I believe that all of the various astrological approaches have their value to the growing field of astrology. I also have affinity toward Psychological and Vibrational astrology as well. I don't draw fixed lines between them because I believe that astrology is an evolving art based on science. We only really understand a bare minimum of all there is to learn and understand about the ways our universe, galaxies, and our own solar system works. There are many solar systems existing in our universe and each has its own "personality". I am NCGR Level III and my primary interests personally are Medical Astrology, Harmonics, Solar Returns, and Astrocartography. Astrology is not an "overnight" adventure or practice. True results come through observation and experience over the long haul. We have centuries to learn from. I read and research, but my primary way of learning and drawing conclusions is through my own pragmatic experience along with observation of others' experiences as they grow through their lives.
My astrological studies began as a psychology undergraduate (1967-1971) with my earliest influence being Dane Rudhyar's "The Astrology of Personality" (because of its deep association with the work of Jung). I have been involved with astrology ever since then (over 50 years?!). My early love of science and geometry, combined with music studies, have led me to a modernistic view of astrology and a simultaneous respect for our ancient heritage. I am particularly interested in connecting our ancestral wisdom with modern science, which led me to write a series of essays over 30 years ago under the banner of "Quantum Astrology." Much of my current work is still about bringing our traditions into the modern world. I am a serious student of history am endlessly fascinated with the connection between evolutionary events for humanity and the corresponding planetary cycles.
I was the president of the WSAA (1992-1994), a founding trustee of Kepler College, and a member of the AFAN Steering Committee. I co-authored (with Jeff Jawer) eight years of the Barnes and Noble annual "Your Astrology Guide" (2006-2013). I wrote a daily horoscope column for over 20 years that was read my millions daily (published on Google.com, Yahoo.com, AOL.com, HuffingtonPost.com, Tarot.com, LATimes.com and more). Although I love to do individual client consultations, more time is spent on teaching online (YouTube, Astrology Hub, Patreon, etc), leading retreats (in India, Bali, Mexico, and the USA), and teach at conferences (UAC, NORWAC, ISAR, plus national conferences in the UK, Portugal, Serbia, India, Australia, Turkey, and Norway).
I am a full-time astrology and will remain so as long as I am alive. I am endlessly fascinated by the magic that astrology reveals. I am continuously amazed by how knowledge of astrology can improve our lives. I am forever indebted to astrology for the richness it brings to my life.
Laura’s philosophy centers on the soul’s evolution through lifetimes of incarnations; that our soul chooses the complete set of circumstances to be born into in any given life. These circumstances include the date, time, location, parents and cultural system, and they provide us and the soul exactly what is needed to evolve. Your natal chart is the map of the soul’s issues/history and of your personality. Laura will explore your chart and help you understand your soul/life purpose, as well as your current life challenges.
