Hi! I'm JC.

Many ancient civilizations admired the stars; and a select few recorded their movement. The dance of the starry sky was honored and revered. Eclipses and conjunctions were omens. The phases of the Moon told a story, and influenced the tide. The Sun was worshiped as "God" for thousands of years. The planets are living "bodies of knowledge", with talents and secrets and stories to share.

It was noticed by Mesopotamians around 3000 BC that there were 5 stars 'wandering' with the Sun and the Moon. It is this observation that led to the 7 personal planets in Astrology. Personal planets are defined by the fact that they are observable to the naked eye. The word "planet" is Greek for sky "wanderer". Babylonians were the first known astronomers, calculating the movement of the planets through the contellations with minutes and seconds. Their ability to foreshadow planetary placements lead to our first mathematical system. They also named each of the 12 constellations; most are represented by animal totem. Later, Greek influence described the zodiac as the 'animal circle' (zodiakos kyklos). Inspired by the Babylonian system, the Greeks developed much of what we know to be modern astrology, naming astrology and astromony after the Greek word for star, “asteri.” The ancient Greeks, that were known for their logical way of thinking, were skeptical about astrology and wondered about many things, such as why animals weren't ruled by the same cosmic powers as humans. Eventually, the synchronicites became too frequent to ignore. With natural disasters and cataclysmic events aligning with the movement above, the planets began to earn the respect they deserve.

India has it's own system of star study known as 'Jyotish', or Vedic Astrology. In India, Astrology has never lost it's appeal. No life event will take place without a chart being observed and approved. Marriage and compatability is considered by planetary placements before a wedding venue is booked.

As we moved through "The Iron Age" or "The Age of Reason", most civilizations began to lose sight of the stars and their influence on our daily lives. However, the stars continue to move and evolve, just as humanity does too. The "Age of Aquarius" is upon us; we are each finding our own unique gifts that serve to benefit the whole of humanity. Astrology offers us a sincere insight into where we've been, where we are, and where we are going. 

May the stars light the way.
