About Eric
Shortly after graduating from American University in 1993 (B.A. Psychology), my life went through a series of unexpected changes which included the discovery of a deeper spirituality and the study of astrology. My personal revolution and evolution included the decision to drop out of a Ph.D. Psychology program to move to Boulder, CO and study Transpersonal Counseling Psychology at Naropa University. Upon attaining my M.A. in 2001, I committed to a career as an astrological counselor. At that time, I was also studying with astrologer Steven Forrest, who I tutored with for 5 years. In the last 25 years my practice has steadily grown, and I have now published 7 original astrology books.
I see myself as a fellow traveler on the path. As Ram Dass says, “We’re just walking each other home.” Indeed, we are walking towards greater wholeness — towards more love and depth in the heart, and more expanse in the sky. My focus is on spiritual awakening, becoming more conscious. I have been particularly influenced by the teachings of Sri Ramana Maharshi, Eckhart Tolle, Byron Katie, Adyashanti and others.
I believe we stand at the gateway between Ages, a collective turning point towards the much-heralded Aquarian Age. We are witnessing the last stand of the old guard of self-preoccupation, materialism and the bolstering of purely self-interests. The new era will be less Patriarchal and more selfless, a time to realize our inherent interconnectedness. How might we all live in authentic soul alignment to play our part? In order to participate, it is the work of each and every individual to rise to their unique potential, to claim one’s spiritual promise.
The great news is that each of us is furnished with an owner’s manual (the natal astrology chart), a guide to assist us with our individualized spiritual work. My approach is best described as progressive (Aquarian) — one that integrates modern science, psychology and universal spiritual principles. There are 3 major facets:
1) Often called “evolutionary astrology,” this approach assumes reincarnation and the gradual development over many lifetimes. The chart illustrates a trajectory of karmic resolution and evolution.
2) A focus on spiritual awakening – how we are becoming more aware and conscious by working through outstanding egoic attachments and identifications.
3) A transpersonal perspective. Most astrology is organized around personality preferences and labels everything as “good” or “bad.” Here, the emphasis is on our spiritual lessons, to see all of life as our teacher (instead of continually insisting on ease and self-gain).
I hold 2 psychology degrees and have decades of consulting work with thousands of clients. It is my greatest joy and passion to serve as an astrological counselor, to support emotional and spiritual development in a direct and loving way. I have also written 7 original, cutting-edge astrology books. I offer astrological counseling, classes (starting again in October 2026) and books geared especially for this pivotal moment.
I am currently in the Denver, CO area (and available to meet clients in-person), though I do most of my consulting on Zoom. The best way to contact me is by email: eric@soulvisionconsulting.com
