There are many astrology enthusiasts on the Internet and out in the world, but few actual astrologers and truly knowledgeable practitioners of the arcane arts. I am honored to be one of a small group of authentic professional astrologers working in Canada. I am an experienced, ethical practitioner of the mystic arcane arts and a natural intuitive empath who provides an honest and straight-forward experience. Beyond my sessions with the seekers who come to see me I also share my astrological and spiritual knowledge, experience and observations on my podcast, The Sky Now - An Astrology Podcast, which can be found on Apple and Spotify, as well as other platforms. Astrology is of course all about interpreting charts and with decades of learning and experience I am adept at both interpreting Natal Charts and applying current planetary transits to them. I began studying natal charts and planetary workings when I was in my teens in the 1970's. I have been utilizing the ancient mystic arts of astrology and tarot to guide an eclectic mix of clients in Mile End, Le Plateau and the Greater Montreal region at my current Avenue du Parc studio location for over 15 years now. I practice astrology and tarot from a free will/free choice perspective and philosophy. My unique blend of free will Western astrology, intuitive interpretations of the tarot and spirituality speaks to a wide range of individuals no matter where they may be in their journey. My own personal spiritual path is traditional pre-Christian European and British pagan, based in energy, the stars, nature and elemental magick. I believe each of us has a sacred spiritual duty to leave the world in better shape than it was in when we were born.
I was born in Ottawa, but I spent much of my early life in Toronto and at my maternal grandfather's summer waterfront home in the Ontario countryside. I first became interested in astrology at age 12 when I was introduced to a female astrologer from Great Britain who accompanied her reporter friend to meet with me in hospital after I had been gravely injured in an explosion perpetrated by a sociopath engaged in an act of group bullying. I spent a year in the hospital recovering from my extensive and life-altering injuries. I was heavily dosed with morphine for weeks. I underwent a dozen difficult surgeries. During the visit by the two women the astrologer asked me if she could work up my chart and naturally curious in nature (Gemini Moon, as it turned out) I agreed. When she returned with my natal chart she spent a good deal of time enlightening me on the workings of an astrology chart. I was fascinated with her explanations and it was during that conversation that my lifelong passion for astrology truly began. During our lengthy discussion the astrologer went on to forecast that the second part of my life would be far better than the first and indeed this prognostication did come to pass, though not in the time frame and manner I initially imagined it would.
On my 16th birthday I went out gift shopping for myself and bought my first guitar (an Ibanez lefty acoustic) and my first Rider Waite Smith tarot deck (yes, you can buy your own tarot cards). Music, theater and writing held much of my focus in my high school and university years but I maintained a strong interest in studying the mystic arts of astrology, tarot and wicca whenever and wherever I could find such teaching and knowledge. At age 21 I found my first real astrology and tarot teacher, a 36 year-old initiated witch from France named Genevieve with whom I was appearing in a play. She was both gifted and well-schooled in the elemental, mystic and arcane arts. After the year we spent together I began to analyze charts and read the tarot for other people. I continued my study of astrology and the tarot through my twenties, thirties and forties, and I continue to expand my knowledge base and further develop my skill set to this day.
Since the very early years of the present century I have been focused on crafting a spiritually healthy mode of living based in personal evolution, the manifestation of gifts and talents, meditation, making healthy loving choices each day, choosing to flow with life rather than to struggle against it, overcoming defects of character and the implementation of the spiritual principles of gratitude, humility, acceptance, patience, empathy, compassion and tolerance in my daily life. This healthy mode of living, designed to nourish and nurture body, mind and spirit, is a philosophy I share in my sessions with the seekers who meet with me live or on Zoom. I believe deeply in living in harmony with the Earth via taking a minimalist approach to life and basing daily life decisions on planetary impact. I am grateful to be able to spend my days in my studio in Mile End Montreal, guiding seekers in their journey and pursuing various creative interests and projects. I have also been known to commune with nature, the spirits and the ancient ones in the forest on the Mountain.
