About Us
My journey with astrology began in the early seventies out of a need for personal grounding ,clarity and a practical belief system.
I studied the writing of C.C. Zain, Dane Rudhyar ,the Rosicrucians and almost anything I could find during that time. I eventually lightened up to a more contemporary humanistic approach which led me to a multitude of classes and workshops. My strongest influence comes from the structured teachings of “Morin de Villefranche”, under the tutelage of Robert Corre’s school “Forum on Astrology”. This consisted of several years of study of Morin’s master work “Astrologia Gallica”(as taught by Zoltan Mason).
Along the way I received a BA from Point Park University and spent over 30 years working for Fairfax County Schools in various capacities .from film inspector ,to communication specialist in digital phones ,security and fire alarm systems. This environment provided fertile ground for my astrology practice. Over the years I have built a loyal clientele that allows me the flexibility to pursue my personal astrological passions as well as provide quality consulting services.
I am presently practicing out ofWoodbridge Virginia offering lectures ,presentations, mentoring and a myriad of ever expanding services . Most of all, by propagating the multitude of uses astrology offers as a (universal) tool that enhances everyday life as well as in specialized applications we (society) may realize it’s role as a science in art of human realization.
