Welcome to Loving the Dark Parts.
Here you will find astrology made practical.
And real life made magical!
My goal in creating this space is to write about real life through the lens of astrology (and sometimes without that lens), by telling stories of my own life and experiences I’ve been through, and continue to navigate on this earth school journey.
Loving the Dark Parts is here for those who feel as though there is something more out there for them—the seekers and dreamers who are ready to bring their ideas to reality. Those who are tired of living a stale life because that’s what they think they should be doing based on everyone else’s opinion.
This space is for you if you’re:
a seeker who wants to bring magic into the mundane
feeling anxious and overwhelmed with life
a bit skeptical of astrology and what it could do for you (I was, too)
in a time of transition or soul searching
looking for a community of fellow humans who have no idea wtf they’re doing, but will support you through the process
you want to be here
It’s basically for you if you’re looking for real, raw, and relatable content that will (hopefully) spark something within you and touch your heart.
Who am I?
I’m Kaitlyn!
In 2016, after a break up and what felt like the end of the world, I quit my corporate job and booked a one-way ticket to Australia. I was great at running away from things when they got hard; but this act of fleeing led me to a destination I never could’ve expected.
It led me to my true self.
It wasn’t an easy road—I wouldn’t do it again, but I would certainly never go back to change anything.
Since then, I’ve battled (and overcome) a fight with alcoholism, been in plenty of relationships that were bad for me (and the other), travelled part of the globe and my own inner world, learned (and continue to learn) the language of astrology, and have practiced putting myself out there with confidence.
With that being said…
I’ve written 20+ published articles on Elephant Journal; most of those being moon articles, with a few vulnerable shares (like when I opened up about the pain of living abroad), which I have since brought here to Substack.
I’ve completed Debra Silverman’s Applied Astrology program, where I also spent some time working part-time, and have since moved on to focus on my own business. I’m certified through the Rebecca Gordon Astrology School at the Intermediate level, where I’ve also studied horoscope writing, astrology for entrepreneurs, astrology for health and wellness, and more. I’ve also studied with astrologers such as Kelly Surtees, Tony Howard, Jason Holley, Carole Taylor, Lynn Bell, and more.
I’ve trained with CAPISAR, and have successfully completed the Astrological Ethics Awareness Course by passing the Ethics Examination, which is something I take very seriously in my work as a practicing astrologer and coach.
You won’t find shallow pop-astrology here.
As for coaching qualifications, I’ve received my Health and Life Coaching certification, and have been trained in TCM (Transformational Coaching Method) through Health Coach Institute.
