Astrology connects us to the narratives we write to survive.
Astrology is the story of stories.
Western astrology is itself a colonial imposition on the skies, its history one of assimilation, theft, and devaluing of traditional knowledge.
A queer astrology, a relational astrology, wrangles with its own history, recognizes its complicity, holds space for discomfort, and necessitates humility.
I live and work in acknowledgement, gratitude, and grace:
To be birthed and sustained on the flatlands and under the big skies of southern Manitoba, the traditional lands of Anishinaabeg, Cree, Oji-Cree, Assiniboine, Dakota, and Dene Peoples, the homeland of the Métis Nation.
To learn and listen to the echoes of the rapids in Nogojiwanong, Peterborough, ON, traditional territory of Anishinaabe and Algonquin Peoples. To love and care in the meeting place of Toronto, the traditional territory of the Mississaugas of New Credit First Nation, the Haudenosaunee, and the Huron-Wendat.
To wonder and heal in Victoria, BC, located on the land of the Lkwungen-speaking peoples, the Songhees, Esquimalt and WSÁNEĆ peoples.
To dance and teach in the gathering place of Montreal, stewarded by the Kanien’kehá:ka (Mohawk) of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy.
