Compass Astrology, Local Space and AstroMapping
Your birth chart describes who you are. Where you live, and how you are oriented within it, decides how that chart is lived. I teach and practise the astrology of place: how the planets fall around you on the ground, in your home, and across the world, and what you can do about it.
New this September: The Living Compass
The Living Compass: A Practitioner’s Guide to Local Space Astrology is a complete guide to directional astrology. It takes you from the origins of Local Space through casting and reading your own AstroCompass lines, into altitude, remediation, and the living landscape around you.
Available on Amazon from mid September 2026. Published by Silverdisc Publications and launched at UAC 2026 in Chicago.

About
I am an astrologer, educator and researcher based in Nova Scotia. I hold a BA in East West Astrology from Kepler College and a Postgraduate Certificate in Cultural Astronomy and Astrology from the University of Wales, and I am currently a doctoral student in consciousness studies at CIHS. I have been a Reiki Master since 1996 and trained in BioGeometry with the Vesica Institute. Compass Astrology grew out of all of these: a way of reading the sky that keeps your feet on the ground.
