I’m Catherine Urban, a professional astrologer certified with top accreditation by the National Council for Geocosmic Research (NCGR-PAA IV) and the International Society for Astrological Research (ISAR-CAP). I bought my first astrology book when I was just 12 years old. By middle school, I was already observing the elemental themes of compatibility among my classmates. Yup! I was always “that astrology girl.”

My astrology studies deepened in 2009 while living in NYC when I plugged into the astrological community. I studied with with my teachers in their apartments, began attending conferences and of course, obsessively reading books. The intrigue continues to this day leading me to various corners of the astrological tapestry.

I eventually returned to Cleveland, where I now teach astrology and maintain a growing consulting practice. I served on the local astrology board (LCAA), have lectured locally on several occasions (including LCAA’s 2018 keynote address) and have delivered lectures and webinars at the Great Lakes Astrology Conference (GLAC), The Astrology Gathering (TAG) for various NCGR chapters and Conferences, IAA (International Academy of Astrology), and AYA (Association for Young Astrologers). I continue to study with astrological mentors and colleagues who inspire me. I completed STA (School of Traditional Astrology)’s Horary course in 2020 and spent the past two years learning Hermetic teachings and celestial magic from Gary Caton. This past year, I have enjoyed collaborating with Chris Brennan as a guest on The Astrology Podcast.

I currently teach astrology classes live, though I am in the process of developing self-paced courses. As a mom whose life is very busy, I know that this is something that would appeal to me, and I’ve noticed that many other folks desire this sort of offering. I additionally hold space for my monthly chart synthesis group, Cauldron, which is designed for intermediate and advanced students of astrology to converse in the celestial language and develop interpretation skills.

Writing is another huge part of my practice. I am the author of Your Astrological Cookbook: the perfect recipe for every sign, and former horoscope columnist for BonAppetit.com, and Domino.com. You can also find me in NCGR’s quarterly Memberletter under my evergreen column, The Golden Apple Chronicles. I fully intend to write more books and research-based articles.

Aside from astrology, the brightest light in my life is my family. I have a 3 year-old daughter named Leela and a newborn named Nova. I am a full-time parent, which means that for right now, most of my consultations and classes occur in the evening. During the day, we are coloring, cooking, playing and learning how to be a human in the world! My new segment, The Family Astrologer is available on YouTube alongside my weekly forecasts, Astrology Shot of the Day.

As a former hairstylist, building relationships with my clients has always been part of my criteria of meaningful work. In both fields, I have dabbled in alchemy, facilitating catalytic shifts for others and helping them connect with their true essence - past, present and future. I love helping my clients gain more clarity and confidence in themselves and on their path. The macrocosm of astrology offers us an invaluable tool to better understand ourselves, each other and our place in this wild, wild world, here, now and through the echoes of time.   

I truly look forward to connecting with you!
