Linda has always had a fascination of the stars and
as a child could identify the plough. In the early
80’s, she visited India and learnt about the planet
of the day and the Indian’s fascination with astrology.
On her return, she met a group of astrologers who read
her chart and recommended a few books to read and from
that point onwards there was no looking back.
Linda began her study of astrology with an ILEA adult
course and then went on to study with the Faculty of
Astrology. She holds a qualification in chart calculations,
with distinctions. For five years, she worked as a
volunteer for the astrology study centre, Urania Trust,
answering queries about astrology and helping to sort
out the library.
In 1990, Linda went to her first Rainbow Circle Astrology
Camp and gave workshops the following year. This eventually
led to her being a coordinator of the Astrology Camp.
She was also part of a group who had astrological supervision
and under went two years of personal counselling with
an astrological councillor.
Over the past 17 years, she has run numerous astrology
groups and experimental workshops, including astrodrama.
She works with the planet of the day and helps people
to connect to their charts by making astrological shrines.
By building a shrine to a particular planet, Linda
helps ground the energy and encourages a personal contact
with that planet, especially helpful when experiencing
a difficult transit.
Linda has visited many sacred sites in England, Europe
and worldwide, which has enhanced her knowledge and
understanding of astrology and astronomy and helped
her connect to the cycle of the seasons. Astrology
is very much part of her every day life.
Recently, Linda has trained as a bereavement volunteer
and uses these skills in her astrological work. She
works with the Wheel of Astrologers doing personal
readings at festivals such as Glastonbury and the Big
Green Gathering and also works as an astrologer at
various different camps.
Linda gives professional chart readings
from her home and over the phone and helps run an astrology
group in Hereford and has written for the Moonthly
Forecast since 2006.
