Hi, I write AstroFix
y name is Michelle and I have an Aries Sun, Leo Moon, and Virgo rising. ASTROFIX *the blog of an astrology addict started in the fall of 2009 as a way to explore my North Node conjunct Uranus in Scorpio in the 3rd house. The North Node is a point in your astrological chart that shows your greatest area for growth and new learning. Blogging, communication, and writing are all 3rd house activities, while Uranus is the planet of astrologers, computers, and The Fringe. My brainstorm-style of writing embraces my Uranian third house way of thinking – sometimes I have insightful flashes, and sometimes I’m not sure if I’m making sense! Scorpio says, “Trust yourself.”
I’ve learned so much about web design and writing from creating this site, it’s incredible. I never would have taken this journey if I didn’t think the North Node was worth pursuing. I do everything on this site: writing, design, art, web maintenance, social media, and readings.
ASTROFIX focuses on the interests of intermediate astrologers, readers who know more than the basics, but who are not necessarily interested in becoming professional astrologers (though many are!) Readers are looking for more insight into the astrology of friends, family, loved ones, and themselves. I read astrology authors across the range of schools of thought and do not subscribe to any particular philosophy.
The first time I erected my chart with hand calculations, the chart put my Moon in Cancer. When I read the description, I just thought, there’s no way this is correct, this isn’t me. I don’t have “wet”, watery emotions – I know this about myself. So, what happened? I redid the math, and it turned out my Moon is really in Leo, early Leo, and the description for Moon in Leo is me. If astrology were fake, and if I were someone who just believed whatever I was told and tried to make it fit, then maybe I would have gone years thinking I had the Moon in Cancer. Why would I have the feeling something was off? Why would I be right? I trusted my gut, fixed my chart, and the result was correct.
I studied Thoth Tarot with Carrie Paris, flower essences with Cynthia Athina Kemper of Desert Alchemy Flower Essences, Black Moon Lilith with Kelley M. Hunter, and I’ve taken courses at Kepler College. I graduated cum laude with a B.A. in Fine Art/Oil Painting. I live in the Southwest US with my husband and our four dogs.
