Kathryn Connolly says she speaks three languages: English, French and Astrology. Since ancient times, people have followed the maxim “as above, so below” and looked to the sky
to find meaning and patterns in their lives. Kathryn describes Astrology in terms of deciphering a symbolic language. “There’s something about symbols,” she says, “because there’s no right
or wrong about it, that helps you to bypass the mind and get to a deeper place.” She has studied the subject for thirty years and has been a practicing Astrologer for over fifteen. While
people may have pre-conceived notions about the practice as a form of occult fortune-telling, she explains that her approach is much more subtle and intuitive: “I think it’s important to take
time out and actually focus on how you’re doing in life. What is working for you? Where are you tied up in knots and where are you living to your full potential? The chart is a map or a guide
that can help you navigate through some of the rough spots or take charge when you really need to go ahead. Most of us know who we really are but due to conditioning or external events we don’t go in the direction we should.”
Kathryn’s “Life Check-In Sessions” take the Astrological birth chart as a starting point for a cooperative exploration of the subtle energy that may be affecting a person’s life. “The chart
will guide me,” she says of the process. “There are always hotspots in the chart and areas that are harmonious. I can see that without the person being there but there’s a synergy that happens when you sit down and talk to people.” In addition to her experience as an Astrologer, she has also pursued intensive training as a counselor at the University of Victoria and has a B.A. in Communications from Concordia University in Montreal. Her interest in human dynamics and relationship is apparent when she talks about what she does: “So what if I can predict that you will meet someone in the next six months if the last three relationships have crashed and burned? I’m more interested in helping you understand what you can do when you meet somebody so that it doesn’t crash and burn.”
Kathryn has been visiting the Wolfville area for a long time. She has already experienced a lot of what the town has to offer including lectures at Acadia, the Vegetarian Lunchbox, the Acadia Cinema, Jack’s Gallery, and the Farmer’s Market. She likes the “local, organic community” and the fact that gatherings tend to have people from all ages and walks of life. In
her spare time, she enjoys “copious amounts of reading” and is currently studying Holistic Nutrition with the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition. She is also an elite Scrabble player, a game she started playing seriously while she was a student at UVIC.
