What brought you to astrology?
It’s a rather long story that involves an inappropriate sexual proposition during a job interview and a NY Post Horoscope. Not kidding
Why do you practice astrology? What makes it juicy for you?
Astrology is like the secret language of the universe, through astrology we can glimpse energy patters that can help us see ourselves, our lives and the times we live in more clearly. What amazing gift !
What is your specialty, or focus?
With a Gemini Moon and AC, you say my specialty is versatility. I enjoy medical astrology and use it in my Acupuncture practice, and recently I am focused on financial and Geo political 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?
The upcoming Saturn / Pluto conjunction is currently on my mind.
What is your picture of astrology in the future?
It would be nice to imagine a future where astrology is more commonly accepted as a science and a great art, but perhaps it is always meant to be a specialized knowledge for a select few. Either way hopefully it continues to flourish.
Are there any additional comments you would like to make about your lecture and workshop?
I think it’s really interesting to look at financial markets as living things, dynamic energy patters that reflect the collective moods and emotions and can experience joy and elation as well as being grumpy, moody or depressed. In this way we can actually use astrology can help us understand markets better and Markets can help us understand astrology how the planets work in a very dynamic and quantitative way.
If you discovered a new planet, or asteroid, what would you name it and why?
I would name it Felicitas for the Roman Goddess of Happiness. We need a “Happiness planet” !
