ABOUT JON

In early 2003 when Pluto, the now dwarf planet, crossed my Ascendant — a time of crisis and transformation — I had a chance encounter with an astrologer that changed my life. Until that time, I had been stumbling through life, just totally clueless. I didn't know who I was at all.

I started reading every astrology book I could get my hands on: Dane Rudhyar, Steven Forrest, Liz Greene, to name a few. Through my study of astrology, I had this great awakening. I began to understand myself better and make more sense of the relationships and events in my life. And the more I learned about astrology, the more it amazed and awed me — and the more I realized I had found my life's calling. (Here's my booklist.)

Almost immediately, I began to do readings for my friends and family. I joined the International Society for Astrological Research (ISAR) and started attending conferences. And through these affiliations, I've had the good fortune to meet many great astrologers who have really helped me along. In particular, I completed a year-long mentorship under astrologer Nancy Fenn that included instruction on all aspects of astrological interpretation and counseling. I'm currently enrolled in Noel Tyl's demanding Master's Degree Certification Program and it is really helping me to consolidate my knowledge and become a much more disciplined and efficient astrologer.

I feel that astrology is a profound tool that can really help us become more aware and conscious of the important dynamics in our lives, and support us in living up to our fullest potential.

As is the case with an interesting number of astrologers, I am also a musician. Here's a link to myspace where you can hear some of my music: www.myspace.com/jonlaytonmusic.

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Here are the types of readings I am currently offering. I look forward to serving you!
