Starcodes Backstory-

An interview with me in MysticMag by Marko Velimirovic:

This week we had the opportunity to speak with Heather Roan Robbins — a choice-oriented astrologer and ceremonialist, author of Starcodes Oracle Deck, who kindly agreed to share some insight into her work.

What inspired you to start your Astrology career?

I’ve been studying astrology, mythology, and symbolism since I was 11 years old, many decades ago. My mother was a psychiatric nurse, my father was an abstract mathematician; our family joke was that you put them in a blender and get an astrologer. I grew up wandering the halls of anthropology and art museums in Philadelphia, fascinated by the Sumerian and Egyptian sections; those images filled my childhood dreams.

I was rather haunted as a child, I noticed presences and feelings that those in my scientific surroundings didn’t recognize. During a few early health crises, I had clear out-of-body experiences which viscerally let me know we are more than our body. I collected myths and folktales and produced my first zodiacal calendar at 11 years old.

In my first year of high school, I befriended the school’s switchboard operator, niece of Caroll Righter -a famous Hollywood astrologer. She was a better counselor than the school therapist. One day she stopped two teachers whose transits were particularly challenging (she had everyone’s chart on file) and asked them to be a bit careful this weekend.
