Your author – only older & greyer…!

Hello and Welcome! I’m Jessica, an astrologer, writer and mystic. This site is a collection of my ramblings about astrology and life and the challenges of spiritual awakening. I’ve been studying astrology for over 30 years and my other interests range from psychology and philosophy to ancient history and the power of the mind and imagination.

I started life as a musician and sound engineer and was bounced onto the spiritual path by a shattering initiation in my early 20s. I became a Zen Buddhist until God caught up with me and my slow transformation into a mystic began.

Astrology also crept up on me and now I can’t think without it! I do psychological and spiritual astrology and dabble in the mundane variety. Although I’m NOT offering birth chart readings at present, I am preparing Reports that will be available some time in 2024 – more news soon! Details on my Services and Courses here.

I’ve written two visionary fiction novels, a mind training guide for writers, and a bunch of astrology books. They’re available on Kindle and in paperback from Amazon, or you can buy direct from me at my lovely Payhip store. Details on my Books page.

This site is written for you – yes you! – the Spiritual Warriors, truth-tellers, way-showers, mystics, shamans, witches, wizards, healers, and brazen Bodhisattvas. The world needs you now, more than ever before. But you knew that…

I hope you find this site interesting, entertaining and/or helpful. There are tons of archives so be sure to have a good rummage. I look forward to meeting you!

Jessica 😊

        1. P.S. The Universe has randomly looped me back here. So, I decided to do our composite chart. We have Chiron on the Ascendant and Uranus on the Descendant at 20 degrees Aries/Libra. This is conjuncting the lunar nodes right now! Mercury/Mars conjunction also. Powerful physical and emotional healing!

          Check it out for yourself. My birthtime/location – 1 October 1976 – 10:51pm Doylestown, PA USA (Bucks)

          Take care. Please let me know if you’d like to converse further. -Des (desmondiv@gmail.com)

  3. Hi Jessica,

    So glad I found your blog! Your posts on the zodiac myths have been very helpful for a calendar project I’m working on. I have to say your research and writing are the best on the web, and I love that you also talk about the spiritual journey and share movies for each sign. By the way I’m a Virgo and Stranger Than Fiction is one of my favorite movies (I also studied applied mathematics! You made me feel so much better about being a Virgo, haha).

    This calendar started as simply illustrating the signs then I got to exploring the myths, and finally the whole thing turned into a hero’s journey. I wrote about my process in a blog post and mention your blog:

    And also link to your zodiac posts on my other post about the journey through the myths:

    Just wanted to say thanks for the inspiration. All the best, Sophie

  4. A couple of months ago (end of 2020), I read Addled and liked it a lot. And ever since reading it, I wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed it (and now I find some time to do so – but better late than never).

    You wrote in some blogpost (must have been a few years ago) that it was your journey you were sharing in this book. So, thanks a lot for sharing your journey.

    I found the descriptions in the book very vivid (especially of what Zoe was going through mentally and emotionally), and the plot was intriguing. A real page turner with much suspense and many surprising twists and turns.

    Maybe it would also be a great read for family members or partners of someone who is going through a spiritual emergence/emergency process so that they can understand better what is happening.

  7. Hello Jessica, I really love the piece you did on the Lojong Slogans. I was wondering if you have got a place where they are stored in order or are accessible in pdf format?

    I find them really useful in the way you write about them. However, for some reason my mobile doesn’t list or display them in order.

    Kind regards

    Matt

  9. Can’t believe it’s taken me so long to read your About summary, Jessica! Or maybe I did, way back when, and it seems fresh again after reading so many of your blog musings. Thanks, enjoyed this too! ~ Jamie

  11. Hi Jessica – Glad it’s going well. Have you now stopped using your old header pic, the metaphysical line-drawing? If so, can I use it? I’ve not found anything better. Might as well steal your good idea if I can. .

    1. Thanks Lee, much appreciated. I hadn’t really thought about the resource centre being anything more than just a page of useful links to help people. I’m not an expert or qualified to counsel people, so it wasn’t my intention to set myself up as a teacher or offer services. I’m just a writer trying to make sense of her own experience – some of it might hit home for others and help, but mostly I’m stumbling around in the dark the same as everyone else! People can always get in touch via the contact page if they wish.

      Thanks for the support. I always enjoy your posts – you have a fascinating take on the world and lots of interesting experiences to share. I’m going to read more of your stuff – starting with the links you kindly put on the spiritual crisis centre page 🙂

      1. It’s great what you are doing. I have a very similar view in that I aim for this beautiful synthesis between my creative expression and my altruism. I’ve always made a point of doing some real good in the world with my gifts. To do otherwise would seem like I was squandering them. Like I’m not about to start writing laundry detergent copy no matter how much I was getting paid. But even if I had never made a cent from my writing I would still feel that I have upheld my end of the pact my soul made with the universe.

  16. Hi Jessica,
    Hi Jessica,
    I found you via Karin of Spiritual Awakening and very glad that I did. Our charts are similiar ( I am 16 degrees Aquarius rising with 5 degrees Sag MH) Our stories are also somewhat similar. I discovered that in fact I was a mystic in 2005, but that I had truly been so since my teens ( or longer). On my blog litebeing chronicles, the original subtitle was Adventures of a part time mystic. I know I will find inspiration here!

    peace,
    litebeing

  17. HI Jessica, I just stumbled upon your website. I awakened a few years ago because of a trauma, it took me a while to sort everything out. Now, I am running into more and more awakened people. I am an author as well. My first book, Detour from Normal (2013) recounts my life saving surgery and how it resulted in chemically induced mania. Long story short, I became awakened during that time. If you don’t already know Vironika Tugeleva, she is a sort of ring leader who is connecting awakened people. You can contact her via her website: Vironika.org or via therealus.com, her other website where people post inspiring stories. She may ask you to post your story. I have two articles there. Anyway, I’d love to speak with you more and learn about your journey.

    Sincerely,
    Ken Dickson

    1. Hi Ken, I’ve had a quick look at your website and your story sounds fascinating. There are many people who could benefit from reading it. It’s a hard journey to take, from thinking you’re fine, the descent into madness, and then coming out the other side. I’m glad you found your way through. Vironika’s site looks interesting too and I might think about writing something for the Real Us. There’s a few posts on this site about parts of my process of awakening, but I haven’t written it out in full – partly because it started over 20 years ago and that’s a lot of material! It can be a long journey with lots of ups and downs, but we all get there in the end.

      I wish you all the best on your journey, and thanks for stopping by.
      Jes
