I've drawn up charts and offered readings to family and friends since the 1960s.    I've been an adjunct professor of anthropology, a grammar school and junior high school teacher, and I've taught yoga, tap dance, stained glass, and more as a community educator.  As a glass artist, I authored over a dozen stained glass pattern books (to see my glass work click here) and I bring my talent for seeing patterns into my astrological chart readings.  Life experience as teacher, wife, mother, grandmother, traveler and artist supports my ability to assist clients to transform and grow spiritually and practically - I provide strategies that are practical and workable!
Historically, astrologers were our first astronomers, astrology was an honored and respected art and science practiced by emperors, kings, mathematicians and popes, even a president or two.  The planetary archetypes inspired painters, sculptors and other visual artists.  Ancient architectural projects have built-in astrological symbolism.  In literature, Chaucer, Shakespeare, and Homer, among others, separated by culture and time,  displayed astrological sophistication in their writings.  Astrology was the psychology of the ancients.  If not a therapy, it certainly gave writers a common vocabulary with which to describe human personalities. 

"Astrology represents the summation of all the psychological knowledge of antiquity." C.G. Jung
