At the core of my philosophy is the principle of Illumination, a concept of self-inquiry that guides individuals to embrace their true essence.
I strive to foster the potential of the soul, bridging the divide between the tangible and the divine aspects of experience. My approach is akin to shadow work and spiritual alchemy, a transformative process that brings the unconscious into conscious awareness through archetypal insight and integration. Drawing inspiration and wisdom from teachers such as Carl Jung, Paracelsus and G.I. Gurdjieff, together we navigate the intricate pathways of the psyche and the stars, locating the truth that lies beneath the mundane surface.
For nearly 20 years, I have immersed myself in the study of the esoteric, guided by the timeless principles of spiritual alchemy and holistic health. My path has been shaped by a dynamic tapestry of formal education, self-directed exploration, and diverse mentors, interwoven with profound life experiences that grant me a distinctive lens on the complexities of the human condition.
In 2019, amid a challenging bout of mysterious chronic health issues, my passion for astrology ignited. While enrolled at the School of Evolutionary Herbalism, I delved deeply into medical astrology, uncovering intricate correlations between the cosmos and our physical forms. These insights not only transformed my health but reshaped my entire life.
Through the practical lens of alchemy, I came to see the profound interconnectedness of body, mind, and spirit—deepening my devotion to this ancient occult wisdom. Upon completing my herbalism studies, I pivoted fully to astrology, dedicating myself to its disciplined practice.

My insatiable curiosity and the unfolding of life have drawn me to explore myriad disciplines before and alongside astrology. Among them, I weave into client sessions when called: Jungian dream analysis, planetary sound healing, numerology, tarot, and alchemical herbal medicine.
Standout milestones in my astrological training include studying Horary with the School of Traditional Astrology and on my on-going studies of Medical Astrology under William Morris, PhD.
Guided by a spiritual quest for truth, wholeness, and a fierce devotion to personal and collective evolution, I bridge ancient wisdom with contemporary insight—an Ancient Future synthesis. I strive to serve as a steady beacon, wielding astrology and archetypal knowledge to catalyze transformation and self-realization in others.
Through my own trials, I have learned to greet adversity as sacred alchemy, unearthing hidden treasures in the darkest shadows. Each day remains an invitation to explore the depths of psyche and celestial wisdom, finding solace and inspiration in the eloquent miracle that is within and without, guiding us all.
“Ciera is an astrologer like no other.
When she looks at your chart, she sees beyond it to the whole person, the larger story, and the connections you might not be making or capable of seeing. I've had astrology readings in the past where astrologers either seemed to be reading me a printout I could find online for myself or spoke, and interpreted, to me as if they were somehow above and all-seeing. Ciera speaks to you with kindness, openness, and understanding that is so obviously intrinsic to who she is as a human being. She was born to do this work. Ciera has helped me through some of the toughest periods of my life and, while she always brings it back to the astrology, she also speaks to alchemy, mindfulness, nature, and feelings that make up life. To work with her is to feel held and in partnership with someone who peels back the layers that all of us wish we could remove but often can't. She does it with ease and deep kindness.”
