Hi! My name is Sarah! Welcome to Studio Chariklo,

My main focus at Studio Chariklo is Intuitive Astrology, but I am also a compassionate counselor, Minister of Walking Prayer, and an End-of-Life advocate with Orcas Threshold Collective. Under the studio name, I also pursue writing and illustration. The physical space allows me to create beautiful interiors and collections of art and craft. Additionally, I feel passionate about conscious mothering and raising my children in places where they have little stigma and can think freely. We educate our kids in a mixture of un-schooling and world-schooling. It is also an important part of my life to facilitate dance and community singing.

Astrology is the apex of my work and ties together all the things that bring me great joy: to be of service, to listen to folks' life stories, to make sense of behaviours through archetypes, and to remember to trust over and over again in the great mystery.

I dedicated myself to formal astrological study in 2017, and I am indebted to my teachers, their teachers, and the lineage of the stars and planets themselves. Thank you to John McLaughlin, Virginia Rosenberg, Tyler Penor, Kira Sutherland, Sibyl Star, and Linda Moon Zlotnik.

I was born in the southwest of England and grew up in rural Somerset and Dublin, Ireland. I now live in the Pacific Northwest of the USA.
