My approach to astrology is trauma-informed and I have a deep passion for working with survivors including people in recovery.
I am an energy intuitive, or alchemist, and use my metaphysical senses, as well as modern and traditional astrology, to interpret my clients charts. I approach astrology similar to how I approach the energy work I offer. I have been working with an astrology mentor since the summer of 2020 and have explored other modalities, but always come back to the basics, however not "basic" using my clairsenses may seem. Whether I am working with a client on the table, or in a reading, I see myself simply as messenger or conduit, for the universe to speak through and provide information to others that ultimately will assist with their overall wellness and spiritual growth in this lifetime.

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.
