HANDBOOK
I'm an Astrologer and the founder of Temple of Cosmic Astrology
School. I'm passionate about teaching others the skills to divine the
language of the cosmos, and to empower the individual to grow and
evolve in alignment with their own sacred, cosmic blueprint.
I've created this resource book as your go-to for all things astrology, to
support your self-learning. I often get asked my favourite books, blogs,
apps etc, so I've decided to collate them all here for students as a
resource for astrologers, by an astrologer.

Finally, don't make assumptions! Astrology texts can give a framework
and foundation for interpretation, but no two clients are alike, even if they
share placements. A good astrologer will know how to translate the chart

generalise, assume or mislabel. A good astrologer is a cosmic counsellor,
not a fortune teller. A good astrologer will leave you feeling empowered,
understood and seen in your humanness and your spirit. A good
astrologer will support you in your own growth and self-development.

TESTIMONIALS
When I first met Katie it was her approach that
caught my eye! I loved the way she incorporated an
ancient tool like Astrology and applied it to the shift
currently happening on planet Earth. My question
to myself was how do I take the lessons and thread
from the many planets in the cosmos and let it
guide me on my ascension journey; Katie knew
how. I was hooked and so impressed that when I
was guided to create the Warriors of Light Council,
she was the ONLY astrologer that came to mind
without a doubt. Her approach to astrology is
unique, straight to the point and comes from innate
and learned knowledge and wisdom over the span
of her life. She is my astrology teacher and mentor
and there is no one else that bridges the planets
and earth better than Katie. She's the New Earth
Astrologer!"
