Meet Lynnette

A Little About Me

Bonjour! I'm Lynnette, the astrologer behind Cosmic Moves.

I've always been curious about how we make sense of the world, whether through language, culture, travel, or the patterns and symbolism of astrology.

I grew up speaking Spanish, developed a love affair with all things French, and eventually earned my master's degree in translation and localization management.

Along the way, astrology became something much more meaningful to me than a collection of zodiac signs and personality descriptions.

It became a framework I could return to. A way to explore the energies within and around me, recognize patterns, ask better questions, and consider new possibilities.

And I love that there's always something more to discover.

A Life in Languages

Language has been part of my life for as long as I can remember.

Growing up bilingual gave me an early appreciation for the fact that meaning isn't always contained in the words themselves. Culture, context, experience, and the person receiving the message all matter.

That curiosity eventually led me to study translation professionally.

And somewhere along the way, I began recognizing a fascinating connection between translating languages and interpreting astrology.

Both require more than knowing the vocabulary.

You have to understand what you're working with, who you're communicating with, and what you're trying to convey.

A good translator isn't there to show off how impressive their vocabulary is.

They're there to communicate something faithfully and meaningfully.

I approach astrology much the same way.

Astrology Is a Language. Translation Is an Art.

People often refer to astrology as a language, and I love that description.

But learning the language means more than memorizing what each planet, sign, or house supposedly means.

There are foundations, techniques, relationships, and traditions to understand.

And then there's the person whose chart we're exploring.

Their experiences. Their questions. Their perspective.

When someone comes to me for a reading, I'm not trying to demonstrate how much astrology I know. I want to understand what they're hoping to explore and how I can make our conversation genuinely useful.

And when I'm teaching, I don't want students simply repeating my interpretations.

I want them to develop their own understanding and their own astrological vocabulary.

What does Saturn mean to you? How have you experienced its symbolism? What patterns have you recognized?

We begin with the shared foundations, then explore how those ideas take shape in our individual lives.

The tradition provides a shared language. Personal experience helps develop fluency.

Intuition · Technique · Translation

These three ideas are at the heart of how I approach astrology.

Intuition brings curiosity, perception, and a willingness to explore what resonates.

Technique provides the structure. The planets, signs, houses, aspects, and relationships that give astrology its grammar.

Translation brings it all together, turning symbolism and technical understanding into a meaningful conversation.

I believe all three have something important to contribute.

Because astrology can be deeply philosophical and spiritual, wonderfully practical, and sometimes surprisingly playful.

I like to think of its elements a little like Legos.

Each piece has recognizable qualities, but there are so many ways to combine them, explore their relationships, and discover something new.

And yes, I really did just compare astrology to Legos.

Sometimes that's simply the best way to explain something!

Your Chart Is a Guide, Not a Verdict

One belief I openly share is that we choose our charts before coming into this life.

You don't have to share that belief to explore astrology with me.

But I find it an empowering perspective because it reminds me that we're not victims of our charts.

I don't believe being a Leo automatically makes someone one particular way, or that having a certain planetary placement determines what their life must become.

We're each working with a whole chart, a whole collection of possibilities, and a lifetime of experiences.

Astrology offers a framework for exploration.

You bring the lived experience, perspective, and choices.

And those choices remain yours.

A Little Life Beyond Astrology

When I'm not exploring charts or teaching, you'll probably find me enjoying one of my other favorite things.

France is high on that list. The language, the culture, the food, the beautiful everyday details. I love it all.

I also love traveling, cooking, baking sourdough bread, growing tomatoes and herbs, filling my home with plants and flowers, and making ordinary spaces feel beautiful.

Give me a good Nancy Meyers movie, a gorgeous kitchen, a wonderful soundtrack, and some genuinely funny moments, and I'm pretty happy.

The Sister Act movies? Also favorites.

Laughter is one of my great joys, especially when shared with the people I love.

I appreciate beautiful things, but I also appreciate simplicity.

And whether I'm learning something new, exploring a different culture, or spending time with family and friends, I love the possibility that there's always another perspective to discover.

Make Astrology Your Own

One of my favorite moments as a teacher is when someone understands a concept and then takes it somewhere I hadn't considered.

That's when learning becomes a conversation.

I want people to feel comfortable asking questions, experimenting with interpretations, laughing at their assumptions, and discovering what astrology means to them.

You don't need to arrive knowing all the answers.

You don't even need to know exactly what you're looking for.

Bring your curiosity.

We'll begin there.

Welcome to Cosmic Moves.
