My story
Versatile and energetic, I've actualized a variety of interests and accomplishments. I love to travel and see new things. I love to study and learn. And I love to help people to begin to understand themselves.
As a Leo, with Moon in Pisces and Gemini rising, I love to teach, I love variety, and I have been blessed with an interesting life
In the1960s, Extended journeys to places that were quite foreign to me opened my mind to various cultural practices and beliefs. I experienced visits to many wondrous monuments and shrines which included the great pyramid in Egypt, the tombs of the several pharoahs, including King Tut's tomb, Delphi, the Parthenon and many more. I visited churches, mosques, and museums.
After returning to California, I began a very serious study yoga and meditatation and while, at first, I had free entry to concerts at the Avalon Ballroom that had headliners like the Big Brother and Holding Company, Moby Grape, Jefferson Airplane and many many more. I attended the "Great Human Be-In" in Golden Gate park in 1967. A a real desire to find myself, my soul, my connection to spirit, led me away from pop themes into a strong path toward healing myself. Yoga was the main thread, astrology was a part of this journey.
In 1968 I enrolled in astrology classes at the Metaphysical Bookstore in San Francisco, taught by Milo Kovar. there I loearned to cast charts using an ephemeris and tables of houses. Astrology piqued my interest, because in my travels I sometimes encountered people in far-away places who seemed so much like people I knew in San Francisco that I wondered if astrology had a clue to the different "types" of people, who miles and cultures apart, seemed quite alike.
In 1969, I became the first (hatha) Yoga teacher to establish yoga classes at my cabin in Mt. Shasta, California, at City Park, by the headwaters of the Sacramento River. I continued sharing yoga, part time, for over 50 years in spas, for rec departments, and in community college programs and still have a personal practice.
My hands like to be busy, too. Crafts and sewing were part of my youth. I learned to work with stained glass and formed my "cottage business" in the 1970s, creating lampshades and windows for dozens of homes in northern California. The stained glass lampshades that I created were featured at the deYoung Museum gift shop during the Tiffany Exposition in 1981. In the years afterward, I authored over a dozen stained glass pattern books for Dover Publications, still available at Amazon.com and other booksellers.
While working on my first pattern book, I decided to go back to complete what I had dropped out of years before. I enrolled in college to earn my degree and teaching credentials. I earned both B.A. and M.A. in anthopology as well as teaching credentials for K-High School as well as community college credentials for Anthropology and Art. I have taught in schools as a regular classroom teacher as well as well as adjunct professor.
When it comes to relating the astrological chart to the person, I often see opportunities and potentials that someone with a more conventional or limited background might miss. My long study of astrology, spanning more than five decades, gives me a longitudinal view of what and how the transits may play out.
In reading a chart, I may offer practical workable strategies, based on the bright promise inherent in your natal blueprint. This is the hallmark of my teaching, mentoring and consulting .

The Queen of Sciences of the ancients, astrology was the the mother of astronomy. The moving skies have communicated to seers from time immemorial in every culture. Astrologers were mathematicians and scientists.
