astrology

Astrology tracks celestial movements with earthly events and experiences. It is a study of Time and cycles. It’s an invitation to meet yourself in context of a particular cycle and wider stories. It supports you in accepting where in life you’re experiencing a Spring versus Winter, where you’re in a phase of growth and accumulation versus introspection, releasing and deepening, so you can see and feel how best to care for yourself in this unique moment, by leaning into the gifts and evolutionary opportunities of each season.

Astrology brings us back into our bodies and into the cyclical, seasonal consciousness that lives there. Cyclical consciousness helps us recover energy we would have otherwise lost fighting upstream in attempts to be some-one, some-where or some-time else. In this way, astrology can help create more spaciousness in our nervous systems by allowing ourselves to be in our own core rhythms, which then makes us more available to recognize, receive, respond to and digest what is truly meant for us.

Astrology strengthens our perception of even more kinds of Time beyond just linear and cyclical, which we already instinctually and experientially know. Uranus can relate us to the “lightning bolt of Sudden Time” and Time outside of Time, Neptune to Womb-Time and No-Time* … And by acknowledging these different forms of Time, we have a way to perceive and find richness within more of our own lived experiences.

In addition to a multiplicity of Times, astrology reflects the multiplicity of Places that exist within us. The places of Aries, Taurus, Gemini and so on in our birth charts each have their own sentience, creative contributions and ways of re-sourcing our systems.

My practice of astrology is non-pathological and supports personal transformation and co-liberation. It’s about cultivating a more friendly relationship to all Times and Places inside of us, so that we can live more freely, wisely, generously and response-ably.
