When an inner situation is not made conscious, it happens outside, as fate.

— C. G. Jung

Astrology is the study of humanity: whatever appears within the incredible diversity of human life — creative or destructive — will show up in the chart. This must be part of why it’s endlessly fascinating.

I began learning about astrology in my teens from my family’s large esoteric library. Over the past twenty years, my knowledge has deepened via self-study and intensive private classes with world-renowned Dawn Bogrodi of The Inner Wheel. among other expert astrologers.

Journeywoman — as in journey-level craftsperson — because “in the beginner’s mind there are many possibilities, but in the expert’s there are few” (Suzuki). And because, with a Sagittarius moon, I love traveling and learning.

Evolutionary astrology … recognizes thematic tension as a part of life, but not an immutable one. We can change. We can become more conscious of our own processes. We can alter them for the better. We can, in short, tell our own fortunes.

Kris has a natural inclination for mining and discovering significant details within an astrological chart. From a lifetime picture down to the daily and monthly aspects of a chart, she found information that is so helpful to use as a guide forward in my life. She also went four years into the future and found life-changing events that had not even occurred to me would happen. Thanks!!

Kris analyzed charts for a romantic relationship that I was really struggling with. Her clarity around the emotional aspects of the relationship—which I was seriously stuck on—was extremely helpful and allowed me to end the relationship without judgement of myself, or him. I am fairly pragmatic, but I have trust in her ability to interpret life-happenings through planetary charts, which is so helpful if you're deeply entrenched, looking for answers. She is very in tune with what is NOT said, or NOT on the surface, and reads situations with a sense of nonjudgement. I highly recommend a reading with her!

I'd never done an astrology reading before, but I've always been open to alternative sources of knowledge. Kris did an astrology reading for me at a very pivotal time in my life, when I was undergoing a major career transition. I was amazed at how much the reading aligned with who I am and validated my new career direction—in fact, it was a little eerie how aligned the reading was! The reading reaffirmed me as an individual and reassured me that this professional leap that I am taking, at this particular time, was not only timely but supported by the universe.

I approached Kris when I was freaking out about the upcoming closing on my house. She was straightforward that the closing itself would be bumpy and stressful, but that, a month or so after moving, I'd start to feel better and the house would, in the long run, be the right decision. Here I am, a couple of months later, in a house that's starting to feel like home. I can't thank her enough for her guidance and astrological support.

Kris seemed to be able to map out any time period of my life. The skeptic in me decided to ask about time periods in my past when very specific turning points took place. The correlation between what she was telling me was happening with my chart, and the actual events that took place on those days, was nothing short of amazing. She has changed this skeptic into a believer. I feel as if I have been given a true gift. Thank you!

My consultation with Kris was absolutely awesome! She is incredibly insightful and great at explaining concepts in astrology. It was a great opportunity to reflect and make plans for the future—I could not recommend her enough!

ABOUT KRIS JOURNEY

I live in upstate New York’s Hudson Valley, where I hike regularly with my lab/Dane mix. With a 1st house Libra stellium (Juno-Mercury-Mars-Pluto) trined by Jupiter in Gemini from the 9th, I’m a trauma-sensitive feminist committed to fairness and social equality. With Moon conjunct Neptune and Venus on the Ascendant, I’m intuitive and attuned to creativity in its myriad forms. As a double Virgo, I’m also a devoted researcher in touch with everyday life.

As a rich symbolic language that connects the cosmos with individual lives and even the fate of countries, astrology encompasses my deepest loves: philosophy, psychology, mythology, politics, collective life, community, and social change. I also have a successful career in publishing with a focus in health, academia, and progressive politics, all of which make their way into my philosophy of astrology.

A member of NCGR and AYA, I consult at the Roundout Valley Holistic Health clinics in upstate New York.

He lay down in a soft place. He knew that in the morning, the road would still be there, taking him on and on, to wherever he wanted to go.

We shall not cease from exploration

And the end of all our exploring

Will be to arrive where we started

And to know the place for the first time

The universe speaks back to us through astrology.

A birth chart is not a static thing that one simply gets "done." It is rather a map which can help the person along the road of self-discovery and self-realization. The higher purpose of astrology is not to try to change one's destiny, but rather to fulfill it through growing in awareness.

Always remember that you are absolutely unique.

Just like everyone else.

That only which we have within, can we see without. If we meet no gods, it is because we harbor none.

What wisdom can you find that is greater than kindness?

Astrology is the poetry of astronomy.

Never trade authenticity for approval.

What if who you are is enough?
