About Me
As a child I wanted to be a geologist. My father said women did not become geologists. I love our planet.
Then I wanted to become a nurse. My father said respectable women did not become nurses. I stopped telling my father what I experienced or wanted. Only later in his life did he somewhat accept that the world was not as he had preciously seen it. Mother saw and accepted more. She had more confidence in me than I did at the time.
Learning and using astrology was neither acceptable nor respectable. The gift of using astrology is that the patterns of the earth, life and the universe can show in advance. (Not the events but the patterns of flow and timing.) Life is neither meaningless nor random. There is an intelligence and meaning to life. It is ok for each of us to be unique. We were not born to all walk the same paths.
In the 1980's I walked on fire, taught astrology nationally, gave readings at the Governor's Christmas Party and at the American Trail Lawyers convention, studied Edger Cayce, and more. The world that separates science, religion, humanity and mythology has lead to the turbulence, suffering, and chaos our world has today. Astronomia is a word used before that separation. To me astronomy and science is the left brain's association with logic. Astrology uses the right and left hemispheres of our brains. We need both.
Awareness and intelligence extends beyond our physical brains - to the 95% that we call unknown, subconscious, or dark. Our expanding knowledge of space, and our oceans, are an indication to me that we are ready to redefine what is possible, what is realistic, and who we can be. The year 2020 was the catalyst for my creating this website to share my search for an inclusive theory of reality.
Our planet and universe will survive even if we continue on our course. Will we? Will it be a world we want to survive in? We can thrive if we are willing to explore realities beyond what we currently believe and in which we live today. All energies have positive and negative aspects.

Our Age needs a cosmology, or theory of reality, for personal growth and evolution, social coherence and community building.
Astronomia’s Itinerary
As Astrological Ages are changing evidence is mounting.
Our world reflects this change. Unfortunately we are not reflecting the best potentials. We are not connecting the causes and effects - but that statement is linear. Linear and mechanical concepts miss our complexity and our simplicity. We are created from the dust of stars. We are interacting cells. Our relationships and organization create the world that we can see, feel, touch, taste, and smell. Ecology is the study of the relationships between living organisms, including humans, and their physical environment. Astronomia includes all of our universe.
How has Inner experiences and consciousness radically emerged from cosmic dust? How has our vibrant private awareness developed in what science presents as a purely physical universe?
A key moment in the scientific revolution was Galileo’s declaration that mathematics was to be the language of the new science, that the new science was to have a purely quantitative vocabulary. But you can’t capture consciousness in these terms, as consciousness is an essentially quality-involving phenomenon. The concept of As above, so below; as within so without seems true. The reverse also seems true. Synchronicity is an acausal principle that links coincidences through deeper meanings. The “basic stuff” of our universe is energy, which is information, which is consciousness.
In 2014 astronomers reported that the universe is 13.8 billion years old and is composed of 4.9% atomic matter, 26.6% dark matter and 68.5% dark energy. How do we apply this information?
Our Age needs a cosmology, or theory of reality, for personal, social coherence and to build community. Some scoff at this. After hundreds of years where the concepts of value and human fulfillment have been lost, we quest for meaning, purpose, sense, and ethics. Cosmology is the scientific study of the origin, evolution, and eventual fate of the universe. Humans and the cosmos mirror each other. The development, the construction of cosmology, has been called the central philosophic task of our time. Consciousness needs to be returned to our search for reality. Cosmology needs to be study of the origin, evolution, and eventual fate of the universe. Will Astronomia succeed at that gargantuan task? Only time will tell.
We can develop fascinating and stimulating spiritual and/or mental exercises to expand towards a more positive future. Will some of the shared learning here trigger your own thoughts that lead to your own contributions? I hope so.
For everything there is a season. For everything there is a reason. The year 2020 emphasized that this is the time for each of us to discover our own purpose and way to completion. The year 2021 is an invitation.
Using the analogy of weaving, the warp is our knowledge from the vast technological, scientific research and development. The weft is astrology, weaving together values and relationship in a way that weaves a sustainable humanity on Earth.

Albert Einstein: "The most beautiful and most profound emotion we can experience is the sensation of the mystical. It is the sower of all true science. So to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead. To know that which is impenetrable to us really exists, manifesting itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty which our dull faculties can comprehend only in their primitive forms-this knowledge, this feeling is at the center of true religiousness."
