ABOUT BEN

"As above, so below" ~Hermetic dictum

The etymology of the word 'consider' literally means, with the stars. So, to be considerate means consulting the wisdom of the stars. Go figure.

Ben started studying astrology voraciously in 1995 and began his practice in 2002. Astrology has taught him that everything is here to teach us something about ourselves. Life is a series of due dates and astrology is the best syllabus out there, showing us how to work with the symbols to manifest them in our vision and to our greatest abilities. Learning to recognize the patterns enables us to adjust the various momentums in order to optimize the opportunities with which we are presented.

Ben is strongly grounded in compassion and respct, but is not looking to coddle people into complacency. He offers support for those willing to work towards their own empowerment and fulfillment. His specialty is working with complex people whose charts do not manifest in stereotypical ways – people who are unsatisfied by the more formulaic levels of astrological interpretation. His goal is to help you consider the dynamics and possibilities within the wisdom of your chart.

Astrology with Ben can help you to work with what is going on currently, to see different perspectives, to understand relationships and how people see you, to avoid the vicious cycles, explore astrological geography and optimal timing for big events, and generally just to get answers. Astrological dream interpretation is also available and can be a profound window to awareness.

Astrologically, Ben uses natal, transits, progressions, synastry, composites, horary and astrocartography. His unique ability to comprehend and conceptualize the complex interplay of astrological movements and forces, combined with his experience with energy work and healing, blends with intuition to deepen the astrological work and its energetic clarity.

Ben is available for readings in person in Santa Barbara/Goleta, California, or by phone.
