabbit hole. 

I had my first professional astrology reading when I turned 16.
By 19, I was talking with my best friends about their charts and what their planets meant. And why it’s so very vital to get birth details when you first meet that guy at the college party. 😝

I worked one-on-one with a number of astrology teachers and mentors for a few decades starting in the 1990’s. One of my first teachers taught through postal mail, so I would complete his astrology quiz or test, put a stamp on it, and then wait a few weeks to see how I did. Oh, the agony of waiting.

Thankfully the process sped up with technology, as well as in-person mentoring that allowed me to ask pointed questions while receiving incredible guidance, professional direction, and feedback on the spot.

I remember meeting Noel Tyl in 2002 for my first personal astrology session with him. He was gregarious and wise; but intimidating as heck! Yet he saw my own capabilities and was invitational in my astrology studies. Training with him over a number of years advanced my astrological interpretative abilities greatly. He was one of the first astrologers to have an online community for learning and mentorship, too, which provided priceless knowledge for years to come. 

At astrology conferences, classes, and in-person events, I met numerous other astrologers and enthusiasts who continued to reveal the magic and mystery of this ancient art to me. I remember the late Alan Oken possessing a very strong aura and energy field. I recall the amazing intelligence of listening to galactic astrologer Philip Sedgwick share his research and interpretations. Pam Younghans was paramount in my personal studies and ongoing understandings of being a professional astrologer. Her decades of experience in this industry were nothing short of a Divine gift on my path.

Roe Regan introduced me to the art and practice of being an intuitive astrologer in 2011, as she helped guide me through a tumultuous period of Pluto and Uranus transits. I now see that as a birthing period, and her as a powerful guide who revealed more about the complex layers of a birth chart.

And the list of influential astrologers goes on. I am grateful for each expert who has shown up along the way to demonstrate, and live with integrity, the complexities of this calling.

We never have it all figured out in this profession. In fact, it is the ongoing humility of retaining “beginner’s mind” in astrology that allows us to stay open to deeper understandings. 

As I’ve noticed through the years, astrology is a language that opens you up to more of yourself and your energies in powerful ways. It is very complex and detailed, especially the further you go into studying and reading what the glyphs, symbols and energies represent. 💫

One of the most beautiful parts of this language is that you begin to love and accept yourself even more. Beyond what you thought was possible when you first started reading about your sun sign or moon sign.

I am incredibly grateful to connect with thousands of people all over the world who are on this similar path and energy experience.

I hope that my offerings support you in some ways, big or small, as you learn more about your own passion, soul mission, gifts, and joy.

We all rise together.
