My Approach

As an astrologer, I’m an interpreter of symbols and a maker of meaning. My role is to help you remember that your relationship with the cosmos is intrinsic, accessible and unwavering.

My practice is rooted in traditional Hellenistic astrology and my approach bridges worlds—the archetypal and the personal, the symbolic and the tangible, the eternal and the fleeting. I focus on making astrology relevant to you in the here and now. As a translator between you and your chart, I draw on my education, lived experience and intuition, ancient mythology and even pop culture to reveal meaning and provide clarity during our sessions.

Most importantly, readings with me are conversational and practical. We’ll untangle your curiosities and concerns together.

My Education

The most significant astrological education I’ve received has been under Adam Elenbaas of Nightlight Astrology. Having completed all three years of his natal astrology program, I’ve obtained a Diploma in Astrological Studies from the school. I’ve also completed Nightlight’s horary astrology course and numerous master classes, and continue to study with Adam. I now also serve as the Course Director for the school’s second year program.

Other influential teachers have been Chris Brennan, through The Hellenistic Astrology Course and The Astrology Podcast, and Claire Gallagher, whose approach to astrology initiated me back into my studies after several years away.

Some other astrologers who I continue to learn from through their writing, classes, and other offerings include Demetra George, Diana Rose Harper, Kira Ryberg, Maeg Keane, and Chani Nicholas, to name just a few.

About Me

I grew up in a family where the Jyotish astrologer was one of the first people you called upon the birth of a baby. But like many before me, my love of astrology truly began as a kid sitting on the floor of a bookstore, pouring over that sun sign astrology classic, The Secret Language of Birthdays. I’ve been studying and practicing astrology ever since.

When I’m not reading charts, you’ll find me spending time with my husband and two kids, enjoying an audiobook on a very long walk, lifting kettlebells in her living room, or learning multiple languages at a time on Duolingo (currently French, German, Irish and Latin).

“If astrology does its job, it offers a mirror in which we see both our best selves and our growth edges.”

FAQ

  • My practice is rooted in Hellenistic astrology, an ancient tradition that flourished in the Mediterranean region from roughly the first century BCE until the seventh century CE. With the broader availability of translated texts today, this approach is experiencing a resurgence. I'm personally drawn to its structured framework, which allows me to be both methodical and creative in chart interpretation.

    That said, in specific contexts, I do incorporate components outside the Hellenistic tradition. For example, I use outer planets in natal chart readings if there are close aspects or if an outer is transiting a personal planet.

  • Earthlight is the sunlight that reflects off the Earth's surface back out into space. It can sometimes be seen softly illuminating the dark side of a crescent Moon.

    This concept mirrors my experience of astrology: as earthly, earthbound beings, we gaze out into the cosmos, and though subtle at first, we see ourselves reflected back.

    Plus, I like that the name nods to my earth- and fire-heavy chart.

  • Since we're all sharing...

    In my natal chart, the Sun is in Aries, the Moon is in Taurus, and the Ascendant is in Virgo.

Land Acknowledgement

I live and work in T'karonto, now known as Toronto. In Kanien’kéha (Mohawk), T’karonto means “where there are trees standing in the water.” I acknowledge that this city exists on colonized ground and that this land is the home and traditional territory of the Anishinaabe (including the Mississaugas of the Credit), Haudenosaunee, and Huron-Wendat peoples. Today, it’s also home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples.
