Hi, I'm Maddie Gleeson
I'm a journalist by training and a founder by nature. While I mostly enjoy time in the stars, I spend plenty down here on Earth - I run a FMCG business alongside this practice. My real world experience allows me to understand what it's like to navigate big decisions, question whether the path you’ve chosen is the right one and all the other things that keep us up at night.
Astrology became the thread that connected all of it. Not as a fortune-telling tool but as a language for understanding myself deeply enough to trust my intuition and follow my own path.
That's what I want to give you. The tools to understand yourself well enough to build a life that is truly in alignment with your core purpose and desires.
And for those of you who are already quite familiar with the stars, you may have already guessed .. but yes, I’m a Gemini Rising with Mars conjunct the Ascendant, born on an Aquarius full moon with a Leo Sun and an interception that puts Aries on my Midheaven.
I had my first proper astrology reading at 20, in the middle of a painful breakup. I'd always dabbled in the stars — tracking moon cycles, keeping an eye on Saturn — but sitting across from someone who could articulate things I'd never been able to say about myself was something else entirely and it changed my direction completely.
Not long after, I packed up and went to work on a cattle station in outback Australia. Hours of physical work, vast amounts of silence, and not much else to do but write and think. I wrote constantly. I read everything I could. I started to understand myself in a way I hadn't before, and what began as a season of healing slowly became a deeper curiosity about what drives us, why we relate to people the way we do, and how we can use that understanding to build a life that’s aligned with our true sense of purpose.
My Approach
Once I receive your birth information I dive deep into your chart, taking notes and piecing together the infinite information it gives me. This gives me an overall picture of you and your life so far before I dive into the transits to see what’s coming up for you. When we come together I use those notes as a reference point while you and I have an open conversation about the chart. There will be things I’ve noted as important and questions that will come up on the spot for you, the
Grounded and practical
My goal is to leave you with insights and resources that help you to move forward with confidence and clarity.
Holistic lens
Your chart is an extension of yourself - it holds all of the hurt and all of the potential and we explore it together as a whole - reflecting what has already happened, highlighting where you are now and looking to the future.
