Welcome
Welcome to my website.
I am a consulting astrologer working from an office in
Above is a series of
images of the recent transit of Venus over the Sun. Believe it or not, a lot of
astrologers don’t pay much attention to the actual night sky! We get so used to
pulling up horoscopes on our computers and studying the symbolism as it applies
to the human psyche that sometimes we forget to go out and experience the credo,
“As Above, So Below,” astrology’s
ultimate metaphor. We forget to enjoy the heavens.
From an astrological
perspective the conjunction of Venus to the Sun is actually quite common. It
symbolizes idealism. Since idealism constructs usually work as defense
mechanisms, in working with a client with such a configuration the first thing I'd need to ask is “why?”
Sure the horoscope
suggests the “why” to me pretty powerfully, but it’s only through sitting down in a meaningful discussion with you, the client, that we will understand how this press for idealism has affected your development.
Astrology need not be
fatalistic. In fact astrologers are like the ultimate boy scouts. If there’s a
fork in the road ahead, or an opportunity to fill up the gas tank, isn’t it
best to “be prepared”? The only difference is that what astrologers map out is much
more powerful stuff to be aware of than "When do we get to the next coffee shop?"
In my horoscope Venus
is peregrine. That means Venusian behaviours, like needing to relate to others,
or express myself graciously, run wild in the horoscope. A lot of times people
with Venus peregrine are so caught up in trying to relate to others that they
lose track of the other side of Venus which pertains to feeling one's own value and building
up self-worth.
What a difference using the lens of astrology for understanding has brought to my life and to the lives of those near to me.
Now you may say to me,
“Big deal. I get insights like that about myself all the time. Better insights
even.” That would be a good thing. I would have to agree. The beauty of working
with astrological symbolism however is that as we grow and develop through such
self-understanding, we are able to refer back to the same archetype, only to
discover it’s not the same anymore.
We discover it to have developed into something more powerful and useful than it used to be. It is now
a guiding, compelling and propelling force. As Above. So Below.
