Hello, I’m Christina Rodenbeck, and I created The Oxford Astrologer in 2010, because I’m a writer as well as an astrologer — and I think words are even better married to beautiful images.

I started casting charts in the 1990s, and since then my techniques, understanding and knowledge have evolved. I specialise in personal readings, because I find people completely fascinating, and helping others seems to me the best use of astrology. But I’m also deeply engaged by how astrology works in the wider world  — politics, history, celebrity and the general zeitgeist.

It’s a huge privilege and delight to work with a system of knowledge that is actually magical. Astrology is a gift that shows us a glimmer of the web that binds together the living universe. It’s awesome in the true sense of the word, and yet sometimes so amazing that it makes me laugh out loud with wonder. Read about how I became an astrologer.

I don’t cleave to any particular school of astrology: all have something to offer. I test techniques and see if they work in practice, and I am fond of examining historical cycles for patterns and information. Ethics are at the centre of my approach.

Broadcasting
With my friend Sally Kirkman, I host Astrology Talk a popular monthly podcast in which we discuss the month ahead, the month behind and everything in between. We have recently added a short investigative podcast in which we answer a specific question.

I also  had a regular spot for a few years on BBC Oxford, and have been a guest on various other podcasts, including at The Spectator magazine.

Other Writing
I contribute occasionally to other publications including New York magazine and The Astrological Journal. I was the latter’s regular fashion columnist for several years. I’ve worked as a mind-body-spirit publishing consultant and editor for books and partworks — including for Time Life books, Ryland Peters and Small and more.

Talks
I give lectures for The Oxford Astrology Group, The Astrological Lodge in London, the Scottish Astrological Association and Aquarius Severn. Take a look at some of them on YouTube.

Residencies
I do the occasional residency. For example, I spent a week as Wellness Master at the Four Seasons Hotel in Hong Kong.
