Astrology is one my most constant spiritual guides, second only to my breath, and I keep leaning deeper into my life long study of the stars.  Even after all of this time, it is like a gift that keeps on giving.  It never grows old, because every moment is unique and unrepeatable, and there is always a new learning or understanding emerging for me.

I have a Fire Trine in my chart which includes Jupiter (my chart ruler) in the 5th house of self expression and creativity. This makes me an extremely creative person fueled by inspiration and enthusiasm. You'll see that I have additional offerings including original paintings, self care rituals, and blogs that show the many pathways of creativity that I’ve explored to channel my self- expression.

My Journey

THE SEED

The year was 1998.

I was a senior at James Madison University, and I was experiencing a rebirth fueled by the burgeoning New Age movement, a World Religions class I spontaneously signed up for at the last minute, and a green-eyed beauty named Sue. One evening, we sat in her room in front of her computer, she asked me when I was born, typed it into the computer, and the next thing I know, my birth chart popped up in front of me.

To say I was immediately fascinated, would really be an understatement. I was beyond fascinated. I was hungry.

STARVING, actually...and hadn't even realized it...for more.

I wanted to know as much as possible. I went straight to the book store and bought the book, The Only Astrology Book You’ll Ever Need.

I read it daily, over and over again. I still have it here in my house somewhere with the stained pages falling out and scribbled notes throughout. I was like a sponge. I could not get enough.

One of the overarching themes of that time in my life was an overwhelming feeling of "why didn't any of the adults tell me about this stuff?" I just couldn't understand why things like energy healing, astrology, meditation were not a part of my childhood, or mainstream culture, in general.

The months that followed and the learnings that came from this first encounter with my birth chart were formative times that changed my path forever. My inner compass was suddenly establishing itself in the orbiting planets of our solar system, and they would become a part of my consciousness forever. Well, they were already a part of my consciousness… however, now I was relating to them with more awareness.

It's amazing how one moment of genuine truth can change the trajectory of your life forever. That single moment planted a seed that continues to blossom to this day.

Thank you Sue!
