WORK WITH, not
against, CYCLES
"...MaKayla McRae, practices a mix of modern psychological based astrology which focuses on free will with ancient, fate-based Hellenistic astrology."
​
"...Better known to her celebrity clients as The Starry Eyed Mystic"
​
​
My practice combines the straightforward, stoic methods of ancient Hellenistic astrologers with modern psychological astrology. As a result, my astrological insights are detailed, direct, and honest, while also being inspirational, compassionate, and empowering. When I work with Tarot, I take a similarly direct approach influenced by my Aries Sun. However, my Cancer Rising allows the message to be filtered intuitively, ensuring that it resonates with what someone needs to hear to feel emotionally understood and inspired.

In my free time, I strive to give back to my community through volunteering. I also have the pleasure of co-hosting The Sapphic Circle in Salem with my partner, where we aim to foster connections among lesbian, sapphic, and queer individuals who are exploring their spirituality or identity.
​
I’m passionate about reading, traveling, journaling, attending local yoga classes, and immersing myself in nature and queer nightlife. (Did you know that only about 30 lesbian bars remain in America?) Above all, I truly value the quality moments spent with family and friends.

I started reading Tarot at the age of fourteen when my mother gifted me my first deck, a traditional Rider-Waite deck. My mother is also a reader, and her guidance has been invaluable. Over the years, I have strengthened my intuition, especially with the mentorship of my cousin, who was a professional Tarot reader for decades in the renowned Salem, Massachusetts, known as "Witch City." As an intergenerational spiritual practitioner, I take my practice and my clients' needs very seriously.
Much Love,
MaKayla McRae,
The Starry-Eyed Mystic,
