Why Astrology?
Astrology is often reduced to stereotypes or personality memes, but that’s never been what drew me. What captivated me was how layered it is and everything it touches. I love that it sits at the intersection of philosophy, psychology, art, mythology, the occult, and spirituality, which were all subjects I’ve nerded out over for as long as I can remember. I was especially drawn to Carl Jung’s understanding of the psyche, the subconscious, and archetypes, and how seamlessly those ideas bleed into astrological symbolism. Astrology became a language to me, a language of the cosmos, and somehow it felt familiar. I picked it up like a second language.
The practice first began with the Babylonians in Mesopotamia in 2nd millennium B.C., though its roots can be traced even further back to the 3rd millennium B.C. by the Sumerians. The oldest known horoscope chart even believed to date to 409 B.C. The Babylonians took it a step further by developing the organized system of astrology, including the 12-sign zodiac wheel. They leveraged this practice to track celestial bodies to predict seasonal changes and divine omens. Then the Greeks blended Babylonian astrology with their own practices, resulting in horoscopes. This emerged during the beautiful Hellenstic period of the Mediterranean in 4th century B.C. to 2nd century A.D. For thousands of years, astrology was not separate from astronomy and was considered a legitimate academic discipline used to understand human behavior until the 17th century.
Make no mistake – astrology is observation, not magic. It emereged from tracking celestial cycles and correlating them with earthly events. That doesn’t mean it “causes” things. It means humans noticed patterns. Astrology works because humans are pattern-seeking beings. We understand ourselves through story and symbol. Archetypes help us recognize parts of ourselves we might otherwise avoid. When those parts are named, we gain perspective and perspective drives behavioral change.
This space exists because I don’t believe astrology is about certainty or superiority; rather it’s about awareness, autonomy, and agency. My hope is that through this work, we learn together. I want to help people trust themselves more deeply, understand their timing, and feel prepared for the shifts and transitions life inevitably brings. Astrology doesn’t replace free will; it helps you work with the energy available to you. And that, to me, is where its real power lives.
What To Expect When We Work Together
My sessions are reflective, collaborative, educational and grounded. I use astrology as a language for understanding patterns, timing, and inner wiring – supporting clarity and choice rather than certainity.
This work is meant to help you feel more oriented within your own expereince, especially during moments of change, uncertainity, or transition. I want you walking away feeling empowered and more self-aware.
Before Our Call
If you haven’t had your natal chart read by an astrologer before, I suggest starting there. This gives us a shared language and lays the foundation for a deeper understanding of your inner landscape and the major themes shaping your life. Once you’ve had your natal chart reading, you’re welcome to come back every three months or so for transit readings, if you wish.
When booking a call, please provide your birth date, time, and location, along with a line or two about anything you’d like us to focus on. Once submitted, I will spend time preparing by generating your chart and putting together a detailed guide of your chart or current transits, which you will receive after our call.
During Our Call
We explore your chart with care and curiosity, focusing on emotional rhythms, recurring themes, and lived experience. Starting with your Sun, Moon, and Rising, we’ll work our way through each house and planet and how they interact with one another.
When doing a transit reading, we can review meaningful dates from the past or explore any dates you’re curious about within the next 90 days. I’ll also explain the meaning behind everything we discuss so you leave feeling educated and empowered.
My philosophy is education-oriented. I want you to understand the practice and yourself more deeply so you can walk away feeling empowered.
