My Story...
.: The Way In :.
Astrology found me in my early twenties. Too many wyrd things lined up to keep calling it coincidence. So, I started paying attention. Astrologers began to appear, and the right books fell into my hands. That was the beginning—not a sudden revelation, just the sense that the sky was speaking to something I already knew but could not yet name.
In spring 2009, I started a podcast called Exploring Astrology (now Constellating Cosmos). At first, I wanted to record conversations with authors whose books were changing the way I understood astrology. I figured others might want to listen in. The show now has hundreds of episodes. I’ve also worked with thousands of clients and held retreats beneath open skies around the world.
When someone asks what kind of astrology I practice, my answer is always: astrology. I prefer not to get tangled in the branches of the astrology tree; instead, I sit beneath it. I work with the base of traditional Western Astrology and Jyotish, with Hellenistic techniques in the mix. Jungian psychology and myth shape how I listen to a chart and talk about it, as well. I’m interested in what a chart reveals about a living person, not in treating it as a verdict. I use the word kosmognosis for this: knowing with the cosmos, rather than just knowing about it.
I’ve also been studying Financial Astrology and W. D. Gann for 8 years, applying some of these methods to markets. Astrology has a place there, too—in questions of timing, cycles, risk, and how the sky meets the world of money.
.: The Offering :.
I want to be useful with this knowledge. I want the old stories and the living sky to help us see what’s actually happening behind the scenes, in the actual mess of our lives. If you leave with better questions—or with one more hole to climb down through—that’s a win, from my perspective. Enchantment, context, and wonder are what I try to offer; to help you think of Astrology as living myth.
Glad you found your way here.
