About Katie: A Journalist’s Approach to Astrology

Hi, I’m Katie

A journalist turned astrologer, coach, and meaning-maker.

I help people understand the deeper patterns shaping their relationships, life transitions, and personal growth through astrology, psychological insight, and storytelling.

Because sometimes the most important realization isn’t what is happening—

It’s finally understanding why it feels the way it does.

I Didn’t “Find” This Work—

I Lived It

Growing up, I was painfully shy.

I felt misunderstood.

Ashamed of who I was.

Unsure how to take up space in a way that felt safe or authentic.

For a long time, I learned to adapt instead of express.

To overthink instead of trust.

To minimize instead of be seen.

And I carried that pattern into adulthood.

The Turning Point

In 2019, I was a newlywed when my family dynamics suddenly shifted in ways I couldn’t make sense of.

What once felt familiar became confusing, destabilizing, and painful.

I found myself in therapy trying to understand what was happening—and walked away with a long list of diagnoses and frameworks for what I had lived through.

But underneath all the language, one question remained:

How did my life become this?

And more importantly—

How do I find my way back to myself?

FINDING ASTROLOGY

I didn’t start with belief.

I started with curiosity.

I thought I was just a Taurus—until I discovered I was an Aquarius rising.

I began learning about natal charts, planetary cycles, and how astrology frames patterns of development, identity, and relational dynamics.

At first, I resisted it.

The idea that life could be reflected symbolically in a birth chart felt too abstract, too cold, too far removed from lived experience.

But I kept going.

Because something about it made my life make more sense than anything else I had encountered.

WHAT CHANGED

Astrology didn’t replace therapy.

It deepened it.

It gave me language for patterns I had only felt but couldn’t yet articulate.

It helped me understand my relationships differently.

It helped me understand myself differently.

And most importantly—

It helped me see that what I had been carrying wasn’t personal failure.

It was conditioning.

WHY MY WORK EXISTS TODAY

I eventually began sharing insights with coaching clients, and over time realized I needed deeper formal training to responsibly support people in this way.

I pursued formal astrology education and was accepted into a selective mentorship program after submitting a natal chart analysis.

That moment marked a turning point.

Not because it validated me—

But because it confirmed what I already knew:

This work is not accidental.

It’s aligned.

Today, I help clients use astrology as a tool for meaning-making, self-understanding, and emotional clarity.

Not to predict their future.

But to understand the deeper patterns shaping their present.

MY ROLE IN YOUR PROCESS

I’m not here to tell you who to be.

I’m here to help you see what’s already true underneath everything you’ve had to become.

Together, we explore patterns, relationships, timing, and identity through the lens of astrology and psychological insight.

This work requires honesty.

It requires responsibility.

And it requires a willingness to change—not just understand.

WHO THIS WORK IS FOR

People who come to me are often:

  • self-aware, but still stuck in repeating patterns
  • emotionally intelligent, but questioning their reality
  • strong on the outside, but exhausted internally
  • navigating relationships, identity shifts, or major life transitions

They don’t need more information.

They need clarity.

WHO THIS WORK IS NOT FOR

If you are looking for:

  • quick fixes
  • passive validation
  • someone to make decisions for you

This likely won’t resonate.

This work asks you to participate in your own transformation.

A LITTLE HUMAN NOTE

Outside of this work, I’m a mom to a human baby and a very loved fur baby.

I love the ocean, dancing, music, chocolate chip cookies, and anything that helps us understand the mind and human behavior a little more deeply.

WHAT I BELIEVE

You are not broken.

You were shaped.

And what was shaped can be reshaped—

with awareness, honesty, and choice.

If something in you recognizes this work—

you don’t need more convincing.

You may just need a new way of seeing what’s already unfolding.
