Astrology, in all its forms, is the study of time. Much of what folks learn online today consists of observing, and understanding the moving patterns of time that impact us all. However, when we work with Natal Astrology, we contemplate one moment in time as a reflection of one individual life. And although understanding a natal chart is entirely different from understanding cosmic cycles, grasping their connection is essential.
To work with an individual horoscope, we separate the moment an infant takes its first breath from all other moments in time. We bring the pattern of the cosmos in that moment onto a static page where we can study the patterns and significance of that one moment, that one life. When an infant takes its first breath, the motion of the heavens pauses. In that moment, the pattern of life is established, and the stage is set for the life ahead.
Laurie Farrington, has quietly cultivated a devoted following through her pragmatic approach to understanding and working with individual’s natal charts. Studying and working on her own for 50+ years, Laurie has carved a unique niche by simplifying the complexities of natal interpretations.
Her first book, How to Read & Interpret a Birth Chart: Guideposts for Understanding Natal Astrology is a testament to her unorthodox yet insightful teachings, offering fresh perspectives that will resonate with dedicated students of astrology.
Beyond her astrological pursuits, Laurie enjoys voraciously reading, painting (watercolor), spending time with her feline companion, adventuring with her partner, and exploring cemeteries and the wild coast of Maine. Her unassuming wisdom inspires those who have discovered her distinctive voice in the world of natal astrology.
