Experience:

Molly has been a writer for 20 years, and was once a reporter for the Associated Press. She began studying metaphysics 12 years ago at the California Institute for Integral Studies. The Women's Spirituality program there laid the foundation for understanding astrology, and its influence on mythology and cultures. Molly has studied archeo-mythology, shamanism and cosmology in and out of the classroom.

Molly has led goddess circles and taught classes on moon magic. She's read Tarot and interpreted charts in San Francisco, on the Upper West Side and the East Village in NYC, from sushi bars to the sidewalk, and most recently, in Savannah, GA. As free-lancer, she's written for books on numerology, astrology and the language of symbols (for the Carl Jung Foundation of New York). She's currently writing an astrology book for beginners for Globe Pequot Press. She's a member of the (NCGR) National Council for Geocosmic Research.

Education:

M.A. in Humanities: Women's Spirituality, studying at New College and CIIS, both in San Francisco.

From Molly Hall:

Astrology is an ancient study that is re-emerging into the culture as a force to be reckoned with. The study of the light energies within yourself, and the universe, can remind us that we're part of something awe-inspiring. The patterns that astrology reveals can help you understand yourself and others. Astrological wisdom helps you make the most of your life, and put the darkness or trials into perspective.

I'm committed to putting together an inspiring and comprehensive site. These are urgent times, when each person contributes to the choice of humanity at this great turning of the ages. Astrology is a doorway to understanding patterns in time. The ancients tuned into the cosmic forces, and created symbolic language around them that are part of our heritage. That's why learning about astrology at any level makes you part of something timeless.
