Astrology

When I was 28 years old, I felt like every area of my life was turned upside down.  I reached out to a friend and mentor of mine who was 10 years and one day older than me.  Looking to her (as I had many times before) for wisdom and perspective, she responded with “check out the time in astrology called the Saturn Return and get back to me when you’re done.”  I sat there puzzled – I had hoped for a clearer answer!  But I was curious.

I did check it out, and I learned that the Saturn Return is something everyone goes through.  It’s a time of sorting out our lives.  All people between the ages of 27 – 30 are called to look at their lives, decide what they are committed to and make choices.  Not only did I learn about the Saturn Return in particular, I also learned that we have these kinds of processes with different themes at all kinds of intervals in our lives (at ages 40 – 42, 50, 56 – 60, just to name a few).

In astrology, I found a comfort that I have yet to find in any other tool.  There are reasons for what I go through in life, that it’s normal, that it always has an end (thank goodness!). If I work with the energy present, it would be easier from here on out.  This knowledge has changed my life.  As I continue to understand myself through astrology, I have learned how to better see and define my gifts and challenges, and accept and celebrate them both.

Here’s some ways astrology can be helpful:

Sometimes we need a totally different perspective. Think about how people leave their known places to get inspiration – taking a retreat, journaling, going for a walk, traveling, meditation.  Astrology can provide a similar kind of perspective.  I also like to think of it as another language, one that crosses the borders of left and right brain, science and art.

It’s a great way to access your inner knowing. I believe astrology operates best when it connects us to ourselves.I will not tell you  what you should do or never do. Astrology and I will give you permission to trust yourself.

Inviting in mystery opens up possibility. A confession: I’m not really sure why astrology works. Even though I have been doing consultations for years, I often find myself in awe at how it gets to the core of the matter. It inspires me, helps me have trust and faith in challenging times and invites me to let go and see how things will unfold – with just the right amount of support.

All consultations come with:

• your chart
• overview of what astrological energy is available
• recording
