Cate Root
Hi, I'm Cate.
Aquarius Sun Leo Moon Taurus Rising
(and it's OK if you don't know what that means!)
I came to astrology through grief, as a sacred language to explore fate.
I've always felt like an outsider, someone who is open to darkness, at ease with profound intimacy and uncomfortable with small talk, more curious about the world that could be than the world that is.
Loss crystallized this perspective into purpose. What if I stop trying to be a person who thrives in sunshine, and accept that I can help others navigate shadow? The gift I offer is to hold a tender channel open for grace to appear.
In our birth chart reading, I will help you understand the ancient and archetypal language of the stars' position at your time of birth. If you've ever read a horoscope and thought, "That's so vague, how could it possibly be true?" —Imagine reading a short story where only the vowels appear. Of course it's not as compelling!
I have always been a quick study with language. Studying ancient astrology, I have begun to feel strong connections between life in 2026 CE and life in 66 BCE. All humans look to the heavens and wrestle with meaning. Why are we here? Why now?
If you are looking for insight that will help you reconnect with the eternal, let's meet.
What to Expect in a Birth Chart Reading
When you book a reading, you will provide your birth date, time, and location. When we meet (online or in person), I'll offer to record the reading for you to send along with my post-reading notes.
We'll begin with a brief introduction to astrology, and I'll invite you into what I call the cosmic timeline. We may end the session with a five-year plan, but we're starting it by setting the time span to millennia, hopefully to widen our perspectives.
I invite you to be an active participant in the discussion as we talk about the core myths and archetypes informing your birth chart, and your sun, moon, and rising sign, as well as any other prominent placements. We'll look at how current transits are affecting you, and answer any questions I can.
Within a week of the session, I will email you with a link to the recording (if applicable), and a copy of my session notes.
