Star Axis

In 2000, while I worked as the web master at the College of Santa Fe, I not only created a website store for a faculty member, I created a website for New York artist, Charles Ross for course credit. Charles Ross was creating a naked eye observatory in Las Vegas, NM called Star Axis. I saw his goal close to mine, I wanted to conserve our knowledge of the stars and any new astronomical discoveries  

Charles Ross showed us his solar burn projects. This is where I learned the fascinating nature of the sun and how it spirals in different directions during the summer and winter solstices. I wanted to conserve this information too. 

At the time, there were not many ways to create websites other than BBedit, hand coding and even though that was great for templates and forms, I wanted Star Axis' website to have fancier graphics. In those days, we had to slice up large photos and send them over the internet in square plots. That is what Adobe GoLive did. I had no idea that this was just the beginning of the digital world and what was to become of the art world. 

My love for conservation science drew me towards Charles Ross' Star Axis Project immediately. He was conserving the way astronomy of the past, present, and future was viewed. 

Fascinated, I drove with a group from College of Santa Fe, to the site in Las Vegas, NM and observed the project in the making. To truly understand what it was Charles Ross was doing was key to making his website well. I created his website design using graphics that emphasized his art work as a star map. We WERE navigating the stars, after ALL!  

Star Axis showed the observer what the stars looked like throughout the ages, going all the way back to Egyptian times. His current website, Star Axis, is different than the one I created in 2000. If you use the "Wayback Machine", on archive.org, you can find the original one. 

When I was interviewed for Australia's Radio FM88 show, I shared knowledge about my sidereal astrology, my current astrology business: Green Dragon Astrology, as well as archaeoastronomy, astronomy, and Milky Way Galaxy's 13 star constellations, including Ophiuchus. 

I knew a few things about astrology because I started studying astrology at the age of 10. I was self taught by reading every book I could, such as books by Robert Hand, and others. I earned a Certificate for Shamanic Astrology at Astrohub with Donna Woodward and I applied Star Axis' principles to my Sidereal Astrology charts. I used the real-live sky to read my astrology charts. With astronomy and the precession of the equinoxes, I was able to calculate my birth chart, and I included the same count as Greek astrologist, Kanatas. 

My astrology journey started when I learned about conserving the truth about the stars, with the phenomenon, the Precession of the Equinoxes at Charles Ross' Star Axis project!
