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 22 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.

To me, an astrology chart illustrates a person’s trajectory of awakening. As seen in my books, I have developed a unique approach to assist clients in their process of becoming and realization. My style is to be maximally accessible and to accept others just as they are without pretense. I have a compassionate yet direct approach, and I am fascinated and curious to hear my clients’ experience.

My current passion is meditation and embodiment practices. I have learned that spiritual awakening (developing awareness, connection to life) becomes realized and integrated by our participation here (on the earth) and now (in the present)! I maintain an active lifestyle, particularly out in nature.

I’m currently located on the shoreline of Connecticut. I maintain a busy practice and welcome new (and return) clients. After an inward phase, I’m planning to resume teaching astrology classes later on this year. Another interest of mine is to assist the development of Heliocentric Astrology, and I’ll likely write on that soon. My deep desire is to contribute to a 21st Century astrology incorporating spirituality, science and psychology which empowers the individual to live in co-creative harmony with nature.
