Greetings, Fellow Traveler!
I'm AliSun Trees, affectionately known in the forest as Auntie Owl. My journey as an astrologer has been one of synchronicity and surprise, guided by the stars and the whispers of the Earth.
Following the Cosmic Thread
The Universe responds to our wishes and prayers in the most auspicious of ways—blooming not a moment too soon, and never too late, but precisely when the time is ripe.
In 2012, I embarked on a personal and planetary Quest around the world—a sacred chapter of profound creativity and transformation. Though life in Ojai was incredibly sweet and deeply blessed, surrounded by an eclectic community of beloved teachers, healers, and soul allies, I began to feel a quiet longing stirring within me. A desire to experience the world in a new way—to live it, breathe it, and be shaped by it.
Most days in Ojai, you would find me in my art studio, painting mandalas and mystical visions that flowed from the unseen. Yet often, the winds of adventure would call me away—sometimes to assist at workshops with the radiant Shamanic Art Medicine Woman, Aviva Gold. At other times, I journeyed with a more wizardly companion, co-creating week-long retreats where we held space for visionary leaders to awaken, expand, and embody their truest essence in the world.
A New Cycle Begins
As new cycles often do, I began to feel a gentle nudge—a whisper on the wind—guiding me in a new direction. Curious and open-hearted, like the Fool of the Tarot, I packed light and followed the call, stepping into the unknown with wonder as my compass.
Traveling and living around the world for nearly four years became one of the most eye-opening, soul-shaking experiences of my life—of our life. Bear journeyed with me too. Some of you may remember our shared adventures chronicled on our travel site, Owl and Bear.
From planting potent seeds and prayers into the heart of a labyrinth in Maui, to wandering among the sacred mountains of Tepoztlán and San Miguel de Allende in Mexico… from the temples of Japan to the olive groves of Italy, the crystalline shores of Croatia, and many magical places between—signs and synchronicities were my constant companions, speaking in a language older than time.
One such moment arrived like a whisper on the wind—a burst of kismet that carried me into a spontaneous encounter with a young Mayan curandera. Her presence sparked something luminous, lighting me up from head to toe, as though every cell in my being remembered something ancient and true. In the sacred beauty of our exchange, a long lost thread stirred awake—soft, golden, and alive. A long-slumbering spark—quiet, cosmic, and knowing—flared to life.
A Cosmic Homecoming
In that moment, my connection to the celestial art of Astrology was not simply awakened, but remembered —not as something I had learned, but as something my soul had always known. It returned to me like starlight through the trees: timeless, eternal, and profoundly new.
Every sign and synchronicity imaginable began to emerge along my path—some subtle as a breeze, others extraordinary and impossible to ignore.
It soon became clear that the tapestry of my life was growing fuller, brighter, and more intricately woven with each new adventure. The more I opened myself to possibility, the more the Universe responded. Dreams filled with celestial patterns… scribbled astrological symbols that danced onto the edges of notebooks… books leaping from the shelves of new age bookstores into my arms—all of it whispered: this way.
Living in Ojai, where conversations often turn skyward and “star talk” is part of the daily rhythm, the signs continued. As I traveled, I encountered astrologers in the most unexpected of places—fellow travelers on the cosmic road. And with every step, I could feel the gentle gravitational pull of the stars weaving their golden thread through the backdrop of my life.
From quiet villages to ancient towns, from sacred pyramids to moonlit temples… I was being steeped in the mysteries of the heavens. Planting prayers into the quantum field of labyrinths, mosques, and sanctuaries, I wasn’t just learning Astrology—I was living it.
Where the River Meets the Stars
…and today, I continue to constellate the landscape of life—having come full circle, weaving the planetary threads of a practicing astrologer.
The traveling has slowed, the pace gentled. We are on a new trajectory now, rooted in the rhythms of home and hearth, nestled here in the redwood forest where the river meets the sea.
So now, from this sanctuary beneath the redwoods—where starlight filters through branches and the river sings its ancient song—I offer my heart, my wisdom, and the cosmic tools I’ve gathered along the way. Whether you're standing at the edge of change, seeking clarity, or simply curious about your place in the great celestial dance, I invite you to journey inward.
Let us sit together beneath the stars, chart your soul’s map, and remember what the Universe has always known about you.
