Hi I’m ✧Blair･ﾟ✧ I’ve been going steady with astrology for over 15 years in combination with my work as an artist and counselor. My guidance is raw, real and informed by my love for storytelling and play. I work best with fellow artists, activists, wild ones, weirdos or really anyone curious to deepen their intimacy with life.
Outside of astro-counseling and formal chart readings, I experiment with astrology through comedy theater and video art. I have an MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and immersed myself in many years of physical theater clown school. I am the Director of the alt comedy astrology-theater troupe Planets, Planets, Planets, and teach an astrology seminar for artists called Space Craft. I organize a visual directory of planetary alignments and write a monthly horoscope newsletter that reports star vibes through abstract moving images.
I am a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEI), Hypnotherapist (The Center For Integrative Hypnotherapy NYC) and trauma informed Life Coach (The Embody Lab, Martha Beck). I am also in the middle of Cranial Sacral and Psychodynamic Body Work studies at IPSB in Los Angeles. I am a former apprentice of Oilbhe Ephraim Pepper at the Lunaria Tarot and Mystic School and a longtime student of the hermetic arts. I have been teaching astrology for over a decade and train other astrologers and healers at Your Life Is Enormous.
I am deeply privileged to have had the mobility to follow my passion. I do not take this for granted and devote my life to social change, starting with this internal work with my clients. No one’s self-development should be compromised because of systematic oppression. I designate reduced rate reading slots each month and depend on those who can afford regular prices to subsidize the accessibility of my services.
What is an astrology reading like ?
MY PROCESS
Before every session, I sit and build intimacy with your birth chart and the visual language it evokes in me. I am an artist, every chart is a visceral muse of shape, color and poetry. I curiously link together these abstract impressions with practical philosophy and storytelling.
In addition, I combine my intuition with a lot of grounded, technical tools from a traditional astrology standpoint. Your chart is always shifting, evolving and hatching certain life events, trends or mood-boards...I deduce how, when and at what rhythm. Astrology rocks because it is a storytelling tool that allows us to give crisis or joy the gift of meaning and growth. It also lets us know when certain cycles start and end, so that we can show up for them with open eyes.
During sessions, I hold my prep-work lightly because for me: readings are a sacred, improvised happening. I approach every client as a holy collaboration between whatever our energies together are called to reveal in that moment. Sometimes, I discover unexpected, new revelations only through our real-time experience together. Other times, you help me recall my prep-work and we expand on it...it’s all an open conversation.
There is no right way to show up to a reading with me. You can come with a million questions or let me ask them. You can laugh, cry, scream. You can direct it entirely or just listen to me riff. I do this from a trauma-informed, integrative place and value creating a safe container to process life’s intensities. All readings are confidential and recording is optional.
Last, it is important to note: Astrology can be extremely accurate !...yet I am not here to be right... I am here to provoke you, to tell stories about your chart that you can either lean into or deny as a way to launch you into your own truth. I believe that our birth charts are a creative opportunity and I am committed to giving my clients a real experience of themselves that leaves them feeling whole.
