I’ve spent much of my life on the water. When the tide shifts, there’s a period called slack tide where things are at a mushy, messy standstill.

Like many people, I began studying astrology to understand myself better.

If my life were a book, it contains lots of chapters, each unique & varied, yet I couldn’t quite connect the dots or get the story to make sense. In this way, astrology provided a framework for me to understand my multitudes and trust the timing of my story.

I was born in a time of war, displaced for much of my early life until my family & I fled Vietnam by boat. We were in a refugee camp together, then sponsored to the United States. It took me many, long years to realize that the parts of myself that I was ashamed of, kept hidden & small, were actually my superpowers. The first time I saw an astrologer (the late and brilliant Jeff Jawer) he looked at my chart, looked at me, and said, You’re surprisingly optimistic for someone so long suffering. I felt in that moment deeply seen.

In the first half of my life, I have travelled all seven continents—most notably eight science support deployments to Antarctica and roam-schooled my kids on islands and archipelagos where we surfed with sea turtles. In some ways, my experience of being without a home has made me belong to the world at large.

Astrology helps us towards profound healing, acceptance, and trust.

I love astrology because it connect us—to our own multitudes, to each other, and to a greater celestial wisdom & timing. I hope to validate your struggles & grief and to help you feel uplifted & empowered to create a better future.

Looking up at the sky, I can’t help but think of all the early ancestors who gazed at the moon & stars to make sense of when to plant, to tell stories about how the world came to be, and to navigate beyond outer bounds & return home.

How is there even a language for the mysteries of the universe? It is written in the stars & the stars are within us.
