Anne's Aquarius Ascendant works with her Virgo Sun and Leo Pluto in the 7th house and combines with her First house Pisces Moon ruled Jupiter/ Uranus in a t-square with Neptune and Chiron. That mix creates a charming, personable, funny and delightful astrological analyst, coach and catalyst who educates and assists her clients or students with their life changes, growth spurts, evolution, integration and personal understanding using astrology as a tool.

Anne believes astrology helps a person understand the seasons, phases and cycles of their lives. Working with Anne, her clients or students learn techniques to integrate their unique natal energy patterns. They figure out how to harness and drive their own cosmic maps, understand and master life patterns, and work with their problem areas productively. Anne's focus is always on how to create your best life using the tools described by your chart.
