My name is Mary Beth (she/her), and astrologically speaking, I have a 2nd House Aries Sun (exactly conjunct Venus), a 7th House Virgo Moon, and Pisces Rising. 

I’ve always been a seeker—of truth, spirit, meaning. But not in a way that’s abstract or distant. I seek through life itself: through motherhood, loss, healing, creativity, and the daily spiritual practice of simply being human.

Before moving into astrology professionally, I spent decades inside the corporate world of organizational leadership and change—working at companies like Dell, Oracle, and Pearson, and earning my graduate degree in Organizational Development and Leadership from Fielding Graduate University. I became fluent in the language of systems, strategy, culture, and transformation.

And still… something deeper was always knocking.

Eventually, Zen meditation answered.

For 20 years, Zen mindful meditation has been my home base. Not as an idea—but as lived practice. Sitting. Breathing. Listening. Returning. Again and again. Zen taught me what no corporate training ever could: how to stay with the present moment when life breaks open. How to bow to what is. How to trust silence.

Astrology arrived later, not as a curiosity, but as a revelation. Thank you, 2nd Saturn Return at 60 years of age.

Evolutionary Astrology, especially, felt like remembering something ancient in my bones. Astrology stopped being personality analysis and became what it truly is for me: a soul map. Sacred grammar. A way of witnessing the deep intelligence moving through a life.

My path in astrology has unfolded through years of study and apprenticeship within soul-centered traditions, and I am currently a student in Steven Forrest’s Evolutionary Astrology school. I am also a graduate of Debra Silverman’s Applied Astrology program, where astrology is approached as a form of sacred listening and compassionate guidance. Alongside this, I am in my first year of a three-year journey with the Foundation for Shamanic Studies, deepening my relationship with ritual, inner worlds, and direct knowing. All of this is held within a foundation of Zen practice, psychology, and contemplative inquiry—a single, living devotion to becoming more fully human and more fully awake.

But my real teachers have also been:

• Becoming a mother
• Loving deeply alongside heartbreak
• Losing what I could not keep
• Learning to play the guitar and drums
• Letting life remake me more than once

Astrology, Zen, spirituality, and the psyche now live together at the heart of my work. Not as techniques—but as ways of accompanying another human being through becoming.

My approach to astrology is intuitive, grounded, and deeply compassionate. I do not believe charts dictate your fate. I believe charts reflect your freedom. My role is not to tell you who you are, but to help you remember.

In my sessions, we listen together. We slow down. We translate symbols into stories. We track patterns the soul is ready to release—and potentials it is ready to claim.

I have a daughter in college and I live in Austin, Texas, with my two dogs, Paolo and Gus, who remind me daily that the spiritual path is not abstract. It is embodied. Rooted. Sensual. Real.

If you are here, something in you already knows:

You are more than a personality.

More than a past.

More than a story you’ve outgrown.

You are becoming.

And I would be honored to witness and support you.
