More on Family Astrology...

Families are our laboratories and testing ground for all life experience. We carry them with us inside and out. Family Astrology is based on the concept that once we uncover our family patterns and our place in them, we can begin to re-direct our interactions not only with our families, but with all our significant relationships.

When Cathi began to study astrology she decided not to tell anyone except for a few close friends. Although she was experiencing its accuracy in her own life, like many others who don’t completely understand the science and art, she was somewhat skeptical. But astrology became her “worst kept secret” as she found people initiating casual conversations on the subject. It was the public’s interest in astrology which gave Cathi the liberty to address the misconceptions and educate on the practicality of its use; especially in her area of expertise with children and family relationships.

It’s been said, “We teach what we need to learn the most.” Cathi’s research in child development, psychology, and the human potential have given her insight to dealing with her own challenges and has provided the impetus for her workshops, and the motivation for helping others. Cathi has realized that astrology offers something unique to all other modalities. It ministers to a sense of objectivity and can foster compassion for how we see ourselves and others. 

Astrology presents a way to learn about individual temperaments, emotions, talents, conflicts, and undeveloped potential. It attempts to portray the energy of a person’s psyche and is used as a tool to discover our individual cycles and structures. It is a means to learn more about one’s self so that their interactions with others can be more rewarding. An astrological chart is like a psychic x-ray or mirror that confirms our evolving selves. It is a cosmic blueprint that if used constructively during the many stages of development, can provide the fertile foundation for one’s most potent potential.

There are no bad Signs in astrology, only negative use of their energies. Each Sign has its positive and negative traits and everyone has a combination of all Signs influencing their personality, some Signs being a stronger influence than others. It is ultimately the individual who decides how their chart evolves, of which is often acted out unconsciously. With a chart delineation a person is presented with information that can help them to make better choices about their life. When working with parents regarding their children’s charts, a reading can present a deeper understanding of those who are too young to explain or understand themselves. This offers parents an opportunity to redirect any difficult behavior patterns before they become inherent habits, and to alternately support their children’s innate abilities.   

Incorporated into her chart readings are the principles and philosophies that Cathi has worked with and taught over the past 20 years. These suggested solutions to nurturing happy, healthy, intelligent, and emotionally literate children include but are not limited to; meditation, touch therapy, cultivating a child’s natural creative abilities, dream work, encouraging physical activities as positive energy outlets, character development, building a positive sense of self-esteem, and enriching parent/child communication.

Cathi’s purpose is to bring awareness to the natural reactions, personalities, and innate abilities of individuals to the surface for review, so that they can create healthier relationships. As a counseling astrologer it is her goal to bring her clients to a higher level of awareness for a better quality of life. Cathi believes there is no stronger meaning to the phrase “knowledge is power” than when applied to the understanding of one’s self.
