About
Hi and welcome to my site. My name is Leah Whitehorse and I created Lua as a space to share what I have learned so far as an astrologer.
I am a co-author of Spellcaster: Spellcaster: Seven Ways to Effective Magic
As a child I was fascinated by dreams. I used to have a re-occuring dream of an old man with a long white beard who pointed to the sky and showed me how the stars moved. My grandmother was a medium (although a reluctant one!) and used to buy Old Moores Almanac religiously every year. Her Grandmother was Romany and despite never really knowing her, many of her Gypsy ways were passed down through the family. My Grandmother taught me about folklore and plants and I would watch fascinated as wild birds tapped on her window and followed her round the garden. She bought me my first set of ‘fortune telling cards’ (Madame Lenormand) and a silver zodiac pendant. She talked of seeing pictures in clouds, omens of the moon and grounded me in superstition.
As an adult I have worked as clairvoyant, learned Reiki and Shamanic healing, written a Pagan album of music, studied tarot, runes, dreams, symbolism and crystals as well as astrology, given talks and held workshops on a variety of magical topics and walked the path of the Hedgewitch.
To me an astrology chart is like a fractal. It contains the same image from the greater pattern within it “As above, so below”. We have free will but if we chose to embrace what our chart can teach us then it’s like tuning into a song that will sing us home. There are no bad charts. Everyone has their gifts and challenges. It is how we use the energies that matters.
If you are curious, I have a Taurus Sun, Moon in Aquarius and a stellium in Aries in the 9th house. I also have a ‘Finger of God’ (yod) configuration that points to Mercury in the 9th house. With this and the Sabian symbol “ The Constellations Of Stars Shine Brilliantly In The Night Sky” as my rising degree and Uranus in the 2nd house it is perhaps unsurprising that I have passion for Astrology!
Lua is a culmination of everything I have learned so far. Lua by the way means Moon in Portuguese. If you would like to find out more about my passion for Portugal and the Portuguese language (that’ll be my 9th house talking again!) please take a look at my other website In Love With Lisbon. My wish is to share what I have learned so far on this journey in the hope that it will aid and inspire you along your own path. I do not profess to have all the answers. I can only answer according to what I have learned so far and I’m still learning.
I love to hear from other star-seekers. Please feel free to email me or comment. Discussion is always welcome under the light of the silvery moon.
