Hello and welcome to astrology readings via the Lifeworks Support Network by me, Kelley Smoot Garrett! Before beginning an investigation of your astrological roots you might want to learn more about me, the forces that have shaped my life, and the way I believe astrology can be used to help you shape your life into a dream come true!
Because the places a person inhabits forms the immediate environment from which they draw their daily lives, I always like to answer the question of who I am by listing the spots on the globe I've been so fortunate to be able to call my home.
I was born in Dallas, Texas in 1960, raised in New York City (1967-77), and have called many diverse places "home," including the Northfield, Minnesota; Northwest Highlands of Scotland; Pau (and Paris), France; Singapore; Auckland, New Zealand; and Midland, Abilene, and Austin (these last three being the Texas versions of those great cities ;) )
Austin, Texas has been my main "squeeze" of a town, ever since I first set foot there in 1980, to finish up my university education in Geological Sciences, graduating with honors and special honors in December 1982. Austin's unique combination of small-town charm mixed with big-city sophistication has always appealed to my Texas roots and my Manhattan upbringing.
But it was surprisingly in small, conservative Abilene, Texas in 1985 that I had my first astrological chart reading conducted by the late, great Louise Green, that my life took a different turn, thanks to the guidance I found in the stars. I was amazed that a woman I had never met before could so uncannily know who I was, and explain to me my own motivations -- thoughts that I had never revealed to anyone before, and that I scarcely knew I possessed. Clearly my astrological birthchart coupled with Louise's year-ahead astro "weather forecast" (she never called them predictions, because we all possess Free Will and could choose to not follow the stars' calling) opened up a whole 'nother way to feel the energy of the world around me, and brought new resonance to the ancient quote, ascribed to Hermes Trismegistus “As above, so below, as within, so without, as the universe, so the soul…”
When Louise died in 1993 I realized that if I was to continue to receive the messages that the planets had so clearly transmitted to me, I was going to have to start studying astrology for myself.
With the usual zeal & gusto to which I show any topic that interests me, I started re-reading everything Louise had written for me, in the past 8 years that we'd known each other. I discovered that Louise had studied the "greats" of astrology, including Robert Hand, Noel Tyl, Madame Blavatsky, as well as more popular astrologers such as Susan Miller and Jeff Jawar.
In 2008 I treated myself to a 10-day Beginning Astrology course held in Bali by Jawar and his partner Rick Levine, I realized I knew at least as much as every in attendance, and that my reading & work through the years had taught me much. It was on that trip that I realized I wanted to combine the teachings of Abraham-Hicks (which I have avidly been a follower/leader of, since 2007) with astrology, helping to lead people to their own alignment with Source; an alignment reachable by each of us, for ourselves, anytime we choose to use our available soul energy.
When Peter William asked me to be a part of his Evolve With Love network, I knew immediately that this was the "next logical step" in helping people achieve alignment for themselves, moment by moment, on any given day, using what is available to each of us, if we open ourselves up & align with Source.
I guess I'm supposed to put in website links, and I guess I'd feel a bit remiss if I didn't take this opportunity to tell y'all what I've been personally up to, creatively speaking. So I'll tell you that I'm on a mission brought to me by my Dad and stepmom, Hal & Letitia Smoot, to spread Letitia's message of Doing 3 Good Deeds (http://Do3GoodDeeds.com) through the 1st edition publishing in 2013 of Letitia's 1941 fairy tale, "Princess April Morning-Glory" (http://PrincessApril.com) This book was written by Letitia, as well as calligraphied, illustrated and illuminated by Letitia as well, who was the niece of silent film stars Douglas Fairbanks Sr and Mary Pickford. Letitia grew up in an enchanted Hollywood world, in a time when people who had the money & power to affect change in the lives of every day people, took their responsibility to their fellow men, women & children seriously. I strive to carry through on my Dad & stepmom's principles, in actions small & large, every day of my life.
I hope you'll join me in discovering the amazing power of what the stars say about you. It will be my pleasure to be your guide.
Love & light, Kelley
