Can you share with us how your background as an author and poet influences your approach to mystic astrology?
They all kind of intermingle together; one influences the other, and the other influences the one. I have noticed there are times when I feel inspired and compelled through divine intervention to write poetry or stories. The process actually coincides with my astrological birth chart or the transits that I am going through. There are times when I look at my chart, checking up on it on a regular basis. When I see certain transits, they jump off the page and surround me with inspiration to create.
The explanation of my mystical approach to astrology is that when I am reading a person’s chart or looking at their transits and specific aspects, especially when they’re interested in something specific, I see things mystically. Not only do I see the mathematical, scientific, and practical aspects of astrology, but things just come through me and to me that a normal astrological reading would not actually offer. That is one of my gifts as an astrologer. It’s unique and different, and I just feel because I’m also a seer and I call myself a substitute medium, something about looking and studying a chart is so magical to me because I can just absorb messages. It helps me with my readings, and it also completely and totally influences my story writing and poetry.
When I am writing poetry and stories, I feel that my mystical talents are coming through that are present in my astrological chart. They’re just so interwoven with each other, and it gets kind of complicated sometimes because I have these gifts, and they just sort of all form into this little ball of magical intensity. I feel like I have to just get it out there by either doing charts for people or writing or being creative. When I do charts for people, I like to focus on their gifts and talents. I am very much a positive astrologer; I like to focus on the good stuff. I go for the Midheaven, the Ascendant, the Moon, and the Sun, and some of the other little planets that they may be interested in.
But I try to focus so much on what their birth talents are, and it’s interesting to find out how they light up because maybe it’s something they’ve always wanted but never thought that they could. I think that’s how astrology can influence me, helping other people because I can look and say, “Oh, you know, your spirituality and your creativity,” and spirituality and creativity are very broad topics. Not everybody is meant to be a spiritual guru, but their spirit and creativity and everything, even if you’re working for the IRS.
Your books are known for their enchanting and imaginative storytelling. How do you see mystic astrology weaving into this narrative tapestry?
“Tapestry” and “weaving” are both excellent words to encapsulate my talents as a storyteller and my over-the-top imagination. It’s the best way to describe it, really. Again, astrology always influences it because every story or poem I’ve written, at some point in the writing process, cosmic, planetary, starfield, divine, or angelic elements find their way into my narratives. Always.
In the two books I wrote, “Faeries” and “The Maiden,” they both delve into a cosmic aura and mood. They explore the moon, its phases—especially in “Faeries,” where midnight moon magic reigns—and the starry expanse. Otherworldly beings often find their way into the storylines. I firmly believe that astrology, imagination, and creativity are all cut from the same cloth, so to speak.
What type of services do you offer?
I offer a diverse range of services under the umbrella of astrology, the moon. and my inspirational writings—a kaleidoscope of offerings, if you will. These include natal chart readings, transits, and occasional relationship readings where I synthesize the charts of two individuals. I’m known for selecting exquisite wedding dates that might be a tad complex but exude extra charm. My expertise extends to predictive astrology, where one can see certain dates are more auspicious for specific endeavors than others.
Currently, one of my most popular services is hosting moon parties. These gatherings, typically attended by five or six individuals, coincide with the new moon, full moon, or eclipse periods. During these events, I provide readings for each participant, accompanied by lessons on moon magic, handouts, worksheets, and engaging discussions. The hostess, who generously provides snacks and libations, receives a complimentary reading from me—a delightful experience for all involved.
Beyond moon parties, I frequently conduct book signings at schools, libraries, bookstores and offer birthday parties for children, themed around faeries. Drawing on my extensive knowledge of elementals, I provide faerie readings that reveal each child or person’s elemental persona in a mystical manner. It’s an enchanting experience where I can delve into cosmic origins with earthly ties with a touch of mediumship.
In addition to these services, I also teach creative writing classes for adults, as well as self-publishing workshops aimed at bolstering self-esteem and fostering creativity. Whatever the interest or occasion, I am passionate about tailoring my offerings to suit the individual, embracing each opportunity with boundless enthusiasm.
In “Faeries at Midnight” and your other works, there’s a strong sense of magic and wonder. How does mystic astrology inspire or inform your portrayal of these fantastical elements?
The magic, wonder, and mystic allure of astrology exert a profound influence on the elements woven into my storytelling. I consistently explore both sides of the coin, with astrology always playing a pivotal role. As I mentioned before, it enhances my mystical perspective, as I perceive divine revelations when examining a chart. These revelations, imbued with a sense of magic and wonder, seamlessly find their way into my narratives. Indeed, the essence of magic and wonder is a dominant force in both my approach to Mystic astrology and the creation of my stories and poems. Magic and wonder permeate every aspect of astrology and creativity, shaping my identity as an astrologer. I lean heavily towards the mystical aspect rather than purely scientific or mathematical interpretations.
As both a mystic astrologist and a storyteller, how do you balance the factual elements of astrology with the creative license required for crafting captivating narratives?
Balancing can sometimes be challenging. It might appear a bit cloudy at times, but clarity eventually emerges because I firmly believe in the truth of astrology influenced by divine intervention. Whether I’m interpreting it mystically, receiving a psychic download, or sensing a spiritual aura around me, astrology remains inherently factual and practical. This pragmatic approach underscores its credibility.
With this approach, emphasizing practicality, assistance, and a grounded human perspective, I feel equipped to create compelling narratives. This includes exercising creative or poetic license, when necessary, which is essential when discussing spiritual matters or claiming divine intervention. It’s about being responsible while navigating the realms of spirituality and creativity.
Your writing often transports readers to other realms. How does mystic astrology assist you in creating these immersive experiences?
There are elements present in everybody’s chart, and even in the collective. I didn’t get to mention that sometimes I just look at Earth’s transits; we call that the collective. It is very mystical, and the realms are there. Like I said, I can look at the collective chart without focusing on anybody in particular, and the magic just oozes off the page. This is where I become a seer; I can see things and have actually secretly predicted certain events, though I’ve never told anybody because I don’t want them to think I’m crazy. You have to be cautious about what you say to certain people.
However, I feel such wisdom, magic, and practicality together, which equates to the wisdom of using mystical astrology to assist me or help people understand that there are other realms. You can look at certain aspects of a chart, so many things in astrology that are practical and truthful, leading one to know beyond a shadow of a doubt that there are other realms. Eternity is timeless, possibilities are endless, even when there are challenges. But you can visit other realms, experience other realms. We’re talking about the 5th dimension, ascending, and this is where astrology can help.
I can look at somebody’s chart or the Earth’s chart, observe the big generational planets and the smaller moving planets, and how they lead to knowledge about experiencing other realms, other dimensions, higher levels of thinking, chakras, energy fields extending into the star field, visiting other beings, and so forth. It’s endless, absolutely endless, and fascinating. I wish more people would just trust and believe because there are endless star fields out there; the universe has no end. There are so many realms and dimensions, spirit guides, angelic beings. We even have elementals that are very close to the earth realm,metaphysically—it’s unbelievably incredible.
I love talking about it, and yes, I am also writing a book titled “Time is on Your Side: How to Reawaken and Manifest Your Long-Forgotten Childhood Dreams.” It’s geared toward aging women like myself, encouraging them to revisit their childhood dreams through exercises, meditations, and, essentially, through magic. I can provide concrete practical examples; this is what I did. I revisited my childhood dreams, and today, they have come true in ways I could never have imagined. Obviously, there are limitations, but there are ways to find fulfillment in those original dreams.
One of the main points I’m trying to convey is that time is eternal, and you can go back and visit the past as a setup for your present and future. Time is on your side, and you can do things in the past, bring them forward—I am living proof of this.
