About Melanie Joy Astrology

Hi, I’m Melanie!

After dabbling in Sun Sign Astrology as a teenager, I was first introduced to astrology formally twenty years ago when I took an introductory astrology class with the Canadian Association for Astrological Education (CAAE).

I signed up just for fun, but after the first class, I was hooked.

It was like the mother ship was calling me home! I couldn’t get enough. To me, these birth charts—of celebrities, my family and friends (and of course my own)—were like DNA sequences; once you learned the code, the amount of information contained in them was mind-blowing. It was like taking the “red pill” in the Matrix and being able to see the underlying framework of all people as well as cycles and patterns of the universe.

I have been seeing clients and teaching astrology for thirteen years.

It is a passion, a joy, and an unending challenge. I’m a certified graduate and teacher through the Canadian Association for Astrological Education (CAAE), a former CAAE board member, and I’ve lectured across Canada and the U.S. for organizations such as Kepler College, ISAR, AFAN, NCGR and Astrology Toronto. I also have a Diploma in Horary Astrology from the School of Traditional Astrology. My approach to astrology is a blend of modern Western techniques, ancient techniques, and a heavy dose of 17th century astrology based on the methods of Jean Baptiste Morin de Villefranche. But to you, I hope our session would feel like a wise friend who knows you extremely well offering some honest (but kind) observations and advice. My goal is for you to walk away feeling prepared, reassured and inspired.

I can honestly say that astrology has been a literal life-saver for me.

In 2012, I was seriously injured in a car accident and left with a permanent back injury. It has been a life-changer. I haven’t been able to return to my previous full-time work in writing, editing and communications. Being able to find the meaning in my darkest hours and to still contribute to society through some astrological work while dedicating a significant amount of my life to ongoing rehab has been essential to me on every level.

Like any good astrologer will tell you, my studies into astrology are never-ending.

That’s the joy of it. I am always learning new techniques and passing tried and true methods along to my clients and students. My latest adventure is the creation of a local non-profit astrology organization, Astrology Niagara, in April 2020. We have been hosting online monthly talks with world-class astrologers. I highly recommend checking it out if you are an astrology student at any level or a fellow astrologer.

A former College Writing Teacher, Career Advice Writer, and Communications Specialist, I hold a Master’s degree in Professional Writing and Communications.

Years of working in both the private and public sector has committed me to a high degree of professionalism.

Oh… and when I’m not talking astrology, doing rehab or finding typos everywhere I go, I also love music and have been a singer-songwriter for decades. Above all, though, I’m a mom to two beautiful little girls (Evie and Stella), an amazing morkie Roxie, and I actually have a husband who digs astrology. I count my blessings every single day.
