to learn about my approach, training, and philosophy for one-on-one work, read on–

Since 2012, my private practice has evolved from “straight” natal chart readings, into a syncretic approach to working with artists and creative people on focused projects and inflection points in life.

In preparation for our session, I combine the study of your astrological chart with a sample of your creative work. I have seen amazing results through this approach: everything from the successful publication of astonishing novels and poetry collections, to bellwether art exhibitions, to people getting into elite MFA programs, launching their businesses, healing from trauma, and integrating mystical and paranormal experiences that call for the total reorganization of life.

Some artists, like Tarik Hayward, have even created bodies of work directly derived from our sessions.

I would never dream of taking credit for the genius of the people I’ve consulted with & mentored– I just feel lucky to get to work with people I learn so much from, and find so profoundly inspiring.

My spiritual teacher is the Houngan & Gnostic Bishop Michel André, whom I first met in Haiti 2010.  We remain in ongoing and continuous dialogue. Michel André taught me a unique approach to the Tarot de Marseille, presided over the initiatory ceremonies that brought me into his Vodou family, and continues to mentor me in every aspect of my life– creative, spiritual, personal, and public.

I trained astrologically with Acyuta-Bhava Das, and have also been educated by brilliant poet-astrologer peers like Filip Marinovich and Stuart Krimko.  I have a good grasp of Hellenistic and Medieval Astrology and Electional work, and while these approaches do factor in my consultations, I’d refer you to one of my colleagues if what you’re looking for is more technical help with electing major life events, chart rectification, zodiacal releasing, or forensics.  My specialty is really in applying astrological insight to current creative work and dynamic life situations, and seeing to it that you produce results of the highest possible quality.

As for the personal practices that I bring to my consultation work: I am an experienced and daily Kundalini Yoga practitioner and am certified to teach in that lineage.  I work with the Thoth tarot, Dakini Oracle, and Tantric numerology, all of which factor into my consultations. 

 
 
 
 

Ariana, What a treat to work with you. I’'m amazed by how deeply and yet also lightly you went into places that needed my attention and love. It's changed things so much for me already these past months, and I'm excited now, rather than just terrified, for the initiation I've made myself without knowing i was doing it.. -Erin

Because of you I had the courage to self-publish my first poetry book this year. Thank you for giving me the strength to explore these parts of myself. -Catherine
