astrology for parents

raising children and tending wholeness with the cycles & seasons of Life

You have a huge heart.  You’re passionate, sensitive and prioritize a deep listening for and attending to what makes Life and Love more possible for more beings on Earth, especially for our children.

You’re committed to showing up for your kids — and to showing up for your own sense of aliveness and integrity.

Likewise, you’re devoted to making a meaningful contribution to the world — and to keep turning inward and tending a rich inner life.

You know that these orientations aren’t inherently pitted against each other — ie, you know that taking time for yourself and taking care of yourself benefits everyone in your family and it benefits the world — but you still feel like a good portion of your creative energies are spent juggling everyone’s needs including your own, navigating “either/or” dilemmas, and feeling drained by disappointment when your planned solo time was interrupted by a child’s cold or any other number of things.  

You want to fill your cup at a foundational level, so that even at the end of a day where there’s little time for “you” there’s still the spiritual nourishment of feeling part of an animate world, held together in rhythm and season, and (at least more and more often) in the right place, at the right time.

So if the inner promptings of your soul seem to pull you beyond the horizons of your currently perceived roles and responsibilities of being a parent or a change-maker in the world, in a way that feels like an internal conflict … then let’s allow this moment to challenge, alchemize and/or expand what we “know” about what it means to “show up” as a parent or a change-maker. Let this moment initiate us into a kinder perspective, one that’s more tolerant of paradox and complexity.

Why Astrology for parents?

You’re already blazing your own trail as a parent. You’re making more and more space for the path to have its own kind of intelligence, responding to you with each step you take.  In other words, it’s becoming more un-scripted and emergent from your capacity to be in curious conversation with life and others, and with the evolving desires and expressions of yours and your child’s authentic nature.

But — the side effect of this re-wilding, is that the old markers of measuring “success” as a parent don’t resonate anymore.  So … when you do encounter self-doubt, it can feel overwhelming to not have an external reference point to re-calibrate to, or some external permission slip that says yes keep going, yes let this moment deepen you further into your instinctual and multi-dimensional intelligence.

Astrology is not this “external” authority that tells you what is right for you.  It is a way to make and deepen connections with your wider nature and a wider system of support and resourcing, so that you can come back into resonance with your core and your agency.

I don’t use astrology to give definitive answers or precise predictions of what’ll happen in the outer realm. Connecting with the skies and the stories therein helps me to shape questions that actually feel life-affirming and perspective-shifting to walk with, liberating your inner listening and visioning capacity from those questions we tend to ask from place of separation, shame and scarcity.

There is a place and a need for your authentic way of parenting. You belong here. Your unique child belongs here.
