THE METHOD

Two Charts, One Life

My approach is unique in using two natal charts — one for the inner life, one for the life we live in the world.

I.

The Inner Chart

The inner wiring — how the urges and energies are first put together and experienced. One’s natural orientation, before the world shapes it.

II.

The Outer Chart

The life lived in the world — the options and opportunities available as one moves forward. The ground where growth actually happens.

The Work

Two Ways Into the Chart

Aspect Figures in Astrology

40+ ways the planets dance together

Aspect Figures are geometric structures that symbolically illustrate how multiple planets' energies are interacting in a chart. Understanding that relationship, how one uses those intertwined energies, creates a more holistic result.

Two Charts, One Life

The inner world & the outer world

My approach is unique in using two natal charts – The Inner Chart, which describes the internal world, and the Outer Chart, which describes the external world we live in.

A Learning Path

New to the work? Follow the path — each step opens into deeper pages as you go.

01

The Language

An overview of how the language works, and the levels of the chart.

Astrology is a Symbolic Language

Astrology is a language made up of symbols which are placed on a mandala. I see astrology as the “Language of Life.”

The Five Levels of the Chart

Understanding the concept of levels in a chart is enlightening. Each layer is self-contained and builds upon the content of previous layers.

02

Aspect Figures

Learn to see the overall pattern of a chart, then the specific aspect figures found within it.

03

Two Charts, One Life

See how the Inner Chart and the Outer Chart work together for a more holistic reading.
