A Humble Reflection on My Path: Astrology, Yoga, and Ayurveda

Astrology was my first devotional practice—long before I ever stepped onto a yoga mat, held a mala, or opened an Ayurvedic text. I fell in love with it when I was about twelve years old. At that age, I didn’t have the words for spirituality, lineage, or devotion.

But I knew the sky spoke.

Astrology became my quiet refuge.

My first teacher.

My earliest language of meaning.

It helped me make sense of the world long before I had the tools to make sense of myself. I would sit with books, charts, and symbols and feel something ancient inside me awaken. Over time, this childhood curiosity became a practice—something I returned to during every season of my life.

Decades later, when I entered Heather’s two-year astrology program (which I completed in 2024), it was not to become “more knowledgeable,” but to deepen that original devotion.

Her program offered structure, humility, and reverence for the craft.

She teaches astrology as a living, breathing art form—one that honors the sky instead of conquering it.

Those two years didn’t just expand what I knew.

They softened how I knew—inviting intuition, embodiment, and maturity into my relationship with the chart.

Studying with Heather helped me understand astrology not only as a system, but as a sacred mirror—one that reveals the soul’s curriculum and the truth we are meant to remember.

The Ascendant: The First Breath of Your Becoming

One teaching that reshaped everything for me was the true power of the Ascendant.

Your Rising Sign is the imprint of your very first breath.

It is the energetic signature the universe stamped on you the moment you entered this incarnation.

The Ascendant:

• shapes your presence,

• expresses your instinctive nature,

• determines the flow of your entire chart,

• and reveals which planet becomes your chart ruler—the most influential planet in your life’s blueprint.

Because the Rising Sign rules all twelve houses, it organizes the curriculum of your entire lifetime. It is the doorway your soul chose to walk through—your first call to embodiment.

Understanding the Ascendant is understanding the essence of who you are becoming.

This is why astrology and yoga speak so beautifully to one another:

both are practices of remembering the Self.

The Feminine Divine Trinity: Astrology, Yoga, and Ayurveda

Over time, I came to see three practices as the trinity of my spiritual path—the feminine divine expressed as a triad of wisdom:

Astrology — the celestial body

the soul’s language, the map of karma, the divine timing of our becoming.

Yoga — the physical body

the embodiment of spirit, the breath of awareness, the path of union and return.

Ayurveda — the elemental body

the rhythms of nature, the wisdom of balance, the medicine of living in harmony.

Together, they form the basis of my life’s work.

They are the pillars of how I teach, heal, and serve.

I see them not as separate modalities, but as one universal spiritual lineage—three expressions of the same sacred intelligence.

Each one speaks to a different layer of the human experience:

• Astrology speaks to the soul.

• Yoga speaks to the body.

• Ayurveda speaks to the life force itself.

When you weave them together, you receive a complete, living system of healing—rooted in devotion, grounded in nature, and aligned with the universal laws.

This is the framework I bring to my students, my clients, and my own personal practice:

a spirituality that is spacious, timeless, and inclusive.

In My Work Today

Because astrology was my first devotion…

Because yoga became my breath…

Because Ayurveda became my rhythm…

I now see them as one unified spiritual path—

a feminine triad of healing that honors the body, the soul, and the sacred in all things.

This trinity informs every class I teach, every reading I give, every season of my own healing.

And more than anything, it continues to guide me home to myself.
