Cosmic Latte brings the stars down to earth, so that you can anchor in the human experience and unearth layers of self-understanding.

Our mission is to demystify abstract, nebulous concepts to root you in wisdom. Astrology is a conversation between who you are and who you came to be, who you wish you were and who you’ve always been. Astrology is a tool that takes a magnifying lens to your soul’s framework, potential paths, and journey. 

Astrology’s nonjudgmental nature empowers us to work with our shadow side just as much as our light.

We all can intimately connect to the cosmos. Although the stars exist outside of us, they impact us on an everyday, earthly level. The cosmos inspire self-recognition—this is who you are!—to which you can’t help but find your shadow side an endearing or unobtrusive part of yourself. The language of the stars allows us to move aside our fragile egos to pave neutral grounds for self-reflection, self-acceptance, and self-compassion.

The sky is a mirror for our human experience. We connect by recognizing ourselves in the mirror of others, in the universe experiencing itself.

Everyone wants to feel—and be—understood. Astrology helps us understand each other.

In most social interactions, aspects of ourselves remain hidden, out of view, just below the surface. “What can you know about a person? They shift in the light. You can’t light up all sides at once. Add
 a second light and you get a second darkness, it’s only
 fair.” — Richard Silken, War of the Foxes.

Astrology cuts through the surface and connects us through unusual, organic conversations. How do you process emotions? Are you more or less sensitive than people around you? What do you think about a lot? Do you daydream?  Both in my birth chart readings and everyday interactions, the energy shifts and softens when we touch on astrology.

Astrology is a way of saying, I see you. I understand you. And here’s a little something about me that you should know, too.

Astrology is camaraderie with strangers, connection with colleagues, and expansion with friends. I’ve bonded over astrology at work, in bars, in clubs, on dates, at dinner parties, on the Internet, in foreign countries. I’ve bonded both with people I instantly clicked with and with people I didn’t click with until discussing astrology. 

A favorite New Yorker article of mine describes this phenomenon best:  

“Astrology is currently enjoying a broad cultural acceptance that hasn’t been seen since the nineteen-seventies. […] Astrology is a little like psychoanalysis once was. At mid-century, you might have heard talk of id, ego, or superego at a party; now it’s common to hear someone explain [themselves] by way of sun, moon, and rising signs. It’s not just that you hear it. It’s who’s saying it: people who aren’t kooks or climate-change deniers, who see no contradiction between using astrology and believing in science. The change is fueling a new generation of practitioners.” 

Astrology is ancient wisdom that can be refreshed and used in modern contexts.

Nothing, though, is new. For example, we can only really understand someone because a part of our inner being is reflected in their words or actions. With astrology, we recognize existing or old parts of ourselves in others—and, in the process, understand ourselves more intimately.

It started with a simple, curious question: “what’s your sign?”

I began asking everyone this question—and I do mean everyone—and it wasn’t long until patterns revealed themselves to me.

For example, it turns out friend groups are a constellation of similar elements and zodiac signs. The same goes for families. We’re drawn to familiar energies at a curiously cosmic level, whether we realize it or not.

Another example: nowadays, I can guess a music artist’s Venus sign based on a few lines from a song, or guess an author’s sun sign from a chapter in a book. I can intuit a client’s current or dream professional path based on their birth chart (“you’re a freelance copywriter,” “you definitely majored in philosophy,” “you work for a nonprofit,” “you’ve always wanted to write a book,” and so on). I can pinpoint the pattern you keep experiencing with partners, friends, or family.

Astrology is not divination but observation—built upon observations collected over thousands of years.

I learned astrology through absorbing everyday interactions and matching them to other sources. Someone long before me noticed that individuals born when the sun was in Gemini grew up to possess mental acuity, curious intellect, and strong communication skills. My own real-life experiences confirmed that, and I’ve been able to run with the idea and sprinkle in my own observed nuances.

Astrological predictions are no more supernatural than weather forecasts. Like forecasting the weather, astrology is based on data collection and pattern recognition. In the same way that a clock shows time (it does not create time), planetary movements mark the passage of events, and astrologers collect the data. This does not take away from the beautiful mystique of the universe revealing itself to us through symbols and celestial bodies.

I could tell you I earned a degree in psychology, or I could just tell you I have three personal Virgo placements and Saturn in the 8th house. Either way, my astrology path was born from an inquisitive pull to make sense of the human experience. We can’t heal and grow as individuals, and as a collective, if we don’t understand ourselves.

Once you see the world through a cosmic lens, you can’t unsee it.

When you speak the language of the stars, you unlock everyday deeper purpose and meaning. I became an astrologer so I could teach you the language of the stars and root you in the wisdom of our earthly experiences.

At the same time that I was unraveling my passion for astrology, I was also experiencing my first karmic cycle (or, rather, the first one I was conscious of).

The same experiences kept repeating in a cosmic loop, to the point where I couldn’t ignore the pattern in plain sight. For the first time in my life, I paused and wondered, what is this showing me? instead of why is this happening to me?  For the first time in my life, I began an ongoing conversation with the universe—one in which I asked for guidance and started receiving answers.

Spiritual journeys come in phases, as you might know if you’re in the midst of your own journey and reading this. Ever since that initial tipping point, I’ve been in periods of intense learning about a new philosophy.

I’m still very much on my journey.

My vision for Cosmic Latte is to create soul-nourishing content that sparks and kindles curiosity along your path. This is a space where our paths can converge or run parallel, together.

For years, I’ve felt an itch to create something. This something has always felt tip-of-the-tongue, just out of my mind’s reach. After years of artistic wandering, creating Cosmic Latte has been the most special, soul-expanding experience.

In her book Big Magic, Elizabeth Gilbert describes ideas as living entities that exist outside of humans. We’re responsible for tuning into these nebulous, already-existing-but-not-yet-formed ideas. Then, we must grasp them and actively co-create with the universe.

Although Cosmic Latte officially launched in 2021, I would argue the idea stirred many years before. I first caught glimpse of Cosmic Latte back in 2018. This was before my spiritual journey unfolded, and even before my more structured study of astrology began. Without quite knowing why, I saved the domain, thecosmiclatte.com. I thought Cosmic Latte would be a personal blog about lifestyle and self-care, and was in genuine disbelief when my psychic best friend told me she clairvoyantly saw me as a predictive astrologer in the future.

In February 2021, I saw an Instagram ad for a notebook: Your future self is talking sh*t about you, the ad said. They’re saying you’re wasting your creativity.

I started working on my creative vision again that very day, and haven’t stopped working on Cosmic Latte for a single day since.

Each day, my inner fire is fueled to build the very platform I would’ve been over-the-moon to consume at the start of my own astrology journey.
