Hi! I’m Catherine Urban, a professional astrologer certified with top accreditation by the National Council for Geocosmic Research (NCGR-PAA IV) and the International Society for Astrological Research (ISAR-CAP). My astrological fascination began as a young girl quietly peering into the small section of astrology books at my local library. I bought my first books on astrology when I was in 6th grade, which expanded my world into Moon signs and elemental compatibility (which totally validated mine and my friends’ crushes).

My astrological studies leaped to the next level in 2009 while I was living in NYC. Back then, classes were offered in my teachers’ apartments. I attended several classes each week and obsessively read every book I could get my hands on. After attending my first astrology conference in 2010, I realized astrology could be more than a hobby for me; it could be my lifestyle and career.

I eventually cast my anchor down in Cleveland where I now teach astrology and maintain a growing consulting practice. As a former hairstylist, building relationships with my clients has always been a highly meaningful aspect of my work. In both fields, I have dabbled in alchemy, facilitating catalytic shifts for others and helping them connect with their true essence. I love helping my clients gain more clarity and confidence in themselves and on their path.

Astrology never ceases to amaze me with its power to affirm our experiences both past, present and future. Astrology tells us what time it is in our lives. It provides powerful framework for helping us understand our personal periods of trial, evolution and growth. Astrology is an ally and a compass. I love witnessing how astrology illuminates the path forward for everyone I work with.

For many years, I served on my local astrology board (LCAA), which gave me my first shot at offering astrology lectures. From there, I began lecturing at regional conferences including the Great Lakes Astrology Conference and The Astrology Gathering in Lily Dale, NY. I’ve offered lectures for various NCGR conferences and chapters, IAA (International Academy of Astrology), AYA (Association for Young Astrologers) and Stormie Grace’s YouTube Academy. I’ve also enjoyed the high honor of guest teaching for Adam Elenbaas’s school, Nightlight Astrology and have repeatedly appeared as a guest on Chris Brennan’s award-winning show, The Astrology Podcast. I began offering classes and courses locally in 2019, which evolved into my monthly astrology group, Cauldron (currently on hiatus).

My astrological intrigue and obsession continues to this day. I truly believe that we are never done learning - both within the tradition, and as spiritual beings having a human experience. I’ve been making my way through various ancient astrological texts (some 2000 years old!) and continue to study with astrological teachers, mentors and colleagues who inspire me. I completed STA (School of Traditional Astrology)’s Horary course in 2020, spent two years learning Hermetic teachings and celestial magic from Gary Caton, and more recently, I have been learning a lot from the medieval tradition under the teachings of Dr. Ali A. Olomi.

Writing is another important aspect of my astrological devotion. For many years, I wrote horoscopes for BonAppetit.com and Domino.com, which led to the authoring of my book, Your Astrological Cookbook: the perfect recipe for every sign, published by Simon & Schuster in 2019. For several years, I wrote thoughtful research pieces for for NCGR’s quarterly Memberletter.

I began writing daily horoscopes one decade ago and I have not stopped forecasting since. Over time, my horoscopes have shifted into video format. I miss the ritual of writing, but at this stage of my life. I do not have the space. I look forward to rekindling this love later, but for now, you can catch my weekly forecasts, Astrology Shot of the Day on YouTube and Instagram.

Aside from astrology, the brightest light in my life is my family. I have a 4 year-old Taurus and 2-year old Aquarius who have completely stolen my heart! I am also married to an Aquarius— my husband Eli (thankfully) edits all of my astrology videos. There’s never a dull moment in our house. We love cooking, dancing, creating, crafting, swimming and going for walks together.

I am a full-time parent, which means that for right now, most of my consultations and classes occur in the evening. If you’re in a time zone which makes it difficult to connect during my regular times, please reach out and I will do my best to accommodate you!

My life has always been one of spiritual seeking and striving to make sense of our existence. The macrocosm of astrology offers us an invaluable tool to better understand ourselves, each other and our place in this universe, here, now and through the echoes of time.   

I truly look forward to connecting with you on your chart!
