The goal is to help you recognize patterns, explore your strengths and challenges, and develop a deeper understanding and acceptance of yourself.Each reading includes approximately one hour of preparation and research beforehand, followed by a one-hour, in-person consultation where we'll explore your chart together.

Hi, I'm Andrea

I've been fascinated by astrology for as long as I can remember, learning about the zodiac signs in grade school. What began as a longstanding curiosity grew into a deep appreciation for the history, symbolism, and remarkable complexity of this ancient practice.Over the last 30 years, many ancient astrological texts have been translated directly from their original Greek, Latin, and Arabic sources into modern English. This has opened the door for contemporary astrologers to rediscover traditional techniques and ways of understanding the birth chart, filling in gaps of understanding that were lost to time and centuries of translation.This historical tradition, known as Hellenistic astrology, forms the foundation of my practice. I bring it together with the insights of modern psychological astrology, drawing on both traditional techniques and contemporary approaches to self-understanding.My hope is that exploring your birth chart can offer a fresh perspective on your life, deepen your understanding of yourself, and foster a greater sense of acceptance of who you are.

Why Rowan Tree?

Nature is our teacher. We need only observe the world around us to find lessons in the rhythms, relationships and patterns of the natural world.The sky is no exception. It is nature on a grand scale, its movements and cycles unfolding above us.Astrology is rooted in the observation of the heavens: noticing the movements of the celestial bodies and discovering reflections between the patterns unfolding above us and those that occur here on earth. The heavens remind us that we are part of a greater whole, and that the patterns we experience in our daily lives and throughout our lifetimes are connected to the larger cycles of time and nature.

"That which is above is like to that which is below, and that which is below is like to that which is above."

Trees, too, have much to teach us. They remind us that the higher their branches reach, the deeper their roots must grow. To reach toward the heavens, we must remain grounded in the earth.Deep roots bring to mind my ancestors: those who lived on and with the land, in tune with the natural world. The Rowan Tree appears throughout the folklore and mythology of northern and northwestern Europe, the lands of my ancestors. Known by names such as the Witch Tree and the Quicken Tree, it has long held a place in stories of magic, guidance, protection and connection to the unseen.To me, the Rowan Tree represents the relationship between the material and spiritual worlds. It reminds us that to reach higher, we must first grow deeper; that meaningful connections with others require healthy boundaries; and that growth and exploration are best supported by strong roots and stable foundations. It speaks to the importance of remaining grounded even as we reach toward something greater.These are the principles at the heart of my astrology practice. We look to the heavens for insight and guidance, while remaining rooted in the world around us. We seek to understand our place within the greater whole, to nurture meaningful connections, and to recognize the importance of the foundations that support us.
