I have dabbled with astrology most of my life, but became a serious student in early 2024. I am studying a variety of approaches including evolutionary, archetypal, modern, and Hellenistic astrology.
I originally became interested in astrology due to struggling in relationships and wondering about karma and how to heal it. I found Jeffrey Wolf Green's Pluto books to be invaluable in understanding what modern psychology would call "attachment issues". (I like psychology too...I like learning in general).
I find astrology to be incredibly useful, and wild in its implications as to how interconnected everything really is. It goes completely against a modern materialist view of the nature of reality, which I find fascinating.
Astrology is a mythical language, and it can be used to say many different things. My bias is toward astrological perspectives that are empowering and offer practical psychological insight, within a spiritual framework that is open enough to accommodate a plurality of belief systems. I don't teach or share from one particular tradition, but rather I want to share whatever I have found value in.
