Meet Jared
My journey with Evolutionary Astrology began in 2018 while navigating the aftermath of a serious eye infection that permanently damaged the vision in my left eye. Compounded with other challenges surfacing at the time, I felt like my world was dissolving beneath my feet, and I turned to astrology for answers.
My first reading was profound, and inspired me to have many more astrological counseling sessions over the following years. Each one invited me to confront myself in both light and in shadow. More than self-knowledge, the insights I gained gave me a new level of self-intimacy that transformed the way I related to myself and to my life.
In January 2021 I joined Michael DeBaker’s EA School Online and began an in-depth training for this work. By July 2023 I became a certified Evolutionary Astrologer and Inner Moonlight Astrology was born. I am continuing my studies with the EA School Online through 2025, exploring the integration of Evolutionary Astrology with Existential Psychotherapy.
Inner Moonlight is inspired by my experiences in learning to listen to my intuition and trust what it’s telling me. Over the years, I had to learn that my intuition is not only valid— it’s vital. And many people— including astrologers— will offer opinions or advice, but only I can speak for what I feel is true for me.
As an astrologer, I see myself as an interpreter of symbols offering reflections for you to consider. However what is of greatest value is what those reflections activate within you. How did it resonate? What was illuminated for you to see?
Inner Moonlight is about aligning with your essence and deeply listening to what your heart is telling you. In so doing, you can embrace the honesty of who you really are. It’s my hope is that working with your astrology chart could help you form a deeper relationship with what is sacred within you.
Alongside astrology, I’m passionate about painting, traveling, truth-seeking, and natural health.
I’m also currently training to become a certified breathwork facilitator, and look forward to offering breathwork sessions alongside astrology readings in late 2025.
I have Pluto in the 9th house Scorpio, the North Node in the 12th house Capricorn, and my moon is a skipped step. ;)
Thank you for reading. With gratitude,
-Jared
