A Message from Deborah

From early on, I longed to understand the nature of the invisible realms, of all that we can’t explain with our fine-tuned, logical human brains. When I started studying astrology in the 1970s, I realized I’d found a language that could create a bridge between the physical and the metaphysical worlds. As I explored the stories embedded in charts, I realized I could help people find their voice, encourage them to rise more fully into the essence of their soul story.

I should mention that in addition to my craving for more and more awareness of the nature of the cosmos, I am deeply in love with stories. This fascination with language and the spell we can cast when we choose our words with care and depth led me to a degree in English, to teaching writing in the public schools and by the time I was 33, to a career in publishing.

I was searching for words that could capture the other-worldly messages we receive from the invisible realms. I’ve studied countless metaphysical languages and continue returning to astrology as the most accurate and deep tool for unveiling the multi-dimensional journey of the soul.

When I first encountered it back in the ‘70s, the astrological language was still caught in the grip of Medieval concepts, pretty limited to stereotypes with a lot of dire and dreadful descriptions of most of the characters. As I continued to seek more depth, I studied with wise mentors who taught me how to explore the vast range of the astrological language. I learned that astrological awareness transcends dimensions and lifetimes. And I learned how to look for the high notes of the chart before I sought out the shadows.

I have devoted my work to helping others move away from the flat stereotypes and the anxiety-generating language still prevalent in so much astro-babble. I hope to encourage astro-speak that allows for the stellar range of meaning in each planet, sign and house before we go looking for their lower notes. I long for us to use this language with more elevated consciousness as we look into the complexities of a soul path.

A Little More History

My love of language and art drew me, first into teaching writing, and then into the publishing world for 20 years, editing and designing books and magazines.

And alongside that more ‘traditional’ career, I continued to explore the mysteries that I first experienced as a young child, engaging with invisible beings, connecting to the natural world in ways others couldn’t understand, aware of the light that is literally creating everything from within. So in 2003, after years of metaphysical and astrological study and mentoring, I left the publishing world behind and began reading charts and teaching astrology classes. Over the decades I’ve built an international clientele and have taught astrology to all levels of students.

I’m a grateful mom. I have a big complicated family. I have all sorts of colorful and delightful friends. I love the animal companions who so deeply enrich my heart and I’ve traveled to many wild and mysterious places. I love the messy, beautiful, challenging and outrageously fascinating world.

I would be honored to work with you, to help you rise into your sense of belonging, your sense of purpose, to claim your remarkably powerful and essential voice.
