Readings & Courses

Reducing astrology to the horoscope of twelve signs is like reducing music advertising jingles. Yet this is how so many people understand astrology. It has had really bad PR. Storied as a’belief’ that divides humans into twelve personality teams. It’s this simplistic misunderstanding of astrology which has resulted in it being under explored as a therapeutic modality. Yet, in the past decade or so, this is shifting as more & more people are drawn to finding out what astrology really is & how it might help them.

Astrology, explored fully, is an amazing tool for raising consciousness, understanding oneself & others, exploring our shadow & healing from the wounding that keeps us playing small. As we explore the archetypes described in the astrological system, we learn to identify them & connect with them emotionally, in ourselves & others. This can have a profound effect on how we perceive ourselves as we live our lives.

In these learning groups I introduce people to this beautiful, ancient system in a way that awakens them to their connection with the archetypes. I am interested in helping people to uncover what astrology can mean in their life. How it can help re-enchant, re-inspire & re-invent them. In these foundational groups we are doing three things together. First, we are learning the astrological language. Exploring the body of knowledge about the signs, planets, houses & aspects. We are learning to ‘speak astrology’. Second, we are discovering our unique connection with this system. Learning to tune in & trust our intuitions about the archetypes. As our intellectual awareness of them grows, so does our nonverbal felt sense of them & the imagery this may stimulate in us via our dreams, body sensations & feelings. Thirdly, when we come together as a group to engage with these symbols, we are evoking something bigger than ourselves & who we currently believe ourselves to be. We are calling in something connected to the great mystery. Something that connects us all.

Learning about astrology in a full way – mind, heart & body – is a form of therapy. In a group it becomes powerful group therapy & so I keep the groups small to allow for the space & safety necessary for depth of experience. If you feel drawn to this I very much look forward to exploring this ancient system & your awareness of the inner cosmos with you.
