Hello friends and neighbors!

My goodness how time fly's. As many of you know,I sold Dancing Willow Herbs three years ago (good grief) and have taken a very long personal and professional sabbatical to reflect, embrace life, further my education, and delve into areas that I had little time to devote any real focus or energy into while running Dancing Willow. Since selling the herb shop, I have come to realize just how much I have missed my interactions with, and my contribution to the community. The warmth and nurturance that occurred by being available to each of you as your village herbalist, and the circle of well-being that is fed back when one is in service, fills my heart and feeds my soul.



Many of you already know that Astrology has been a passion of mine for as long as I have been passionate about herbs, which is a very long time going back to my childhood. Yes, even as a child, I was fascinated by the unseen world. A world fueled by spirituality, mystery, magic, and the practicality and rightness of the earth. What a better combination than to draw on an ancient tradition that gives us insight into our physical reality as well as the undercurrents of our emotional, familial, and spiritual life. In short, the foundation of astrology is a cosmic blueprint, a map, so to speak, that is imprinted at the moment we are born and then cast for that time, location, and date. The astronomical pattern at that time tells a story of stellar influences and how they very specifically and uniquely pertain to each individual. In many ways, it can be compared to a fingerprint—very unique to you.

Your individual chart is looked at for insight and understanding around areas such as your psychological makeup, your physical well-being, family dynamics, who are the key players in your life and what you can gain from understanding the role that each individual plays and has played in your life. Issues of interpersonal relationships, love, marriage, friendship, finances, prosperity, (or lack thereof) vocation, and creative potential are often exposed and then able to be explored deeper and better understood. All in all, some of life's biggest questions can be brought closer to the surface by looking at the natal chart. This can be a very powerful and enlightening experience, one which can help us gain a better understanding of who we are and that big question, why?

Yes, It is now time for me to be of service to my community once again and with that, I am excited to be offering astrology readings full time in addition to and along with my herbal practice that so many of you came to rely on and are familiar with.

It is my hope and desire to help awaken your desire for wholeness and assist you in your pursuit of health and self-knowledge. I invite and encourage you to email me with questions and curiosity's regarding the scope of my practice and explore the integration I have to offer of whole self, whole health, and personal growth.

With my deepest gratitude and love, Deb Swanson
