my name is caleb and i am an artist and astrologer from new orleans, louisiana; currently based in new york city.
i have virgo sun, libra moon & aquarius rising, with angular uranus/pluto/mercury/venus.
my creative background includes working with collage, performance, text/writing, & painting.
i was introduced to astrology at a young age, mostly through my mother, who was an astrologer herself; falling out of touch with it through the later half of my childhood & eventually finding my own way back to the practice in high school. while i’ve been casually helping others read their chart for a couple years, i began taking on clients for written readings in november 2021, and thus far have offered both customized and pre-prescribed readings with focuses on: solar returns, big three, motivation & direction, and love/sex readings, at a suggested donation pricing model, out of acknowledgement of the brief time i’ve been offering readings & my beginner status in regards to working with clients.
in my work, i use tropical, placidus, and a blend of traditional & modern.
while i personally prefer placidus, i often acknowledge whole sign house as well in my readings, especially with chart who differ greatly between the systems. in regard to rulerships, i tend to use traditional rulers for technical, specific work & the modern rulers for more thematic, archetypical, storyline work. if i’m working with scorpio, aquarius, or pisces risings i always present both the traditional and modern ruler, working with the individual to identify which rulership system they personally identify with.
as a tropical astrologer, i think it’s very important to acknowledge that a lot of what remains of the ancient practices of astrology in the west / in western astrology has been whitewashed, gentrified, & colonized repeatedly throughout histoRY
personally, as an astrologer, my intentions for my work are:
>TO EMPOWER
>TO ENCOURAGE HEALING
>TO BUILD COMMUNITY
>TO INCREASE SELF AWARENESS
>TO SOCIALLY/POLITICALLY DISRUPT & INTERRUPT
>TO INSPIRE, TEACH, SHARE KNOWLEDGE
>TO INCREASE THE ACCESSIBILITY OF ASTROLOGY
some of my personal interests to explore as an astrologer are:
>THE DECOLONIZATION OF ASTROLOGY (& EVERYTHING!)
>GENERATIONAL CYCLES & THE OUTER PLANETS
>ASTEROID WORK
>FAMILY & GENETIC ASTROLOGY
>PLANETARY RETURNS
>WORKING WITH PLANETS IN TRANSIT
>SOUL PURPOSE, DIRECTION & PAST LIVES
>THE ASTRO OF POP CULTURE / MUSIC / TRENDS
in the long run, i hope to contribute to the field by offering an astrological practice that encourages and promotes accessibility, empowerment, community and presents an available, yet technically sound, astrology for all.
