About Me

I have been practicing astrology counseling and facilitating groups since 2006. I have been a decades-long student of dreamwork, astrology and psychology, with a passion for the depth psychology of C.G. Jung and his followers. I have been studying dreams since I was a pre-teen, and astrology since I was 18, when I was given my first book on AstroPsychology.  Since then, I have studied many varieties of astrological theory, such as Evolutionary Astrology and Archetypal Astrology,  and incorporate these into my readings. I have paralleled my astrology and psychology studies over the years with extensive, right-brain creative process-work trainings in painting from the unconscious (The Painting Experience) and in movement (Authentic Movement, Modern Dance). I am also a trained medicinal herbalist, working with herbs, aromatherapy and nutrition.

my background

Like famed astrologer Carolyne Casey, I have a BA from Brown University (which attracts independent minds!). I later received regular and advanced training certificates from the Interchange Counseling Institute in San Francisco, completed a year-long training in group facilitation from The Circle Way/Peer Spirit program now based on Whidbey Island, WA, and also trained in Mind Body Skills through the Center for Mind Body Medicine based in Washington, D.C. My online group facilitation currently focuses on Spiritual Ecology, as well as tools and practices for moving through the multi-level crises our planet now faces with resilience and aliveness.

Last but certainly not least..

My parallel career as a writer/editor helps me ground and articulate my insights so that they can be easily absorbed and understood by clients with all levels of astrological knowledge.  Complimentary to these ‘left brain skills,’ my intuitive skills are well-developed through having been a student of the Naqshbandi Sufi meditation and dreamwork path with Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee since the early 1990s. All of this rests as a foundation for my great respect, love of, and trust in the healing and transforming powers of astrology!

Words of praise

What Clients Are Saying

"Thank you Diana, for the four astrology sessions you’ve done for me. I am so impressed with the breadth and depth of your knowledge, as well as your intuitive insight. During our first reading, you gave me such an important piece of information regarding my relationship to money. Working with what you told me has made a huge difference in my finances. That’s why I came back for three more readings, each time on a different topic. Again, in each of these readings, you offered me such important gems of insight into different areas of my life. You had mentioned that I might have some personal issues to work on and that I should find a way to share more about this with my audience or clients, and to be more vulnerable with them. I am in the midst of this process, and you were able to see it in my chart—amazing! I can see myself coming back for many more readings."

"I am deeply grateful to Diana for her insight and compassion in helping me to deal with traumatic loss and in envisioning new life paths. Always presenting with humility, humor, and optimism, she is a true healer and provider of counsel! She is an amazing astrologer and an accomplished student and teacher of psyche and inner wisdom."

~DL

"It was a very healing experience to receive astrological help from Diana. I liked that we together went into deeper knowledge and looked at the constellations of learning paths in life. She brought both the dimensions of inner life and outer life together and helped me reflect on what has been in my life, my evolution, my current way of approaching life and also the possibilities open for my future. The emphasis on integration of life lessons and current challenges was very helpful. It brought a new level of empathy and understanding towards myself. It also gave me a sense of calm as I can see I am more ‘on track’ than ‘off track,’ and that is a big help!"

"Thank you for the fine astrology reading! I have learned more from you than I ever have from other astrologers."

“I feel so much more healthy & aligned with who I am because you did my charts, and because you so clearly described for me the significance of these [archetypal] forces. Thanks so much for helping me to see myself. ”
