Here's a bit about me!
Here's a bit about me!
Before falling in love with Astrology, I was a good Minnesota wife who raised our to kids to call any carbonated beverage, "pop", crunched numbers to make a living, and was considered normal by any standard.
I also had a lot of baggage, crippling anxiety and the realization I had lost myself somewhere along the way.
And then I had an astrology reading and there it was - a chart that explained me so perfectly I hardly recognized the person I had become. No wonder I was going nuts. I was trying to survive by someone else's rules! I made myself a promise - never again!
Then, I did what any reasonable person would do - I dove head first into the study of astrology, took classes, read every book I could get my hands on, and joined all the astrology groups & clubs. After that, I stalked my friends, family, neighbors, casual acquaintances and sometimes enemies so I could practice my new found hobby until it became a full blown passion.
And that brings us to today. I am always evolving, but loving what I do every day. Thank you for being a part of it.
How I view astrology
How I view astrology
I consider astrology a "soft science" much like Psychology or Sociology. All three are incredibly helpful. Can they be wrong? Sure, but not very often and usually it's because there was some element they didn't consider.
Most everything I talk about during your reading can be independently verified through a simple google search. I think I'm pretty awesome at what I do, but I'm no where near important enough that google goes to me for all it's astrology advice. So Astrology is both verifiable and can be replicated - two key elements that bring it closer to "science".
Astrology does something unique in terms of being a soft science. It reveals who we are at our core—and even hints at who we’re becoming, shaped by the way life unfolds around us. It’s a truly remarkable blend of nature and nurture.
That's pretty amazing to watch unfold!
What's my reading style?

I'll never forget the time my friend told me astrology was fake and it was just a bunch of generalized human concepts.
I explained that astrology was definitely about exploring human concepts, but that it was deeply personal and oddly specific. I said "take Venus in the 9th house for example. Those guys like maps and atlases. I don't know about you, but those things sound pretty boring to me."
Turns out his son LOVED maps...and...as we later found out - has a Venus in the 9th house. For you math nerds - that's a 0.83% chance of getting right if I was just randomly spouting off a planet and house. Or...astrology was specific and I was good at what I do...
The bottom line is astrology will definitely explore human concepts, but it's the unique combination that makes you...well...you! And sure, there are aps that can tell you a bunch of random stuff. But the difference between me and an ap is I will help you put together all the pieces, find the release valves and help you move past your challenges and lean into your strenths.
My first reading
My first reading
When I went to my first astrologer, I had one question: What can I do to heal my relationship with my mom so we can both heal. I was amazed at the accuracy and her ability to find even the smallest details of my life, but every time I asked her what I could do to fix it, her answer was always the same - She said "Sometimes you have to let people go."
I went home angry. Angrier than I had been in a long time. I get that letting people go was a part of life, but we were talking about my mom. Someone I loved dearly, even if the past hurt me every time I thought about it. I was bound and determined that I would be smarter - better than she was and went about trying to figure out my own chart. (It doesn't get any more Leo than that, does it?) But everywhere I looked, everything I saw, didn't get me any closer to the answers I had spent a lifetime trying to figure out.
So, I asked my mom if I could pull her chart. I think she thought it was a bunch of bull so she humored me. And after pulling her chart, I saw my mom in a whole new light. Here was this fully formed person I never really knew. She had her own strengths and challenges. Her karma was hers alone. And just like I could see her in my chart, I could see me in hers. And if we’re being honest - it wasn’t very flattering. Both of us were hurting and not getting anywhere very fast. That became pretty obvious when I told my mom what I saw and it led to an epic argument, tears and another round of self loathing. But I don't think she thought astrology was bull anymore...and eventually we talked about it and started to heal.
Exploring my mothers chart has brought us closer together. In fact, we both have the relationship I think each of us has wanted. I like knowing how much she has overcome and it gives me faith that I can too.
