Astrology is a language of nature, energy, and symbols. It helps us make some sense of things by understanding the cosmic order, its patterns and cycles. The correlation between the movements of heavenly bodies and our lives here on Earth is obvious if you're looking and open to it. And there's always a literal and emotional aspect to our experiences. Once you find an astrological pattern or thread and bring some imagination to it, it can take you many places, inside and out.

 

Clients often ask me what their purpose is, or how to expand it, and I used to be really into purpose. Now I think that chasing purpose might not be the best choice. Maybe it's better to follow our passion or calling and see where it takes us? Which leads me to predictions and certainty. Many of us want to know what to do and what will happen. We can look ahead and behind with astrology (which can be very helpful), but, even more importantly, it can help us navigate and be more present and conscious in both the challenging and joyful times. It can help us deepen our relationships with ourselves and life.

 

Instead of using astrology to find absolute certainty, I work with it to be in and move through uncertainty with more calm, courage, clarity, and faith. To open to guidance and flow, and be moved by life rather than insist on moving life. Astrology isn't something we do separate from the rest of life. It's the energy of life as it's happening. Its symbols, images, myths, and stories connect us with the facets of our personal and collective nature, the natural spirits and presences of life. I'm feeling more and more that it's helping me let go into what is.  ​
