Magic Eye
In this time of Uranus in Gemini, allow the winds of change to stir in you a sense of perceptual flexibility, collaborative spirit & dynamic inner artistry with the living field and symbols of Astrology
Every creature of the Zodiac sees something different about the situation in front of you.
Each animal (i.e. astrological symbol, planet or aspect pattern) perceives through its own unique intelligence. Through the lens of its own distinct agendas, set of priorities, memories, skills, strengths and vulnerabilities …
Hungers and desires.
Each creature lives in a slightly (or wildly) different world, organized and enlivened by its own particular logic and language.
Some of whom are recognized and given resource by our current ways of civilization. And, needless to say, some of whom are not.
There are well-tended habitats for some creatures, and there is significant or complete habitat loss for others.
There are alliances and companionships between these animals, as well as conflict and open tension systems.
The animal that we most need, the one who offers both you and us the most Life-enhancing perspective in this Now moment, the animal whose inclusion could bring surprising release to stuck-ness, support coherence, power-sharing, balance, integration, transformation or resource-circulation within the system … changes all the time.
In other words,
there is no single creature who reigns supreme with the correct story.
The un-tameable wildness and weirdness of our inner multiplicity is a sacred guardianship from continuing to internalize and externalize supremacies.
Being able to take just one step at a time, listening for what archetypal creature is offering the next Life- and Earth-honoring perceptual shift/step forward, involves dynamic story-tracking.
It involves developing the ability to track what’s happening, arising and moving within your own subtle-multi-sensorial experience in context of this place, this moment in time, this relationship, this crossroad of choices and forces.
the vitality of your internal ecosystem depends on attending to and cultivating empathy for each creature, as well as liberating your perception from being stuck inside any single one of them
Magic Eye Readings are designed to cultivate these relational and shape-shifting skills through play and pleasure.
We’ll spend time together beneath your natal Sky, engaging in deep listening through astrology, myth, the felt-sense, Color, art-making, writing, movement, ceremony and ritual. We’ll practice approaching what creatures come forward, from a place of grounded Core Self-connection, self-regard, open-mindedness and availability to being surprised.

What does this creature want?
What do they instinctively want to do?
the word Zodiac means
“Circle of Animals”
Connecting to the stars can take us up and out of our own embodied experiences, into more static, abstract categorizations of ourselves or prescriptions for what we should do.
But it doesn’t have to be just that.
Embodied or experiential astrology is an opportunity to keep rooting ourselves into place and connecting to instinct, relationality and creativity, beginning at the foundational level of creaturely perception.
The intention here is to support the weaving and unweaving of perspectives that exist within us, so that more Life can have the opportunity to emerge, wiggle, shake, shed, purr, eat, drink, mate, mature, play, renew and enrich the world with their own wisdom and quirky aliveness.
Now is the time to cultivate this internal diversity as a source of resilience, as an act of re-membering and as a return to Love.
Although the pattern of your birth chart may appear to stay the same, your inner Sky is always teeming with Life and can be in an infinitely generous conversation between the human and the animal.
The intention of this work
is to align with and support some key invitations of Uranus in Gemini, including:
differentiating your unique perspective from the minds closest to you,
strengthening your connection to center while cultivating a perceptual-flexibility so that you can shape-shift with your mirror neurons through the many story spaces around you as an adventure in LOVE and radical care,
dropping into your sensual body and developing a synesthetic library of associations that deepen your holographic listening capacities and dreaming-body as a portal into Sky and Myth,
and empowering a subtle inner artistry, creativity and sense of play with the living field and symbols of Astrology.
FAQs
What are the sessions like?
Upon signing up, you’ll receive a link to schedule three separate 60-minute sessions. During those sessions, we’ll orient to the Sky of your birth (i.e. your birth chart) and then the Sky of the present moment (transits) and any other Skies (secondary progressions, solar return chart) as they become relevant during our conversation. I’ll come to the session having touched base with all of these Skies, but will really be listening and attuning to you and the field to see where we are.
We’ll have a conversation about what’s coming up in your life, any creative intentions, questions, hopes, challenges, dilemmas. From there, we can explore or experiment with ways to step into the chart more, listen and collaborate with the astrology and archetypal creatures of the Zodiac. This could be through connecting to Color, through felt-sense inquiry, flower essence therapy, art-making, movement, designing ceremony for a particular life event or threshold (honoring a birthday, preparing for transition into parenthood, etc).
What do I need to sign up?
Your Birth Information
When you sign up, you’ll receive a form to fill out your exact birth date, time and location. This information is kept private and only used to pull up your birth chart.
A Foundation of Self-Care
These sessions are meant to be joy and play based sources of Self-discovery, renewal, growth and connection. They are not psychotherapy nor a substitute for psychotherapy. However, since we may be connecting to the felt-sense and the body, and the body is a beautiful storehouse of memory, emotion, impulse, instinct, sensation — we know that it sometimes can bring us unexpected places. Participants are required to come with a current self-care practice and familiarity with their nervous system. While our connection with each other and with the astrological field can be richly resourcing, participants are ultimately expected to be responsible for their own wellbeing and what they need to do to take care of themselves.
A Willingness to Play!
Play doesn’t always or often come easily in relationship to hard things and tough times. But, often, it is exactly what we need to re-cognize — or see anew — ourselves, each other and the situation at hand.
What level of astrological fluency do I need to participate?
Astrology prerequisites
Fundamentals are helpful (signs, planets, houses, aspects). However if you don’t have any or very minimal astrology background, that’s okay too because your astrology lives within you! While I’ll orient you to the basics of the chart, offering context and story — this work is designed to offer ways for you to directly experience and discover this living wisdom through your own body, mind and imagination, while inside of a grounded container and guided practice.
Art & Myth prerequisites
No prior experience with art or myth is needed! Come with a willingness to let play and embodied participation be a source of wisdom and insight. Leave with a deeper relationship with yourself, your body and the living cosmos.
