For me Astrology is both a science and an form of art. My interest in astrology has been life long. I grew up in the midwest with lovingly pragmatic parents who both worked in education and academia. They’ve generously supported my interest in the Esoteric Arts while offering “a healthy dose” of skeptical analysis. This encouraged me to pursue my occult interests while remaining grounded in reason. Thus, I endeavor to bring critical thinking and utilize a researcher’s perspective in my work, with the goal of accumulating empirical evidence, in an esoteric field of study. I find doing this extra “homework”, allows me to help clients make the link for themselves between the profound and the practical.
This “grounded on Earth” approach helps me work as a translator between the client and the cosmos, allowing me to convey the metaphysical through metaphor, translate arcane language into accessible dialogue, and remove fear around astrology by converting it into fun — humor helps healing and fosters greater understanding. I help clients find the “of course” in the “occult” by transforming confusion into clarity, and by securing surreal concepts into concrete reality. I hope to offer a ladder to help clients reach the stars.
Astrological Training: Mentored and certified by Heidi Rose Robbins’ mentorship program, I am a immensely proud to be a member of her Astrology team starting in 2021. I also studied with with The Lighted House School of Esoteric Studies: Founded by Meire Santos & Bruna Maia. Particular areas of interest within astrological studies include: Psychological Astrology, Pagan, Indigenous, and Non-European Cosmology, Feminist & Gender-Fluid Archetypal Astrology. Additional metaphysical, scientific, and historical studies include: Historical Folk Magic (Celtic, Norse, Indo-European & Non-European traditions), Global Mythology, and Hoodoo-Voodoo Practices & Traditions, under Lala Intuari & Nefertiti Moor. My favorite fields of the “hard sciences” include: Astronomy, Astrophysics, Quantum and Particle Physics. I am especially inspired by the works of Roger Penrose, Rupert Sheldrake, and the late Stephen Hawking.
My personal Astrology - I am a Jupiter-in-Pisces Artistic Creator. My creative and artistic background and career as a writer, performer, director, has been instrumental in my creating an empathetic spaace for my clients, to feel seen not judged. And my personal artistic work connects me with the courage it takes to allow oneself to be witnessed, during an astrological reading. My actingn work has been seen on Broadway & Off Broadway, in several television series, and on the silver screen working with the Coen brothers. My literary work is repped by CAA and Heroes anad Villians Entertainment, where my writing specializes in Scorpio/8th house themes… In all my work, astrological and artistic - I offer Cancerian-esque creative encouragement allowing me to “build a lighted house” (the esoteric soul phrase for Cancer) for my clients, and create a safe atmosphere for increased self awareness.
I am honored to share my astological practice with so many people, as it has directly helped me achieve greater awarness and empathy for myself and others. It has aided my ability to process and integrate grief and trauma, supported my resilience, and helped to restore my faith. There is no ceiling to the amount of insight one can gain from studying and working with Astrology. It offers a lifelong, limitless supply of inspiration, and opportunity for greater self and collective awareness.

About Caitlin…
-
Astrology is where the mathematical intersects the artistic…
Where the scientific meets the spiritual…
And where the ordinary can befriend the extraordinary.
Astrology teaches us how to connect our inner and outer awareness into one “unified field theory of self” within in our collective existence. Through Astrology we learn how to meet, reintroduce, and integrate aspects of our inner cosmos with the outer universe.
Additional Support
The fields of Astrology and Psychology are increasingly more intwined. Psychology programs throughout the United States, particularly, those which employ the study of Jungian Archetypes, are including Astrology as a complimentary subject and filed of study. The two fields of study share a great deal in common and compliment each other well, both in terms of subject matter and by their respective commitment to examine the human experience from a multi-layered perspective. Combining the two fields together offers enhanced support.
