I have been studying astrology for over 40 years.

I see the beauty in the symbolism of the stars and planets. I consider myself very fortunate to have work that continually inspires me.

I have had a private practice as an astrological counselor since 1985 and have been the Book Review and Web Editor for The Mountain Astrologer magazine since 1993. I have written numerous articles for The Mountain Astrologer (both print and Web) over the years.

The mission of the Oregon Astrological Association is to promote investigation into astrology, which we define as "the correlation between celestial movements with events and conditions on Earth." We strive to achieve our mission by:

1) Promoting public lectures, forums, and classes.

2) Providing information to the media which would encourage the fair and accurate representation of astrology.

3) Encouraging dialogue among our members and with the public, regarding ethical application of astrological information, so as to protect both the public and the reputation of astrology.

4) Serving as a unifying force for those interested in the study of astrology, and thereby fostering communication and fellowship.

5) Helping to coordinate scientific research into planetary influences and correlations.

6) Our interest in astrology is not simply for the sake of astrology, but for the betterment of humankind and the well-being of the planet.
