What brought you to astrology?
I got into astrology after a series of meaningful, and ceremonial, ayahuasca experiences in South America. The nature of the experiences, along with the people I met, got me interested in consciousness, archetypes, and divination, and astrology and yoga followed shortly after!
Why do you practice astrology? What makes it juicy for you?
I love hearing people’s stories, and I love seeing the divine patterns of the planets at work in all aspects of life, from seemingly mundane things to very big things.
What is your specialty, or focus?
I practice a fusion of ancient natal astrology, archetypal astrology, and horary astrology.
Is there a planet, sign, or aspect you’ve been exploring lately that represents an archetype or energy that feels important to you right now?
As a native Mars in Gemini, I am extremely curious to see what this upcoming Mars retrograde will bring!
What is your picture of astrology in the future?
I would like to see astrology, and divination in general, talked about as a valid means of knowing or relating to nature, each other, and the universe.
Are there any additional comments you would like to make about your lecture and workshop?
I hope everyone will enjoy it!
If you discovered a new planet, or asteroid, what would you name it and why?
Yoda. Because I feel like he deserves a planet!
