Empowering people in transition to make choices that really work
I am both an astrological consultant and a certified life coach, serving as a Personal Change Consultant for all of my clients. I have worked with over 2000 clients worldwide, since beginning my career as Senior Staff Astrologer for Astro-Phone, the first national astrological consultation service in 1974. From the start of my career, I have worked mainly with women in the midst of major life transitions, all facing a wide range of personal, professional, and spiritual challenges. My goal as a Personal Change Consultant is to help clients understand the timing and nature of change in their lives so that they can make the best decisions possible.
For six years I taught undergraduate courses on the spiritual nature of personal and social change as a member of the Adjunct Faculty of Antioch University West, choosing an astrology book by Dane
Rudhyar as a text for each course. I have lectured at national conferences* about personal and spiritual development and life transitions and I have completed over 400 client relocation analyses as Staff Astrologer for Astro*Carto*Graphy, an astrological relocation system.
Inspired and encouraged by my
mentor Dane Rudhyar, I opened Urania
Astro-Lab & Book Works in
1977, an astrology center which
disseminated Rudhyar's astrology,
philosophy and art. Dane Rudhyar
was my mentor, teacher and friend
from the mid 1970's until his
death in 1985. In 1981, under
his guidance, the Rudhyar Institute
for Transpersonal Activity (RITA)
was started, and I was RITA's
Conference Co-Ordinator for two
conferences, in 1983 and 1985.
You can now hear a number of
Rudhyar's presentations at the Rudhyar
Audio Archives,
and you can also read my article
on Dane
Rudhyar's Approach to Cycles.
As an astrological consultant,
I translate the ancient symbols
of astrology into plain English,
helping my clients understand
the current events of their lives
with added depth and meaning.
Should my clients wish, I can
continue to work with them in
an ongoing way to implement the
changes they seek, with weekly
appointments as their Life
Coach. I currently maintain
an active practice in San Francisco,
CA working with
clients worldwide, both in
person and by phone. Read the
archives of my popular column, Ask
Astro-Coach, originally
published in The
Mountain Astrologer magazine.
