INITIATING CURIOSITY:Fate or Free will?

My interest in astrology began during childhood as a life-long curiosity around the question of fate versus free will. As an autistic woman, astrology was also a community and a special interest that offered me a way to better understand human psychology, relationships and development.

When I began practicing astrology in 2014, astrology was experiencing a cultural rennaissance. I believe that humans are searching for new ways to connect and find purpose as a response to the ways in which capitalism has fractured identity and community. Unfortunately, astrology has also been co-opted as a tool of capitalism and the new-age spiritual market. So I shifted my practice to focus less on readings and more towards exploratory writing and experiential spaces wherein individuals can meet their own inner questions rather than the heirarchical relationship of having an “expert” tell them.

Currently, I write an astrology blog and am focusing on holding spaces for gatherings where folks can connect to the energies of the planetary consciousness in a way that feels authentic and meaningful for them.
