the divine field

You are already in the field .

“What does it mean to be orientated? How do we begin to know or to feel where we are, or even where we are going, by lining ourselves up with the features of the grounds we inhabit, the sky that surrounds us, or the imaginary lines that cut through maps? How do we know which way to turn to reach our destination?”—Sara Ahmed, Queer Phenomenology

To understand your own field — your own chart — is a way of cultivating an understanding of the larger fields that we are all a part of.

Astrology is a practice by which we try to understand the phenomena of our existence; how our fields interact with the fields of others; how all fields are interconnected; a reminder that life is not linear; that the context is bigger than the part of the field that you directly experience.

Your field of experience is just one amongst an infinite number of other fields which  together make up the universe.

In this way, I think of the cosmos as the divine field and when I read a casted chart I approach it as a portion of that field that we get to interact with — a way of understanding our place within the universe and how we are part of its intricate network.

I use the word divine not to suggest a particular god or religion but rather to point to the intuitive and intelligent design of the universe and to the divinatory nature of astrology and tarot which gives us a peek into that design.

I think of a casted chart as a field within a field.

The word field is one that we use when we want to encompass widely, when we don’t want to narrow down. A field is both its expanse and the accumulation of its grasses.

We can never hold or fully understand the entirety of the field, but we can be in and experience the portions that we encounter.

At times the field we are in is intimately known to us and familiar, while, at other times, it can seem as if the field has shifted and left us in the middle of a great wide area with no signposts, no guides, and no idea of which direction to go in or what to do next.

In those times of flux and dissonance, the tool of astrology can act as a compass.

Astrology is a way of reading the field and divining a pathway — not through or out of the field but as a way of reconnecting with it.

That is the perspective from which I would like to practice and collaborate with you.

The charts we read and/or the array of cards we receive during a consultation are the divine fields by which we will seek to understand the phenomena, the interplay, of your question.

The goal is clarity and understanding, as well as appreciation for how and why the field is unfolding as it is—and your role in that unfolding.

The following is a list of offerings from which we can begin.
