Finding My Way To Astrology

Born in Blackpool in the UK, I studied German language & literature at Manchester University, specialising in the sexual nature of fairytales, the start of my love affair with symbolic language. I’m sure my northern roots help me bring the magical art of astrology down to earth in a way that makes it real and easy to understand.

My astrological journey began in 1989. It was my Saturn Return and I fell in love with astrology when I started studying at the Company of Astrologers in London. I passed their advanced course in Craft and Creativity in 1994. During the late 1990’s I tutored for the Company and I lectured and taught astrology in London and Brighton.

Horoscope Writer

Writing horoscopes for newspapers and magazines was my stepping stone into my career as an astrologer. I have written horoscopes and astrology features for many top newspapers and magazines in the UK and abroad, including TV TimesDaily Star, Sunday Express magazine, Chat It’s Fate, BBCi website.

If you would like to see my complete media astrology CV, you can read my profile on Linked In here. Please do contact me if you’re looking to work with a media astrologer. My horoscopes are some of the most accurate and relevant stars on the internet.

Scorpio Soul-Mate

The years from 1997-2000 were particularly eventful for me. In 1997, I celebrated buying my first home and grieved my father’s death. In 1998, I met my Scorpio soulmate, Dave, travelling in Venezuela.

I am a strong believer in synchronicity. When I met my partner on the other side of the world and discovered we lived 5 minutes away from each other in London, I knew it was meant to be.

It was the second major relationship that began on my Jupiter Return and proved to be the most important in my life. We were together for 19 years, a complete Nodal Return.

Libra Daughter

In 2000, our daughter was born one month after my mother died. It was a bitter-sweet time but throughout I was greatly supported by family and friends.

She is, without a doubt, my best creation. I love her to bits and her sparky, kind and funny nature uplifts my spirits.

Spiritual Path

A love of personal development and my spiritual path has always run alongside my fascination with astrology for most of my adult life.

In 2009, I went to India to participate in a retreat and meditation course. It was a life-changing decision and I now belong to a retreat group of like-minded souls. We explore spirituality on different levels and commit to practising meditation daily.

Next Steps

In 2023, I celebrated a big birthday - my 60th. I feel so grateful to have reached this significant age in my life. It's a joy to experience the wonder and chaos that is life on this earth. It truly is magical and awe-inspiring when you stop and consider the power of nature and the universe.

My wish for the next decade is that we all learn to truly love and respect one another. And, that we honour deeply the planet we live on, that we stop feeling disconnected and separate from the earth and the universe.

I look forward to this next chapter in my life, with so many beautiful people alongside me. I hope you will you be one of them.

Astrology Teacher

I became a teacher of astrology not long after I completed my astrology education.

Last year, in September 2023, I decided to start teaching again and I spent a wonderful week in Greece teaching at Joanna Watters' Greek Astrology Summer School.

The course was entitled 'How To Make Predictions' and I taught the most wonderful group of women. We dived in deep into the language of astrological symbolism.

In 2025, I'll be back in Greece teaching beginners astrology from September 10 to September 17. Do be in touch if you'd like to join me.

Little Blue Books

In 2017, I was approached by Hodder & Stoughton, to write their ‘Twelve Astrology Titles’ series. They were published in 2018.

The Sun sign books have been so well-received and they are a great introduction to astrology.

Clients often find me through my little blue books. You can find out more here: Books.

Work With Me

We all have our own journey in life and astrology has become deep-rooted within my own. I can’t imagine living without astrology, not only to navigate my life but help you navigate yours.

The more years I spend on this earth, the more I recognise that teaching, consulting and helping others is a true gift for everyone involved, myself included. I love my family of clients around the globe.

Astrology continues to bless my life and the stars above are a constant reminder of the interconnectedness of all things. Working with astrology helps you realise that we live in a meaningful universe.

I would love to work with you and guide you using the language of astrology. Check out my Weekly Horoscopes subscription newsletter, book in for an Astrology Reading or listen to the podcast I co-host with Christina Rodenbeck, Astrology Talk.

Dream deep, for every dream precedes the goal”
