"Everyone is a house with four rooms, a physical, a mental, an emotional and a spiritual. Most of us tend to live in one room most of the time, but unless we go into every room, every day, even if only to keep it aired, we are not a complete person." --Indian Proverb

I started studying astrology at age 8, after being informed I was a sign, namely a Scorpio, at a schoolyard. Nothing could have been more intriguing than the announcement of that sign in tones that implied both awe and fear. I simply had to know what had inspired those deep feelings expressed by a classmate. In Finland astrological articles were quite commonplace as I was growing up. My interest and study deepened in the late 70s while I was living in Australia. In 1987 I moved to Memphis Tennessee where I joined the Riverside Astrologers. I served as their newsletter editor until moving to Canada.
In
1990 I moved to Canada and continued to work as an astrologer. In 1991 I founded
the Fraser Valley Astrological Guild (an astrological organization in British
Columbia, Canada) with astrologer Brenda Schauer. I served as the founding
president for two terms and as the treasurer for the third term. In 1997 I
returned to the executive as treasurer. Since 1998 I have been the president
of the Guild. In addition I was the newsletter editor for two terms until
2001. I have designed this website that you are visiting, and the one for
the Fraser Valley Astrological Guild. I maintain both sites.
From 1991 to 1998 I wrote several astrological columns, as well as horoscopes, in the local papers (The Langley Times, Peace Arch News, The BCIT Student Newspaper, as well as the Finnish language newspaper in Vancouver, BC). I felt that getting serious astrological articles in the main stream publications was a significant accomplishment. My horoscope column, Star Tracks, was both a weekly and a monthly column. The other column, Astrologically Speaking, was a monthly column that was devoted to introducing astrology as a serious study to the general public. I resumed writing columns at the end of 2001.
Since 1988 I have consulted as a professional astrologer, lecturing to both astrologers and the general public. Currently my main focus has shifted toward astrological writing, creation and promotion of astrology on the web with the goal of helping astrology gain wider recognition as a serious study and profession. I take pride in being a professional astrologer, and am honoured to be a member of the fine local and international astrological organizations listed above.
My main research interest is planetary cycles, especially the ones of Venus and the nodal axis. Life is about cycles, there is a time for everything, astrology helps define and elucidate those cycles, and I personally cope with life better using this information. I won’t renew my mortgage without consulting my ephemeris (a book. which lists planetary positions), and avoid scheduling important events "blind-folded".

I look after several websites, but have not had time to master server pages, so due to lack of time I am not putting my articles on this site at present. If that is inconveniencing anyone, send me an e-mail that usually gets me working on the hows.
Anne's book, Venus, her Cycles, Symbols and Myths was published by Llewellyn in October 2006.
"Who is an enticing beauty, a bitch goddess, and the queen of every natal chart? Venus, of course! Investigating this heavenly body from all angles, Anne Massey brings new dimension to this undervalued planet. Exploring Venus in mythology, fairy tales, and contemporary archtypes such as Marilyn Monroe, Massey uncovers this planet's striking personality. A close look at her cycles reveals gorgeous symmetry and sacred geometry, linking Venus to the golden mean, the pentagram, and other significant symbols. The author also focuses on this extraordinary planet's aspects and phases, in addition to her impact in the houses and signs, and discusses Venus retrogrades in depth. Lastly, no book on Venus would be complete without examining her dynamic influence on love and marriage."--Publisher's comments.
"A monumental work on Venus and its amazing magical cycles that you will not only read but want to study for its finer intricacies. Its cyclic power points add additional interpretive enrichment not usually considered." -- Chris McRae, CERTIFIED ASTROLOGER CAP.ISAR, CA.NCGR, PMAFA
"I loved the book! “This book fills a black hole in the astrological literature which has generally overlooked the Lady of Love. A thorough exploration of planet Venus is certainly overdue. Yet this comprehensive and well-written book by Anne Massey may be particularly timely as it greets the powerful re-emergence of the Feminine. This book has something for everybody. However, as a practicing astrologer, a better understanding of the many layers of this archetype surely enhances my professional work with clients. The Goddess is smiling on this one!” -- Diana Stone astrologer/shaman

"I have read your excellent manuscript, Covenants of Venus, and am sending along this back cover copy: For half a Saturn cycle, my friend and colleague, Anne Massey, who owns a natal Venus-Saturn conjunction in Scorpio as I do, has intensely researched the planet Venus in all of her beauty. In this, her first book, she has created a wonderful five-pointed star of a manuscript. A quintet of knowledge about Venus emerges in these pages. Mythological understanding, the mathematical beauty of the Venusian orbit, meaningful delineations, matriarchal wisdom and context, and the metaphysical dimensions of Venus are all presented. This treatise makes a significant contribution to existing astrological literature."
