About Robin and Steve

Robin turned to the intersection of metaphysics and art because she desperately needed to heal her psyche and physical body. Incorrectly medicated for a condition she didn't have and raised to work a "real" job even if she hated it, she suffered for 35 years with daily suicidal ideation and physical health challenges.

Once Steve realized how much astrology was helping Robin and how inclusive and accepting it was compared to the traditional spirituality of his youth, he was hooked!

In 2022, our spirit guides prompted us to start on a nomadic journey to figure out where and how we could build our best lives.

After Los Angeles, London, Edinborough, Paris, Amsterdam, Portland, Las Vegas, Dallas, London (again), and Durango, here's what we realized:

There's no point looking for nails if you were born with a screwdriver. No matter how much you try to be a hammer, you will never thrive until you start finding opportunities to use your NATURAL GIFTS.

The divine has created you to be your own greatest JOY (partly that's because you are your own most constant company.) Mining your inner self for things you love and enjoy is the crucial to a satisfying life.

But our school system is very focused on identifying what we're good at. And it sucks at helping us figure out what we like!

Enter your natal astrology birth chart.

Using a combination of ancient astrology techniques and our own observation from living in a dozen cities, we've created new type of astrology analyses to identify:

What you love doing

What you're good at

What creates energy and motivation

Combine that with where on the planet you'll find your best success, and you have a recipe for a happy and fulfilling life.

Now that we're doing this, we're feeling so much better - mentally and physically.

Let's collaborate to help you find your thrive zone.

Involved in spirituality and life coaching for 28 years, Robin has worked with thousands of clients, taught spiritual study groups, and given classes on spirituality and astrology for:

It's astrology tradition to always acknowledge our teachers, so Robin would like to thank Audrey Lee of Metaphysical Haven Meetup Group, Matthew Kenney of Ancient Astrology, Danny Larkin, and Chris Brennan's Astrology Podcast and Dr. Ali A. Olomi Head on History Patreon, whose have done so much to bring traditional astrology techniques to modern audiences.

We drop weekly articles and lectures on our Patreon "Spiritsaid" because there's just so much to say and share! Steve is a fantasy fiction author, and Robin is also an avid traveling artist and thrift-store vintage enthusiast, in case you can't tell from the pictures!

A few of our basic principles

If it's a part of who you are, it's a feature, not a bug. No matter how frustrating (or scary), even if pejoratively labeled by others, anything in your essential makeup is precious gift, designed for your enjoyment, strengthening, or growth.
The challenges in your life help you grow, strengthen, and gain wisdom. They are not designed to generate shame, grief, fear, or unhealthy self-blame.
Troubleshooting your astrology chart yields dozens of helpful tips, strategies, and techniques for smoothing energy flow, soothing pain points, and overcoming challenges.
No one should be stereotyped, labeled, or stigmatized because of any physical, psychological, or spiritual characteristics.
While astrology and divination can highlight difficult times and personal challenges, we should not live in fear or despair over what we learn. All information can be harnessed to help us thrive and feel good about who we are!
