About Moi!

Welcome to Shannon Astrology, an astrological practice run by me—Shannon Cunningham.

I’m originally from small-town Nova Scotia, having grown up in a village with a population of 273 people. I attended university in Halifax, where I studied Journalism at King’s College and completed my BA with a major in Theatre at Dalhousie University. I’ve received training in transpersonal psychology from the Psychosynthesis Institute in California and am qualified as a Life Coach with the Certified Coaches Federation. I also keep my St. John Ambulance training up to date, so if you start choking on a chicken bone in front of me, I could (maybe) save your life.

Over the years, I’ve worked as a reporter, tour guide, actor, musician, teacher, server, admin assist and fine-dining restaurant manager. I have a highly mutable chart, which means I’m versatile. Most of my life, I’ve worked one job to pay the bills and another to give my life meaning. This used to be frustrating, but now that I’m in my 50s, I recognize it’s just who I am.

When I moved to Toronto in 2001, I began studying astrology and fell deeply for the subject. What I value most about astrology is that it offers insight into what makes us so different from one another—and that I never get tired of it.

In 2009, I completed my diploma in Chart Consultation with the Canadian Association for Astrological Education (CAAE) and became a practicing astrologer and teacher of astrology.

I strive to use astrology to help people gain insight and self-acceptance, and to better their lives. I’m a big fan of free will, so you don’t have to worry about deterministic language in my consultations. Limiting statements are not my thing.

My consultation vibe is conversational. I love discovering what it is that brought you to me, as an astrologer. I’m an attentive listener, but if you want me to do most of the talking, I can happily chatter away about the magic I see in your natal chart. I’m glad to answer any questions you might have about astrology, including the technical ones—or we can steer clear of astro jargon entirely. The session is for you.

Currently, I live in the east end of Toronto with my husband, Harrison, and our sweet pooch, Archibald Kimchi Keeningham the 1st. Archie is a rescue from South Korea and the love of our lives.

This is an "I am Canadian" pic taken last weekend.  But I have to say - I love my American clients and friends. And I am so SO sorry for what you are going through. My heart bleeds for you.
