Laura’s interest in astrology was sparked by her housemate, who had studied astrology for 12 years. After a long marriage and a divorce she was very nervous about dating, so her housemate said, “Find out his birth date and I’ll tell you all about him.” Laura was intrigued and got the info to her housemate and she has been fascinated with astrology ever since.

What started as a passion turned into a profession. Mostly self- taught, Laura keeps up with her studies through reading books and articles about astrology and attending workshops. She is the Vice President of the Astrological Society of Austin in Austin TX. And she is the Astrologer at Omega Institute affiliate, The Crossings. Laura has been teaching astrology classes and doing individual tutoring since 1993.

Laura has a multifaceted background including 7 years in the family counseling field and experience as a body worker utilizing a type of massage called Trager Psychophysical Integration. She has been in a long marriage, single parented, had partnerships, and has also been out there dating, so she can empathize with your current relationship state.

Having lived and worked in Cusco Peru for a while, she delights in the freestyle improvisational dance community in Austin. She also enjoys gardening, camping, and music. (Just to let you know she is well rounded).

With a deep understanding about many paths of spirituality, holistic health, coaching and counseling Laura makes a lot of recommendations and referrals in her readings to give you antidotes for your problems and new perspectives to support you.

Get Real with Laura
0
The thing I love about Laura is that she will always tell it like it is - or like it could be - without shying away from "real" language. And she avoids the kind of old-school astrological deterministic language that can be so limiting. With Laura, you get the "straight dope" mixed in with the kind of psychological insight that is only gained through experience. This is the kind of information I've always found so helpful during difficult transits. For instance, during a Pluto square, while transformation is inevitable, an astrologer who who focuses on the positive in an unbalanced way may skirt the issue of intensity that can arise in a Pluto transit. Not Laura. She delivers useful practical information that will help you navigate your transits with a balanced and very real perspective.

When I was looking for an astrologer I asked among my friends, in the mental health profession, who was the most competent and, also, least likely to "just tell you what you wanted to hear." Laura was the clear favorite among them and I have been a satisfied client for years. She is caring, insightful, and totally cosmic practitioner of the Astrologer's art.

I have had several readings by Laura and find that she is not only an astute astrologer, but she is very intuitive as well! It is amazing how she knew so much about me by my birthdate and times, and without my having to say a word! I am looking forward to my next reading with her.

A MASTERFUL ASTROLOGER: You'll Get More Than You Pay!
0

Laura's passion, reverence and depth of knowledge is immediately evident. She organizes and synthesizes information so that in essence you really get a lot out of your reading and I would venture to say that you will definitely get more than your money's worth. In fact, I always pay her more than her fee, because I feel so honored by the extensive ground we cover during a reading. As a masterful astrologer, Laura relays information contextually and cogently to the extent that you understand all the factors that contribute to a particular issue and understand the complexity in simple terms. In addition, Laura asks questions of you to illuminate how you might work the particular planetary conditions, signatures and/or aspects. Her sense of humor, expert listening skills coupled with her analytical genius create a perfect environment for delving into some of your deepest concerns. And finally, Laura's integrity, confidentiality as well as her humanistic approach have alway provided me with both an environment and an opportunity for me to explore my soul's blueprint, not to mention that I alway learn so much more about the field of astrology. I am exceedingly grateful to her and I recommend her highly.

I took a workshop that Laura Waldman co-facilitated on dreams that included her reading of each of the participants. I found her insight and clarity with each of our readings deepened our understanding of our own subconscious messages from the dreams.... it was a great combination.

She is a highly skilled and intuitively gifted astrologer, continually keeps up with her field, and her readings are insightful, insightful, insightful! I am blessed to have Laura's expert guidance--her readings for me are a necessary tool for dealing with the ups and downs of life.

Thank you Laura!

Laura is a wonderful communicator and she brings gifted insight into her readings. She is down to earth yet understands the influences of energies brought about through the cosmic consciousness that effect our individual lives. Thanks, Laura!

Laura really understands the science behind astrology with a depth I have not experienced before. And she interprets with that understanding as well as her own very strong intuition about the science. My reading with her really shone a light on an area of my life that I wasn't taking that seriously due to insecurities. Now I see what I can do to make a reality out of it. Somehow it gave me the confirmation and "lit a fire" I needed to proceed with what I wanted to do all along. Her reading showed me that it was actually part of my destiny - if I choose to follow it. Thanks, Laura.

Weekly Good Timing Tip

Madeline GerwickYour key to Good Timing This week February 3-10, 2012.

There are five days this week when it’s easy to make money: Sunday (the 5th), Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Of those days, Wednesday is the best. If you have something important to do next week, do it on Wednesday, February 8th. Monday February 6th has a falling out though, when something doesn’t come together as expected. So avoid doing anything important on that date.
