Hello, Friends. I am Megan Cohen (she/her), Owner of Hearthfire astrology.
I am a consulting astrologer currently living and working in Los Angeles. I have been practicing since 2020 and earned a Certificate in Advanced Astrology studying under Adam Elenbaas, who studied under Robert Schmidt and Chris Brennan, among others. In these studies, I learned to read the nuances and possibilities in every chart — not to flatten charts into lists of symbols, but to really explore and synthesize what the oracle is trying to communicate.
I am skilled at using language to translate complex ideas into familiar imagery, often with humor. With a background in law, public policy, and community organizing I am grounded in the realities of living in the world — not just empty platitudes about spiritualism or the power of positive thinking. I can help you find real ways to approach your stickiest challenges from where you are right now, both trees and forest.
I create a safe and warm environment in which to communicate these messages so they can be heard and processed with love. With a heavy dose of fire in my own astrological chart, I bring the light, warmth, and nourishment of the Hearthfire to every reading as well as the kind of passion that ignites change.
I use Hellenistic astrology to identify and articulate the complex web of assets, challenges, opportunities, tensions, and patterns at work both above and below the surface of consciousness. These observations can activate growth and healing by clarifying how to interact with the energies at work. I specialize in tracking astrological cycles to assist in the timing and structure of experiments in self-discovery and capacity-building.
I am not a psychic. I am a facilitator. I encourage clients to claim and own their power to set intentions and then follow through with aligned action. As they say, intention + action = magic. And there is a tremendous amount of magic in all of us.
