I’m an artist, writer, educator, and astrologer based in New York.
My path to astrology began with a lifelong fascination with patterns—the ways people change, the stories we live, and the larger forces that shape our lives. A spiritual crisis eventually led to a profound awakening that transformed astrology from a personal curiosity into a serious practice.
As an artist, I’ve spent years learning to recognize symbolism, recurring forms, and the relationships between seemingly unrelated things. Astrology became another way of seeing: a symbolic language that helps illuminate the deeper patterns unfolding in our lives.
Since 2020, I’ve studied and practiced traditional Western astrology as a tool for reflection, timing, and self-understanding. I approach astrology as a symbolic language that helps make sense of life’s transitions, creative growth, relationships, and the cycles that shape our experience.
My years as a visual artist have shaped the way I practice astrology. Making art taught me to pay close attention—to notice subtle connections, trust my intuition, and remain curious about what emerges over time. I bring that same way of seeing to every consultation, combining traditional chart interpretation with thoughtful dialogue that helps clients better understand themselves and the possibilities unfolding before them.
Much of my thinking takes shape through Field Notes, an ongoing series of essays exploring astrology alongside art, culture, creativity, and everyday life. Whether I’m writing, teaching, or meeting with clients, my goal is the same: to help people recognize meaningful patterns, navigate periods of change with greater clarity, and cultivate a deeper relationship with themselves.
When I’m not reading charts, you’ll usually find me making paintings and sculptures, teaching, reading, or wandering New York in search of good exhibitions, thoughtful conversations, and inspiration for the next Field Notes essay.
My creative practice continues to shape the way I think about astrology, even when it isn’t the subject of my writing. If you’re interested in exploring my visual work, you can view my paintings and sculpture at whitharris.com.
