Astrology & Tarot Readings
Explorations of the life you’re living, through symbols that illuminate what lies beneath the surface.
At your birth, your very first breath impressed upon your soul the pattern of the cosmos. From here, your story unfolded…
Your birth chart is not a list of personality traits to be decoded and optimized, but rather is a symbolic landscape: a living constellation of stories of gifts, struggles, aspirations, all so rich with possibility.
In my work, I draw from traditional astrology, Greco-Roman mythology, archetypal symbolism, tarot, and the history of divination, to trace the threads that are most relevant to the life you’re living right now.
What Happens in a Private Reading?
We Begin with What’s Alive For You
Upon booking, you’ll fill out an intake form with insights about your current state. You are welcome to share anything with me—questions about a transitional moment, recent dreams, specific challenges you’re looking to understand more deeply, to name a few possibilities.
We Follow the Symbols
Based on your inquiry, I’ll observe your natal chart and personal cycles, and find the patterns in the cosmos that illuminate your particular story. Your chart is a map we move through together.
We Connect Sky to Earth: Your chart to your real life
Divination methods are most impactful when they can leave the screen and come to life. We’ll talk about what these symbols look like in your relationships, creative life, work, inner world, and future choices.
My Approach
My work sits at the intersection of astrology, mythology, divination, and the study of symbolic traditions. I draw deeply from archetypal thought, occult symbolism, and the humanities.
I’m interested in places where these disciplines overlap, and what becomes resonant for us when we treat them as living languages that exist inside of us, waiting to be deciphered.
Astrologically, my work is grounded in traditional techniques: I read in the whole sign house system and draw on Hellenistic principles and timing tools.
I've spent more than a decade practicing and teaching astrology and the divinatory arts. I hold an M.A. in Western Intellectual Traditions from the CUNY Graduate Center, and I'm the author of Divination For Dummies and co-author of the Celestial Bodies Oracle.

WHAT CAN A READING OFFER?
-
Renewed Clarity
Astrology, tarot, dreamwork, and divination give us multiple ways of bringing patterns into focus.
-
A Language for Your Experience
Archetypal forms exist inside of us all, and illuminate astrological and divinatory principles. Symbol, myth, and divination can give shape and vocabulary to experiences that are otherwise difficult to articulate.
-
Cosmic Perspective
Your chart can reveal patterns you’ve lived your whole life without recognizing them. A reading gives us the chance to observe these patterns with curiosity, not judgement.
-
Enchanted Inspiration
Divination does so much more than answer questions. It reconnects us to our imagination, sense of creativity, and relationship with the divine.
Who is this for?
A private reading may be especially meaningful if you are:
standing at a crossroads, or moving through a major relationship, career, or creative transition
trying to understand a recurring pattern in your life
curious about your birth chart beyond the usual "Sun, Moon, Rising"
interested in mythology, archetypes, and the deeper history of divination
longing to understand yourself with more nuance and compassion
carrying a question you haven't quite been able to answer on your own
