Welcome to Psychic Arts

This page describes my work as a psychic reader, astrologer (Western and Chinese forms), feng shui expert, hypnotherapist and life coach.  I am available for consultations and counseling in person and by telephone.

I have been living in Durham, North Carolina since 2003. I moved to Durham from New York City. Originally trained as a musician, I taught music at Princeton University and Oberlin College. My interest in the metaphysical sciences and arts began in 1970. I first learned to read Tarot cards in 1971 and took up reading them professionally in 1977. From there I studied astrology for seven years with Ivy Jacobson beginning in 1980. I was also one of Ivy's teaching assistants and have carried on a professional practice in astrology ever since. When studying with Ivy, and through her encouragement, I began an on-going career as a writer. In 1988 I took up a study of Chinese astrology and fengshui with Terry Lee in New York. I have been practicing and teaching Chinese astrology and fengshui ever since. I also trained in channeling in New York with the medium Alex Murray. Since 1999 I have been a member of OBOD (the Order of Bards, Ovates, and Druids), the most ancient bardic and druid order in the UK in which I was elected a full member in the Druid grade. In addition all to the above, I am a certified hypnotherapist and life coach.

I offer workshops in various areas of interest. I offer classes in Chinese astrology and fengshui and teach self-hypnosis to groups.

Click on Astrology and read descriptions of the various kinds of Western and Chinese astrological readings I offer. Through these readings I can help you gain a deeper understanding of yourself,  your character, your talents, your fortunes, your relationships, your past and present situations, and your future possibilities. Astrology can give you an objective understanding of yourself and other people in your life; it can help you over your subjective fears and views that may not always be realistic. Astrology will help you see clearly all the opportunities and pitfalls that may be coming up. It can also help determine a good place for you to move if you are thinking of relocating.  With astrology, I can help you plan winning strategies, point out when to act, when to start a business venture, when to sign a contract, when to get married, and so on. I can get the answer to whatever personal question you have. People find astrological readings illuminating. I have been practicing Western astrology since 1980 and Chinese astrology since 1988. I can do astrological chart readings in person, by telephone and by email.

Under Psychic Readings you will find out about the readings that I offer other than astrology. I have been giving psychic readings since 1978. I can do these kind of readings in person and by telephone. It is possible to relate findings by email as well.
