What up. My name is Alex. I have a degree in Psychology, Family Studies, & Sociology from McNeese State University and I’m currently working on my Masters in Counseling with the intention of becoming a registered LPC. I have over 7 years of professional experience working in the field of psychology as well as almost 10 years of teaching and mentoring all sorts of wonderfully unique and diverse people both in school settings and private. I am “newer” to the scene of professional astrology, but I am quickly making a name for myself within the community. I specialize in inner healing, trauma, shadow work, personality, and psychology astrology. I love helping people feel seen, valued, and understood. I have a passion for inspiring people to grow, heal, and become the best version of themselves.
My journey of learning astrology was a unique one. A very special person I knew wanted to give me a reading. They were not an astrologer, but merely a hobbyist with a genuine love for spirituality. I said “ok, read me”. Unfortunately for them, I was not impressed. I only resonated on a surface level which, to me, felt like pure confirmation bias or generalizations that nearly anyone could relate to. In their defense, I’ve grown quite a bit as a person since then; I was very defensive and skeptical which didn't make it easy on them. But, their knowledge was not enough to satiate my hunger for truth or appease my, honestly, very critical temperament.
Since I cared so deeply for this person, I, by proxy, also started to care about what they cared about. So, I decided to investigate astrology - partly with an open mind and, in full transparency, partly wanting to prove that astrology was fake. Turns out, astrology is real.
I started to read my own chart and it began to make sense. The whole beautiful and complex system started to come alive. I broke astrology down to its most basic functions; I rebuilt it from the ground up in my head so I could understand. I had to understand everything…nobody seemed to be able to answer my unusually specific questions in ways that I could comprehend. So, I decided that I had to start from the beginning: what are the origins of astrology and what are the most basic and fundamental definitions of the signs, houses, planets, and energies? I started with podcasts, then read books, listened to even more podcast, and studied my chart - I had become obsessed.
I started experimenting with what I was learning on my friends. I found I was easily able to practically apply what I had learned. Eventually, I branched off to reading strangers’ charts. Astrology never lies. If there was information about somebody in their chart, I was determined to find it. And I always did. My accuracy started to scare me, but not surprise me. I would say “either astrology works, or it doesn’t” and it always did. I believe in the astrology. Everything I learned and tested worked 100% of the time without fail. I had become obsessed and, oops, accidentally talented at something I used to say was garbage. It isn’t garbage. It is just really complicated and nobody makes it accessible.
I intend to change that.
