I have been interested in Astrology since I was a child. I began my study of Astrology at age 12. By the time I was 14 I was giving consultations to my friends.

I continued on with my studies with many great astrologers. I spent many years as an apprentice privately with Barbara Schere, who wrote for Sedona Times magazine for many years before her passing.

In 2000 I met Penny Thorton who was Princess Di’s Astrologer and is one of the best at relationship astrologers in the world! She convinced me that I should attend college and get a degree. I followed her advice and attended NorthStar College of Astrological Studies in Scottsdale Arizona, where I was blessed to study with many great masters of Astrology including:, Darrall Harris who was known for her expert advice to gamblers in Las Vegas. Penny Thorton and Philip Sedgwick the king of Galactic Astrology with whom I studied Astrological Math, Writing for Astrology and Astronomy. Philip is one of the best writers in the field. I was also blessed to have worked with Sophia Howland who taught me so much about the psychology of mythology.

Upon graduating I worked for a sales team leader at IBM and the Revive Spa at the J.W. Marriott. I also appeared on The Learning Channel as a Relationship Expert. Currently I am writing for Spanglish Times and I am completing a book.

Amy's view of Astrology is:

Astrology is the distinct mapping of planetary placements and their unique influences at the time of birth. A Natal or Birth chart is as individual as a thumb print. Any point in time may be used to create a chart. Therefore any moment or an event comes into play. By comparing a Natal chart with the current positions of the planets, personal effects and trends in your life can be addressed.

The comparison of two natal charts is used for compatibility in business as well as intimate relationships. Members of organizations can be compared to view family, group and tribal hierarchy to gain a clear view of where individuals fit in.

Astro-locality is a specialized view of how specific places and people from those places effect you. A natal chart is cast upon the map of the world with specialized software to give clear information regarding locations.

Astrology is a language. It is a language of interrelatedness. Everything in the universe is connected. Everything in the universe is in dynamic flux. Astrology is not a causative language. It is a codification of the story of life. This story unfolds for the seeker through beautiful archetypes, mythology and illustrative metaphors.

Astrology can be called cosmic code or sidereal shorthand. Astrology is likened to the radio waves that give a plane the suggestion of where to go, yet do not actually guide the plane. Though not tangible to those on the plane, the waves are ever present. Likewise, the vibrations from the heavenly spheres are always present though not necessarily felt by all.

Astrology addresses the invisible ocean of the cosmos, giving us possibilities of choice for navigation. The messages of the spheres are received by all beings, what is done with the information is free will and choice. Therefore, astrology does not predict the future, but rather suggests a way to navigate it.

Universal movement has been recorded for more than 25,000 years and long celebrated as divine order. The journey of the Sun and Moon for the solstices and equinoxes have long been charted and honored. The Moon guides us as to the best times for planting and harvesting. The stellar configurations and placements have been the essence of ritual practices for millennia. All creatures have honored the cycles of the circles within circles as far back as history reaches. Astrology is a beautiful story with no beginning and no ending. All things and beings are frozen light. Light is consciousness. Astrologers are the interpreters and guides for the masses to reclaim their stories. Astrologers are the conveyors of the communications that create this wonderful cosmos we call home.

Frequently Asked Questions about Astrology

Can you tell me what an Astrology Consultation is?

An Astrology consultation is an interpretation of your Natal Astrology. This is based on the day, time and location of your birth. The moment you were born created a blueprint unique to you. This is a mapping of the location of the Sun, Moon and Planets in relationship to your specific location on earth. The information is in a language that an Astrologer interprets. The realms covered include the strengths and challenges of life concerning: Love, Finance, Health and Higher Knowledge. One's purpose and path are all revealed with this information. Any moment in time possesses such information, therefore all events have natal charts and can be interpreted as such.

What is the difference between Astrology and Tarot?

Astrology is a language and art form based on the science of astronomy. Astrology uses location, time and mathematical angles to produce its information. An Astrologer weaves the information together and tells the story of the chart being used in a consultation.

Tarot is a deck of cards that is shuffled by the client with an intent in mind. The Tarot consultant then lays out a spread and interprets the information contained within the icons of the numbers, symbols and images of the cards.

Both are interpretive processes. Astrology is based on an individuals birth information. Tarot is the random draw of the cards.

If I have specific questions should I do Astrology or Tarot?

Both will address specific questions. Astrology is based on information specific to the individual. Tarot is a random spread of cards. It is totally a matter of personal taste.

Will an Astrology Consultation tell my future?

Because the mapping of the movement of the planets is readily available, forecasting is a natural part of an Astrological Consultation.

Is an Astrologer the same as a psychic?

A psychic uses their higher self and mind to interpret a querent's question. An Astrologer is trained in the Language of Astrology, Astronomy and Math as well as being well versed in Mythology to interpret charts and the information they posses. Psychics can be Astrologers. Astrologers can be psychic but each is a separate form.

What if I'm adopted and don't have much information about my birth?

For Astrology it is best to have the complete information of Day, Time and Place. If Time is not available there is still quite a lot that can be interpreted. If the date is unknown it is not possible.

What if I only know the date and year I was born? There is still quite a lot of information to be shared with a date and location, however the specific moment is a potent ingredient for accuracy. Timing of future events will not be as specific without a time and the Astrologer will have use more ancient techniques to interpret the chart.

Can I bring someone else's birth information with me and do part of the reading about them?

If the other individual is consenting to your tapping into their unique information, it is fine. Often Astrology compares the information of two or more individuals to explain relationships.

If I have a specific situation or issue I want to discuss can we spend the hour doing that?

Absolutely!

Besides two people what else can be compared in an Astrology consultation?

A person can compare themselves to any event for instance, a business or timing for a trip or pick the perfect moment for signing an agreement or contract. A couple can be guided to pick the perfect moment for a wedding.

Natal Astrology the divination of your birth moment and points in time.

Tarot

Is it in the Cards for you? Would you prefer a Tarot Consultation?

I asked for my first deck of Tarot cards at the age of seven. No one in the family read the cards but that did not keep my mama from giving them to me upon my request! By the following year I was offering advice to my elementary school friends. I have read cards privately ever since. I also offers mini readings for corporate events and can be hired for special occasions and private parties.

Tarot is the ancient art of divination based on the Kabala.
