what to expect


People seek astrological consultation for many reasons. These typically include: the search for clarified identity and direction; coming to terms with personal history or current life challenges; desire for greater expression of the spiritual-creative dimension of being.

My approach as an astrological counselor is to support and help define the particular needs of the client, while also encouraging awareness of the astrological material as an embodied reality. My work uses both the language of astrological archetypes and the intelligence of the body, thus ensuring that the discovery process is not just an intellectual exploration. (Please see body-centered astrology.)

I use the ancient symbolism of astrology, not as a rigid delineation of character or future events, but to help access innate wisdom and encourage the unique creative expression of each individual.

Two levels of consultation are offered to my clients:

  • Initial and on-going examination of the chart toward: greater understanding of strengths and challenges; insight into developmental transitions; conscious alignment with cycles of personal growth.
  • Deeper experiential exploration of issues through introspective movement. (Please see moving introspectively).
