There are times, even when we know ourselves well, that we feel a need for an objective and wise counsel to validate our reality so that we can move forward with confidence and renewed faith in ourselves. Astrology serves our needs well in this regard. It is my joy to utilize the tools of this ancient and sacred scientific craft to validate others and assist them in discovering and  walking their path with heart.

I began studying astrology back in 1980. A friend recommended that I have my chart read by an astrologer.  Being Virgo rising with a Capricorn Sun, I tend to be skeptical about things until I directly experience them. My friend believed and she pushed.  For weeks.  I finally relented--only to appease her.

I was impressed, but far from convinced. The reading ignited an interest to explore astrology more thoroughly,  Without respite, I have studied, practiced, and researched astrology with grand enthusiasm ever since. (And I'll happily do so for the remainder of my life because I'll still not have peeled back all the layers of this fabulous tool!) The planets have come to life for me over the last 24 years. They continue to do so in exciting and delightful ways. I have come to understand that what is exactly right and healthy for one person can be the self-undoing for another. While Divine Providence embraces us all, the particulars of the human living out of our essential exceptionalness is unique to each and every one of us. When there are facets and needs of the self that are ignored, denied, or repressed, it can inadvertently rob us of the joy that is our birthright. As a tool, astrology is excellent at validating and thereby liberating to consciousness, the wholeness of the self. (I thank you, Cindy, for opening the door to what has become my path with passion!) 

My approach to astrology then, is to use it as a tool for self-validation and understanding.  Astrology has given me an enormous appreciation and respect for differences and the inherent neutrality in its symbolism.  Every birth chart outlines both challenges and strengths.  My job as an astrologer is to synthesize all of the information contained in a your birth chart, without bias or prejudice, and to share the practical and spiritual meaning of the symbols with you. This allows you to harness the energies and utilize them to create the most  joyful and fulfilling life - one that is in celebration of your unique self.  

I believe we are all exceptional beings, even if some of us have not remembered so yet. Exceptional spiritual beings having a human experience. Not an easy thing! I believe it takes a lot of courage to be human. There's a lot of mucky-muck to journey through but it's also full of treasures. It helps to keep in mind that we are all "humans in training" and that at times we need some guidance to assist us in remembering to bring our exceptionalness to bear on our human experience. I have the intent to walk my path with awareness: honestly, humbly, and harmlessly while in alignment with the flow of my spiritual & human integrity.  Nothing gives me more peace than the awareness of the perfection in our human imperfection.  For me, that is the great *Yes!* in life.  Not just for me--for all of us.
