Greetings, Kindred Spirit!
I am AliSun Trees, affectionately known in the forest as Auntie Owl.
My journey as an astrologer has unfolded in waves of synchronicity and surprise, guided by the stars and the gentle whispering that travels upon the winds.
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 always when the time is perfectly ripe.
In the year two thousand twelve, I embarked on a personal and planetary Quest around the world, a sacred chapter woven with profound creativity and transformation. Life in Ojai had been incredibly sweet and deeply blessed, surrounded by an eclectic community of beloved teachers, healers, and soul allies. Yet beneath the sweetness, a quiet longing began to stir within me. I felt a desire to experience the world in a new way, to live it and breathe it and allow myself to 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 spirited winds of adventure would call me away. At times I assisted art workshops with the radiant Shamanic Art Medicine Woman Aviva Gold. At other times I traveled with a more wizardly companion, the late and great BrooksY - in his spiritual leadership ambassador program "Art of God." Being Uniquely You.
A New Cycle Begins
As new cycles often do, a gentle nudge appeared and guided me toward another 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 and soul shaking experiences of my life, of our life. Bear journeyed beside me. Some of you may remember our shared adventures chronicled on our travel site Owl and Bear. It has been a minute.
From planting potent seeds and prayers in the heart of a labyrinth in Maui, to wandering among the sacred mountains of Tepoztlan and San Miguel de Allende in Mexico, from the temples of Japan to the olive groves of Italy, from the crystalline shores of Croatia to many other magical places between, signs and synchronicities walked with me as constant companions, speaking in a language older than time.
One such moment arrived like a whisper carried on the wind, a burst of kismet that led me to a spontaneous encounter with a young Mayan curandera. Her presence sparked something luminous. I lit 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 and golden and alive. A slumbering spark, quiet and cosmic and knowing, flared into life.
A Spark of Remembrance
In that moment, my connection to the oracular art of Astrology was not simply awakened but remembered, not as something I had learned, but as something my soul has always known. It returned like starlight through the trees, timeless and eternal and profoundly new.
Signs and synchronicities began to arise everywhere 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 and brighter, each thread more intricately woven with every new adventure. The more I opened to possibility, the more the Universe responded. Dreams filled with celestial patterns, scribbled astrological symbols dancing along the edges of notebooks, books leaping from the shelves of new age bookstores into my arms. All of them whispered the same message. 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 places, fellow travelers on the cosmic road. With every step, I felt 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 in the quantum field of labyrinths, mosques, and sanctuaries, I was not simply studying Astrology. I was living it.
Where the River Meets the Stars
And now, I continue to constellate the landscape of life, having come full circle, weaving the planetary threads of a practicing astrologer here where the river meets the stars.
The traveling has softened. The pace has gentled. We are on a new trajectory now, rooted in the rhythms of home and hearth, nestled in the redwood forest where the river meets the sea.
From this sanctuary beneath the redwoods, where starlight filters through ancient branches and the river sings its timeless song, I offer my heart, my wisdom, and the cosmic tools gathered along the way. Whether you are 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 the map of your soul, and remember what the Universe has always known about you.
