My Astrology Practice

I am a traditional astrologer, grounding my interpretations in concepts like whole sign houses, aspects, sect, lots, and triplicities. I do not use asteroids, minor aspects, or place special emphasis on lunar nodes, nor do I view charts solely through a psychological lens. While I incorporate outer planets, I do so without assigning them rulership.

My approach blends traditional techniques with psychological and energetic insights when appropriate, rather than adhering strictly to causal or circumstantial interpretations typical of orthodox astrology.

I enjoy both teaching astrology and offering natal (birth chart) consultations. Additionally, I specialize in electional astrology, helping clients choose auspicious times to begin ventures such as businesses or marriages.

Alec is such a pleasure to learn from and with.  He is gracious and open and respectful with a deep knowledge and passion for astrology. If you have the opportunity to work and learn from his years of study, it is well worth it.”
