Are you ready to join the coziest closed corner of the internet? This month we're becoming Mars retrograde pros, prepping for the Venus-Saturn conjuction, welcoming Alice Sparkly Kat as a Guest Speaker, and staying grounded with our plentiful calendar of optional astro groups.
Do you want to dig into your natal chart in a very real way?
Are you lost looking for accurate reads of the current skies?
This is the place for learning and for refuge.
With private check-ins, plentiful live spaces and a gorgeous roster of Guest Speakers, Steering by Starlight is my way to support a select group of clients ahead of the 2025 Venus retrograde.
We're tracking Venus and practicing astrology along the way - map your individual paths and fine tune your expectations of the longer timelines - together!
Whether you're a loner looking for a support professional to add to your circle of care or you're looking for a grounded astrology community, I've got you covered!
Steering by Starlight is a refuge, designed to support you with high quality astrology through the rest of 2024 and beyond.
This LIVING WORKSHOP turns your personal storyline into a site of wonder. From learning to action, we're making the most of our real life challenges in the current moment.
Regular one-on-one private check-ins with me, your Saturnine Advocate-Astrologer for personalized ongoing grounded support.
Venus Immersion - with live and recorded mini-workshops you'll get to know Venus like never before. Use what you learn to make the best of every Venus Rx for the rest of your life.
From local to global, bring the questions that matter most to your community with Storylines, Threads & Cycles, our group devoted to exploring mundane astrology (aka world events). I take a deeply progressive lens, which means I will reject any attempts to demonize groups of people, am here for workers' rights, disability justice, centering survivors, and interrupting all forms of harm. All we have is each other.
Support by Rising Sign - Have you ever been in a group of people who share your ascendant? Tune in 2x/month to my interactive forecast and support space. Marvel at the stunning mirror of shared transits. All are welcome to audit Rising Sign Groups that are not their own to offer facilitated peer support and deepen their learning.
Astrological Study for those who want it. This living workshop gives you access to abundant weekly learning opportunities, including my Astrology Student Corner and Mercury Through the Bounds. The value to students of astrology can't be overstated.
Guest Speakers & Amy's Public Workshops - a hand picked roster of monthly live talks from astrologers and thinkers who I think are great! Recordings from previous months are available to all new signups.
Elly Higgins - Astrology, Queer Ancestors, and Utopian Memory: For When the Here and Now is Not Enough

Steering by Starlight is a container that runs from August to February. Join us month by month or get cozy for the whole thing.
Regular attendance is not required or expected. You pick your level of engagement.
There are at least 3 live sessions every week (more often 6-9 live sessions). Whether you ONLY use your private check-ins, or you come to every possible group event, this remains an extremely valuable offering.
I can't single handedly battle all the massively unhelpful astrology on the internet, but I CAN offer a high quality refuge.
Have you caught yourself feeling anxious about the Mars and Venus retrogrades?
Are you wrestling with how the accelerating tensions of the world could interrupt or disorganize your efforts to reduce harm and make a better life?
Are there too many out-there astrology takes? Do you want to know how to actually use astrology to map a course?
The storylines of 2024 and 2025 bring shapes that beg for support and endurance.
Steering by Starlight is here for you.
“Amy is one of the most insightful, accurate and educational astrologers I have come across during my spiritual journey. I have been getting yearly readings from Amy for the past 3 years, and I learn so much that applies to my life and rings true, every single time! Amy’s passion in their craft is apparent, and they always manage to break down my chart and explain very otherworldly concepts in a digestible way. Their readings are one of the highlights of my year and one of the worthiest investments I have made for myself. Thank you Amy for helping me understand myself so much better!”
Planetary cycles help us make sense of the way that past stories relate to current ones. Our actions in the world DO feel more connected and grounded when we understand our own timelines.
Venus knows how to chart the path. Even without ritual, the study of Venus is a devotion. Work with us to keep pace with how she weaves the threads of time. This program will ground you in your co-creation with the world, inside and out.
Each of us contain this whole cycle of Venus in our inner worlds. We were born at a certain point in her cycle's unfolding and we will keep relating back to the stories that live there.
“What is most helpful, and often astounding to me, is the way our astrological work together can situate a miniature drama playing out in my day to day life inside of a much larger cosmic and spiritual framework. It helps me relax and reorient to the particulars, knowing that I have a greater purpose and a longer story.”
—Autumn Brown, How to Survive the End of the World Pod
When we put literal thread through cloth, we're doing Venus devotion. Mending, embroidering, and adorning the world around us is a powerful Venusian act. Symbolically, this is her action.
Venus is the archetype we associate with all arts, weaving and mending in particular. But the real stunner is that she does this stitching action with time, too.
Time is her canvas. Our attachments are her medium. And she's very, very good at what she does.
Venus is all about co-creation with the world, and that's our take on astrology, too. We're here to outline the real patterns and get grounded in the work that you're presently sitting with.
The groups I've hosted have been a comfort, a support, and a learning space. I am so grateful for the co-creating you've all done with us over the the whole last year and I can't wait to welcome more of you in for her Evening Phase of self confidence boosting explorations!
"In addition to being very packed technically (though somehow not difficult for me, a bad-at-school person and also there were beginners that seemed to thrive as well) it was very personal, so even though last year it happened to be a lot of intermediate astrology students (I think this one will be different) who thought we came to beef up on theory (which we certainly did), we all ended up jokingly calling it Venus Retrograde Support Group bc of the little community of care and personal support from each other and Amy, who is somehow like perfect solution of 50-50 razor blade brain deep nerd hard prediction very technical numbers guy AND an empathy & care genius who can find where any student or client is at and meet them there with what help they need."

Amy and Alex gave me the guidance, understanding and support that was necessary for me to have the courage to leave a destructive work environment and helped me believe that finding a new job in another field of work would bring forth a positive change. Their predictions became true and have really enhanced my quality of life. If you need support and guidance for long-term life altering processes or life transitions, I cannot emphasize enough what a help and relief it will be to become a part of the group spaces that Alex and Amy offer and have created.
