I learned astrology as a teen in the 90’s in Louisiana, where and when it was not in fashion. I’ve made this work my business for the past nine years. It has remained a compelling through-line all these years, a way of contacting the fabric of the universe, even though I don’t understand why exactly! 

I think of the astrology readings I offer as my participation in a circle of offerings. Countless others have offered me salvation and healing through their ways. What I mean is we take turns guiding each other, and this is my offering to the circle.

My spiritual ground is humility: we each have free will. Each person is the singular expert on their lives.  

I’ve had a life full of many different paid and nonpaid projects, including farming, teaching, raft guiding, abolition prison justice legal aid work, writing (always the writing), office managing, sitting long buddhist retreats, the underworld that is pregnancy, and the ego death / heart big bang / sustained agility practice that is parenting. 

Astrology articulates the psychic patterns of our lives, the felt sense of our individual and collective growth spirals. The life events are different for everyone but there are commonalities to the developmental opportunity of, say, a Pluto transit, or a Saturn aspect. That’s what we’re giving voice to. There’s freedom in being (re)located within a developmental process. To remember you’re not a noun so much as a process.

These meetings are for remembering your trust in Life, within the noise of an impoverished culture. Trust opens up deep creativity, in working with what we are being given. The goal is to leave less interested in when challenge “ends,” and more interested in how to engage it wholeheartedly. (That’s the paradox of how it ends!)

You don’t have to believe in astrology to receive benefit from it. Astrology doesn’t care! It’s a language, not a protocol. When you learn another language, you see a lot more about how your consciousness is constructed, which offers more choice in how you construct it.

• a short guided meditation

• an overview of the key themes of your birthchart

• a chance for you to ask any questions (there are no bad questions) Some people ask When is my Saturn Return? Or, Who am I romantically compatible with? Or, How do I jump out of this midlife crisis? Some people ask no questions—all of these and more are welcome. But there is no future prediction here, there is no doom! We are going for the opposite of doom!

• current transits of the outer planets 

• If the reading is for you and someone else, your partner, or your child, we don’t cover transits. Because it’s too much to do in an hour. We just cover the key pieces of each of your charts and aspects between your charts (aka the dynamics of your relationship). 
  

• I use the Placidus house system. 

• I don’t record readings but you are welcome to record. I usually cannot remember to remind you, sorry to say. You’ll need to be prepared to record on your own device.

• I don’t use astrocartography, sorry to say. And I don’t have any references for who can. Holler if you have a good rec!

• If you’re giving someone a gift certificate, make sure they can meet with me before 2pm pst Mon-Fri. If that is never possible for them, sadly, it won’t work.

I’m sure there are things I’m forgetting! It’s hard to remember all the things. Ask me anything: sf@existingtogether.com
