ABOUT ME
I’ve been practicing astrology for over 20 years, and currently I’m a member of the board of directors of NCGR-NYC, the National Council for Geocosmic Research, NYC Chapter. I’ve been featured on NBC News, the New York Times, the New York Post, Jane Radio, The Mountain Astrologer Magazine, Fox News, Howcast.com, New York Nonstop, and Worldstreams Radio
I’m an ordained Zen monk and authorized Zen teacher, wedding officiant, and life coach. For close to a decade I worked as a crisis counselor at the Long Island Crisis Center. I also earned a certificate in Foundations of Buddhist Chaplaincy in 2011. As part of my chaplaincy training I offered spiritual care and support to terminally ill patients at a hospice facility.
Currently I'm a senior teacher at The Interdependence Project, a secular Buddhist center in Manhattan, as well as the guiding teacher of Open Sky Zen Meditation & Buddhist Studies Group which meets regularly in New York city.

MY APPROACH TO ASTROLOGY
I approach all of my consultations with three questions in mind:
My goal is that I can answer "yes" to each question after every consultation, and I truly wish that more astrologers followed these same guidelines.
I feel that my decade of experience as a crisis counselor and life coach contributes to the compassionate approach I bring to my clients. Any areas of your life may be explored during a consultation including relationships, spirituality, and career. My reading method is very practical and I aim to present the information in a manner that is clear, concise, helpful, and accurate. Current, past, and future life cycles and trends are discussed during a consultation.
As a Zen Buddhist monk and Buddhist teacher, I view astrology as a means to enable you to awaken to your full potential without viewing your horoscope as a limiting or disempowering entity. All too often astrology is practiced in a fatalistic manner that serves to encourage too much reliance and dependence on the astrologer. When practiced correctly, astrology is a wonderful tool that enables you to understand yourself better so you can make more appropriate life choices. It's both enlightening and empowering when practiced with a sense of compassion rather than control.
I recognize the great value in being fully present for your life and accepting it as it is, knowing what can and ought to be changed, and what needs to be embraced. I will gently guide you in this way while preparing you for future trends. Astrology is an invaluable tool for self-understanding and personal growth. It can provide you with tremendous insight into your personality, talents, vocational abilities, relationship needs and romantic patterns, and more. Your natal horoscope serves as blueprint or road map that describes the conditions surrounding your birth, and the art of astrology lies in interpreting how those conditions set the stage for your life.
It is my goal to serve you through astrology and the insight it provides.
I've worked intimately with people in several capacities including a crisis counselor, certified personal trainer, and hospice volunteer.
My Buddhist practice enables me to recognize the value in being fully present in each moment and accepting life as it is. As your astrologer I will gently guide you in this way while preparing you for the future based on astrological trends and probabilities.
My consultations integrate the principles of mindfulness and compassion. I am committed to helping people understand themselves emotionally, spiritually and psychologically so they can grow into their highest potential.
- Is the information I'm presenting accurate?
- Is the information I'm presenting useful?
- Will the information I'm presenting be more likely to cause happiness or suffering for you in the long term?
