What Is
Astrology?
Astrology is essentially the study of the correlation between planetary movements and earthly events. While the study of astronomy is concerned with information about the planets themselves, astrology shows us the meaning of the planets and how they operate in our lives.
A birth chart is a symbolic representation of the heavens at the moment of birth. It shows us our gifts and challenges in this incarnation and points the way to what we may become in the same way that a seed is the blueprint for a plant and the potential fruit it will bear – a blueprint for the soul’s journey. Evolutionary astrologer Steven Forrest calls the practice of astrology ‘sacred work’ because we are dealing with the soul.
Of course, the planets keep moving and as life progresses they will continue to influence our lives through the aspects they make to our natal planets. These ongoing connections are known as transits and can show us the timing for important lessons and events in our lives.

Relationship Astrology
Synastry
We have all had the experience of meeting someone new and feeling an instant rapport or even intense dislike. These people are very likely to have planets in their horoscope that make strong aspects to planets in our own. They often become major characters in the drama of our lives. Sometimes we fall in love with them, sometimes they become our best friends or even our rivals, but there is always a strong reaction.
The study of these interactions is known as synastry or the astrology of relationships. The planets involved give us clues as to how the interaction is experienced – either compatible or challenging – and show how we can best use the planetary energies to make our relationships better. Challenging aspects in the synastry chart show potential areas of conflict or difficulty between two people, and I can suggest strategies to facilitate healing in those areas. The flowing aspects show where the relationship works well, and we can benefit from focusing on these areas. Of course, you can also use synastry to discover the timing for when a relationship is likely to begin or end.
If you would like insight into your current relationship, whether it be with your partner, your family member, or even your boss, contact me for a detailed analysis.
Business
Astrology
Whether you are starting a business, buying a house, or just beginning a new project, give it the best possible chance of success by choosing an auspicious time. It pays to use the energy of the universe to your advantage. There are a few ways to do this:
Avoid Mercury Retrograde periods
Three times a year for a period of three weeks the planet Mercury appears to be moving backwards through the sky. This is due to differing orbits. Mercury Retrograde periods for 2024 are:
- Dec 13, 2023 to Jan 1, 2024
- April 1 to April 24, 2024
- August 4 to August 27, 2024
- November 25 to December 15, 2024
Mercury is associated with communications (marketing, branding, and PR), negotiations, contracts, trading, commerce, products, and sales. When Mercury is retrograde, there is a much higher chance of wasted efforts, misinterpretations, and very slow forward progress.
Use the Lunar Cycle
You will have a much better chance of success when you begin a project just after the New Moon or at least during the waxing moon. The moon waxes and wanes over its 28-day cycle – waxing (increasing) from New Moon to Full Moon and then waning (decreasing) from Full Moon to New Moon. Imagine as you watch the moon grow, you can see your business grow as well. As the moon wanes, take stock of your progress, make adjustments, and rest up to take up initiatives again with the next new moon.
Business Charts
To gain the maximum advantage, I can also set up a natal chart for your business or project and advise you on the most auspicious times to move forward (yes, businesses have birthdays too). If you would like to discuss optimal dates for your business, contact me.

Readings
Sometimes we need some guidance to make an important decision.
In ancient times, ‘Divination’ meant ascertaining the divine will – what do the Gods want? The 21st-century seeker can ask: What does my soul want? What is the right path? What do I need to know in this situation? The tarot can provide the answer.

About
Me
When I was a teenager in the 1970s my parents subscribed to an astrology magazine called the Astrological Monthly Review.
They would both pore over its pages to ascertain what was likely to happen for them in the next month.
As a result I grew up with with the confident acceptance that astrology was real. I didn’t really think about it much more than that until my 30th birthday.
As a gift, my mother ordered an astrology report from the astrologer and Jungian analyst Liz Greene. In its 30 or so pages I read about my core personality, my relationship with my parents, my gifts and challenges, and lots of other information about my inner life.
I was shocked by the accuracy of this report. How could she know me so intimately? How could she describe the deepest parts of me that I thought I had kept secret from everyone?
From that moment on I was hooked and embarked on a quest to find out how astrology worked. This deep study has kept me fascinated for more than 30 years! Around the same I learned how to read tarot cards and they have been a wonderful addition to my skills.
