Take the Threshold Test

Decode the Map of your Planetary Parts.

The Geometry of Consciousness

The solar system is a complex organism composed of planetary islands bobbing in an ocean of gravitational waves.

Scientists and architects call this tensegrity — a system defined by "islands of compression floating in a sea of tension." 

The universe has only this one comprehensive coordinating system — all the same laws apply to atoms, ants, trees and galaxies.

The geometric principles of tensegrity apply at every scale from micro-scopic to macro-cosmic, spontaneously self-organizing all physical, psychological and metaphorical phenomena.

Astrology is the art and science of measuring the impact of changes in the geometric relationships between planets. Form determines function — as shapes and angles change, so does their expected outcome.

Astrotensegrity lets us see precisely how these macrocosmic changes are fractally reflected in your individual mind and body at any given moment.

Your Internal Family of Planets

Your mind is a psychotensegrity system — organized according to the exact same geometry as the solar system.

Instead of physical planets in outer space, your inner space is filled with the different "parts" of your personality — your inner critic or wise sage, your inner escape artist or tender child.

Just like planets orbiting the Sun, your parts orbit the center of gravity that is your true Self. However, when life gets scary or stressful, this web warps and strains and the system drifts out of harmony.

Internal Family Solar Systems (IFSS) brings together the power of parts work with the mythopoetic map provided by your unique astrotensegrity chart. This map reveals which members of your internal family are at odds, acting out or hiding in the dark — and makes clear how we can restore harmony to the whole system.

When combined with personalized, nature-based remedies, IFSS offers the promise to stabilize and harmonize your internal system, granting consistent access to inner calm, outer courage and personal freedom.

Geometry is the science of systems — which are themselves defined by relationships. Geometry is therefore the study of relationships.

— Buckminster Fuller

The astronomer discovers that geometry, a pure abstraction of the human mind, is the measure of planetary motion.

— Ralph Waldo Emerson

You woke up human one day...

You were born into a particular body at a particular time to particular parents whose life path impacted yours in particular ways. You had access to a particular set of options about what to wear and eat, where to go, what to do and how to be. So far, you've made the best of it.

We all arrive in this world with karmic momentum. We pass through the portal of birth on a mission to collect experience and cultivate wisdom.

Do you know your soul assignment? Are you consciously aware of the possibilities and pitfalls that define your path on this strange, dangerous and magical planet?

Let the stars guide you.

Star maps have always provided reliable guidance to brave seekers navigating new realms of land, sea and psyche.

Carl Jung says: “Astrology represents the sum of all the psychological knowledge of antiquity.”

Astrology is the original science, inspiring ancient sages to make precise mathematical calculations to track the subtle changes in light as time moves through space.

Over the centuries, humans have made concrete correlations between the changes above and the changes below.

In world swirling with seemingly chaotic changes, this coherent wisdom system is needed now more than ever.

How does astrology help?

Here are a few of the topics we can cover. For example:

Big Decisions

Facing a significant transition? Make your next move with confidence & clarity.

Timing

When you act can be even more important than what you do. Align with cosmic timing.

Relationships

Illuminate shadowy dynamics to engage others with compassion and wisdom.

Purpose

Decode the treasure map pointing toward your soul's true path.

My Approach

Astrology as Active Dialogue

 

My approach to the stars is a departure from the traditional ways I was taught.

While many astrologers spend a session "downloading" information to you, my style is collaborative and conversational. I do not use your chart to tell you who you are — I use it to ask the right questions at the right time.

  • Your Internal Treasure Map: By integrating Internal Family Systems (IFS) with applied eco-psychology, we treat your birth chart as a topographical map of the soul. "X" marks the spot where your most potent, untapped gifts (and blind-spots) are buried.

  • Plain Language, High Impact: While I can describe your astrological markers in technical detail, the most profound sessions often don't require naming a single planet. I translate abstract cosmic geometry into the plain language of your lived experience, resulting in concrete invitations for your next evolutionary leap.

  • Chronometry (The Art of Timing): Knowing which chapter of the story you are navigating is a vital discipline. There are seasons for the giant leap of faith and seasons for the quiet look both ways before crossing the street. Neither is superior — it simply depends on your prevailing celestial weather patterns.

The purpose of Ecotone Astrology is to identify the specific areas of your life currently requesting your attention, ensuring you are ready for a conscious, well-timed evolution.
