Hey, my name is Elly.

I’m a queer and trans astrologer with a Capricorn stellium and a Libra rising.

As an astrologer, I am interested in meeting people where they are at, helping them find their path and trust their agency, becoming co-collaborators with the cosmos. My style is practical and grounded in the ways that power and oppression impact how we are able to live out our birth charts. I believe that the magic of astrology comes alive in the consultation setting and have been offering readings since February 2022. I am a member of the Association for Young Astrologers.

In addition to many years of self study, starting with Chani Nicholas and Demetra George, I have completed Chris Brennan’s comprehensive Hellenistic Astrology Course, studied privately with Amy Green, taken classes with Kelly Surtees, tutored under Michael J Morris, and in 2023 completed my electional studies through private training with Kira Ryberg. I am also indebted to the teachings of Dr. Ali A. Olomi.

I use whole sign houses, traditional planetary rulers, and the essential dignities scheme from the Hellenistic tradition. 

I consider myself to be a forever student of the cosmos and I am consistently updating my practice to include new techniques and ideas.

Why Star Gays?

Rummaging through the archives of queer art, thought, and activism has been a lifelong journey. Creating a queer lineage through the archives has been incredibly important to developing my sense of self. Astrology has also been a critical tool for understanding my life and my place in the world. Studying the cycles of time has allowed me to connect to the past and be more present in my own experience. Both astrology and queer archival art and activism have been ways that I have located myself and rooted into who I am and where I come from. Star Gays: The Queer Astrology Archives Podcast is my attempt to bring these passions together and share what I have learned with you all.
