2024 Astro Diary

Ariel is an artist and an astrologer who lives in the deep south of Tasmania where she runs an intimate Studio/Galley – keeping company with her cat and dog and whomever swings by.

Astrology seemed so mysterious when she was growing up – the interest was there, but doorways led her to other teachings. Then the internet happened and access to Astrological knowledge exploded. She dove in and, like many others who get the call, drew up charts of everyone she knew. She got confused – had revelations and basically, fell deeply in love with the way each individual shines when viewed through the lens of Star Wisdom.

Although she has found the internet helpful in spreading the teachings of Astrology, she recognises that it also sucked the majority of us into its glassy screened portal, filling our brains with uproar and noise.

A big part of her motivation in creating the Astro Diary was to create a non-digital space where Astrological information is provided. A place where, instead of scrolling, we can flick through pages to find out when the next New Moon is. As a book lover, she knows that the tactile feel, weight and subtle paper smell can awaken a quiet, ancient part of us. As she sees it, we’ve handed over a lot to the machine world, but it’s not too late to reconsider and reclaim the best of the old ways.

She has also written on the Moon Cycles for the Gratitude Diary for the better part of the last 8 years – with a year off every now and again.

The Astro Diary is especially close to her heart as it afforded her the opportunity to bask in the Cosmic Imagery of the Zodiac and tune into and share their unique frequencies as she created both the artwork and the writings.
