With a compassionate, solutions-based framework – less woo, more what to do – I teach my clients to actively manage their charts so they can make astrology work for them every day – not just when they book me for a session. My astrology sessions are broadly based on a psychological and evolutionary approach to the personality, relationships, creativity and crisis. Long before life-coaching was even a thing, this is how I naturally began working with my clients, teaching them to understand the energy of their natal charts and transits from an empowered perspective.

Thanks to my training and grounding in both social work and empathic education, my astrology clients feel safer and smarter after we’ve worked together. My other area of expertise is sexuality, and a large part of my client work is dedicated to analyzing sexual energy in the chart, identifying blocks, shame and fear – and how to heal and release them. Pleasure is fundamentally a healing force and when I counsel clients, I aim to help them find their own center of pleasure again using their natal chart and transits.

I was a writer before I was an astrologer, and writing about astrology led to my professional counseling practice. I became a practicing astrologer after the release of my first astrology book, Surviving Saturn’s Return: Overcoming the Most Tumultuous Time of Your Life, in 2004. Soon after, I began writing horoscopes for TEEN VOGUE, and spent 15 years as the resident astrologer at ELLE UK with my cosmic co-conspirator – the other half of the Saturn Sisters. In 2015, LOFT, the clothing brand, asked us to join their team. I’ve written about astrology for astrology.com, tarot.com, WELL+GOOD, and too many others to count.

My next book, SEX AND YOUR STARS: A SEXOLOGIST’S GUIDE TO THE EROTIC ENERGY OF THE ZODIAC, will be published by Sounds True in 2024. My new horoscope venture can be accessed via my Substack Pleasure Centers, where I write a monthly column called On the Erotic Ecliptic. (Interested in hiring me to write for your site? Reach out!

The theme that continually emerges in my writing about astrology and my client work is this: we are in a collective process of decolonizing, decarbonizing, and purging our psyches of the ravages of patriarchy and capitalism. This is happening simultaneously “out there” and “in here” in our own individual souls. I aim to help people dismantle these systems in their unconscious minds as we dismantle them collectively.

I initially studied what we broadly call “Modern Astrology” but have updated my training with an immersion in traditional concepts and techniques that have come to dominate astrological practice in the last decade or so. I use the outer planets in my calculations and generally cast first with a Placidus chart, but consult Whole Sign charts as well.

In my decades of work with clients, I have found that paying the closest attention to outer planet transits to vulnerable inner planets tells us the most about what a client is feeling and experiencing. As an expert in the Saturn Return transition and author of the first-ever book about this transit, I’ve counseled thousands of clients approaching this phase (in their mid-to-late twenties and mid-to-late fifties) and helped them navigate the challenges and rewards of this remarkable life phase. I also specialize in analyzing relationships and sexuality in the natal chart and love/sex compatibility charts.
