Guides

Some of you may want a guide or companions on the journey. I am thrilled to share with you guides who not only understand the work that is presented in the workbook, but also have others tools that add new dimensions to the work.

If you want to work with a group of like-minded folks or be guided one-on-one through the work of Finding Your Role in the Awakening, here are your guides—brilliant, talented and kind, these astrologers have studied with me for over 2 years (and some for decades). They have completed xxxx hours of study in my Arcturus Speaks mentorship program.

Chelsie Papiez

Chelsie is a heart-centered astrologer and mentor. Her passion is helping people discover and claim their purpose through one-to-one sessions and in small groups. She works with creatives, entrepreneurs, and wild-hearted souls ready to thrive. Through her astrology mentoring and astroconstellations, deep attunement to purpose is discovered and forward movement is created. Using astroconstellations, birth and business charts are used to help reveal what has been hidden, the undercurrent that has blocked us from reaching our full potential. Working together, the block is followed until it feels visible and ready for the healing movement. This approach can provide deep ancestral healing and create freedom for your forward movement into something new and more aligned.

Are you ready to realign to the pulse of the earth and the wonder of the cosmos? Let’s come together and sit in the mystery and awe of being human on this planet at this time.

Ingrid Abbate

Ingrid Abbate, she/her, is home amongst the Firs and Alders of the Pacific Northwest, on unceded Nisqually Squaxin lands, in Olympia, Washington. She weaves together many healing arts modalities, including astrology, Italian folk medicine and magic, place based community herbalism, and bodywork/massage therapy. She has been a student of plants and working as an herbalist in her community for over 20 years and a bodyworker for 15 years.

As a queer person with European settler ancestry from Italy, Poland, and Germany, she strives to work within an anti-colonial and anti-racist framework and lens. She was raised by her first generation Italian/Polish immigrants on her fathers side, drawing her towards connecting deeper to those roots through food, medicine, and folk/animistic spiritual practices.

She has been trained and supported over the years in her work by Joyce Netishen (Herbalist/Fire Rose Farm) Elise Krohn (Wild plants and foods educator) Elizabeth Campbell (Herbalist,Spokane/Kalipsel), Zel Amamzi (Transgressive Medicine), Lisa Fazio (Italian Folk Magic/The Root Circle) and Rosie Finn (Astrologer).

Her approach to astrology is centrally Hellenistic/Traditional, working with whole signs and traditional rulerships. She incorporates some modern techniques when they feel useful, pulling in the Placidus house system for more accurate timing of specific events or working with the outer planets for deeper insights into cycles and patterns. Her goal is to translate planetary guidance to aid in self-liberation, better alignment with your soul work, and deeper understanding of your work in relationship and community. We look at your birth chart, as well as past and future astrological weather, to get a sense of your purpose, journey, and timing.

She offers remote and in person readings, as well as astrology-body work fusion sessions.

Marie Poland

mairepoland.com

Marie Poland has been studying astrology with Rosie Finn for the past 25 years. Her intrigue with astrology ~ and the amazing nature of each of us as unique humans ~ began when she was a child.

Drawing from 25 years of study with Rosie Finn, Marie brings Rosie’s Pluto Out of Bounds framework into her readings, helping illuminate not only your individual chart and current transits, but how your own journey intersects with the larger cycles unfolding in the world around us.

Currently, life as we have known it is shifting at a rapid rate both personally and globally.

Marie believes we were made for these times, and that each of us came here with a specific role to play.

Part of the journey is learning to recognize what life is asking of us and when. Timing is everything, and learning to trust that timing is key.

Astrology helps us see the cycles at work in our lives and in the world around us. It can raise our awareness so we don’t miss the opportune moments, now or in the future, to engage with the areas of life the celestial bodies are nudging us toward. The cycles also include inevitable ups & downs which provide us with a greater understanding of life itself. Learning to trust that even the more challenging transits have something to teach us or ask of us.

Marie believes we each have a role in the collective weaving of a new world that is taking place. Rosie’s Pluto Out of Bounds work has been integral to her understanding of our individual roles during these revolutionary times.

During the great changes ahead, some of us will continue to work quietly behind the scenes. Some will be teachers and some students. Others will weave groups of people together and help form larger movements. No one’s role is less important than another’s. What matters is our willingness to step in- to engage with whatever unique calling is alive within each of us.

As each of us weaves the unique thread of our gifts into the larger tapestry, the fabric becomes stronger and more resilient. Together, we are creating what comes next.

Whether a reading instills a deeper trust in yourself, brings clarity to the next steps in your life, or helps you understand the larger cycles you are moving through, Marie’s hope is that your time together leaves you feeling more enlivened, empowered, and ready to live more fully into who you are here to be.

In addition to her study of astrology and Pluto Out of Bounds with Rosie, Marie has studied somatic presence for more than 10 years through the Embodied Essence Teachings, as well as energy cultivation, cycling, and movement practices through Tao Tantric Arts. These practices inform the grounded, embodied way she approaches astrology and the people she works with.

For Marie, astrology is ultimately not about being told who you are or what will happen. It is a way of seeing more clearly, of recognizing the particular gifts, timing, and role that are yours, and meeting your life with greater awareness and willingness to participate.

Marie offers one-on-one astrology readings, as well as readings for couples and small groups. She also has a particular love for Astro Ritual Theatre, an embodied form of astrological theatre she created years ago to bring the archetypes and energies of astrology to life.

Marie will also be offering classes inspired by Rosie Finn’s book, Finding Your Role in the Awakening, exploring how astrology can help us better understand our unique gifts, our timing, and the roles we may be here to play during these changing times.

May all beings know peace.

May we know that we belong.

May awareness increase.

May we awaken to the love that we already are.

Rachel Ver Valin

Rachel VerValin is an astrologer, yoga teacher, and energy worker who believes that deeper self-understanding creates a more empowered and connected life. Her approach to astrology is grounded, curious, and compassionate - using the birth chart not as a set of rules about who you are, but as a tool for understanding your patterns, your strengths, and the seasons of life you’re moving through.

Rachel helps her clients recognize when life may be asking a little more of them, find meaning in the moments that feel challenging, and reconnect with the wisdom they already carry. For her, astrology isn’t about predicting the future, it’s about knowing yourself more deeply so you can meet your life with greater intention, trust, and choice.

Shanna Williams

Shanna Williams is a trauma-informed somatic coach and bodyworker, astrologer, grief educator, and regenerative farmer whose work explores the intersection of astrology, embodiment, self-trust, and what it means to live a deeply authentic and meaningful life.

Through astrology and somatic practice, Shanna supports people in developing a deeper relationship with themselves—using the birth chart not as a set of fixed answers, but as a living tool for self-discovery, reflection, and remembering the wisdom already within them. Her work invites people beyond intellectually understanding who they are and into an embodied experience of themselves: learning to listen to the language of their bodies, recognize the patterns and conditioning that have shaped them, and discern what is truly theirs from what they have learned they need to be.

At the heart of her approach is a curiosity about our authentic shape—the ways we naturally move, create, connect, feel, desire, and orient toward life when given the space to be fully ourselves. By weaving astrology with nervous system care and somatic practice, Shanna helps people gently unravel inherited beliefs, societal expectations, and protective patterns while building the self-trust and capacity to inhabit more of who they actually are.

Shanna has studied astrology extensively with Rosie Finn, Debra Silverman, and Rakai’el Webb, and is currently deepening her studies through mentorship with Renee Sills. Drawing from psychological, evolutionary, and embodied approaches to astrology, she brings both depth and curiosity to the way she works with the birth chart.

Through 1:1 sessions, mentorship, classes, and group spaces, Shanna supports people through seasons of change, grief, growth, and transformation while helping them develop their own relationship with astrology—learning to read and trust their charts as a resource they can return to again and again.

At the heart of Shanna’s work is a devotion to honoring the full spectrum of the human experience and the belief that purpose is not something outside of us to find, but something that becomes clearer as we shed what was never ours, deepen into our authentic shape, and learn to trust the wisdom already living within us.

Sheri Howe

Sheri has a deep love for helping others in their journey of healing. We come into this life with a wound that we wish to heal, and combining Shamanism with Astrology, she identifies areas where opportunity lives in your astrology chart that will support the healing process.

Sheri relies mainly on Western astrology. In addition to the option of working with the healing journey, she offers standard readings based on the your desired area of focus.

Rosie Finn has been her primary teacher, and Sheri continues to study and participate in workshops to deepen and enhance her work. She was drawn – nearly obsessively – to Rosie’s extensive work on Pluto’s journey and the unique times we are living in during Pluto’s current transit through Aquarius. She looks forward to offering “Finding Your Role in the Awakening” workshops in the near future, and discovering ways to incorporate Shamanism into the work.

A certified Shamanic practitioner, Sheri also offers healing sessions using the your astrology chart to inform and guide the session. She was formally trained in Washington State by Michelle McKinney, who was trained by Sandra Ingerman and Michael Harner.
