Deborah talks to us about her journey to astrology, from her training as a sculptor to her family’s complicated religious karma. We talk about how art can (and should) be a force for political good, along with how we can re-think about astrology as a practical tool for organizing our energies and attentions.

Deborah Fisher is an artist, creative leader, and student of the divinatory arts who has been reading charts since 2016. Her astrology practice is a blend of ancient predictive techniques and modern psychological interpretation, and is meant to offer clients a practical, actionable narrative about responding productively to things beyond our control—our karma and fate.

Deborah’s approach to astrology is so practical because it grows out of a lifetime focusing on public and socially engaged art, as both an artist and an administrator. She has been commissioned to create large scale public sculptures by Middlebury College and the city of Peekskill, NY, and is currently working as the founding Executive Director of A Blade of Grass, a nonprofit that amplifies the work of artists who are collaborating with communities to enact social change. She has previously worked in many other capacities at the intersection of art and civic life, including as studio manager at Socrates Sculpture Park. She writes and lectures internationally about the power of art to enact social change, and is invested in astrology precisely because it is such a perfect cultural vehicle for both empowering individuals and enacting values like equity and interconnectedness that make a more just and compassionate world.
