About the Author

Hello and welcome! I’m Elizabeth G. of Chrysopoeia Astrology writing and publishing under the name E.G. Keller. Keller is an ancestral name in my family that’s particularly special to me for personal reasons, and I’d like to have some semblance of a private life outside of my work!

I’ve studied and practiced astrology intensely for over half my life -very seriously since I was 14 years old- and can help guide and assist you with your own personal Great Work of clarifying and enhancing your life and self so that you too can shine like gold. That’s the meaning of the ancient Greek word “chrysopoeia” — the alchemical process.

My personal style of astrological analysis is strongly inspired by the work of Carl Jung. He used astrology as a tool in his own practice and lectured and wrote about it often. I first learned about his work in depth in my own psychology classes, but I was so enthralled by it that I chose to continue exploring it even more on my own, and then even more with my astrology mentor. I’d already been studying astrology seriously (hours of work and research daily) for several years at this point, but when I learned Jung had an affinity for it too and how he connected it to study of the human psyche so skillfully, this combined two of my favorite interests in a way that ignited a fierce passion in me to learn everything I could about both. 

My work is greatly informed by the teachings of Liz Greene, Glenn Perry, Karen Hamaker-Zondag, Louise Huber, Bruno Huber, Steven Forrest, Howard Sasportas, and of course, my brilliant, beloved personal teacher and mentor, retired master astrologer Vivian Carol, formerly known as Vivian Weaver and Vivian Hickman. I strive to be worthy to follow in Vivian’s footsteps and am honored that some of her former clients have chosen to work with me.

As my own natal chart indicates, I’ve had a fairly unique and interesting life so far. A former child prodigy with a 190 IQ who taught myself to read at two (and hasn’t put a book down without immediately reaching for another since), I never attended high school and went straight to college while working as a professional child actor for many years. I’ve also studied and worked in graphic and web design, as a vintage clothing dealer, an intense interest of mine since middle school. I’m passionate about music (proudly sharing my birthday with both Tchaikovsky and Brahms), mid century modernism aesthetics, art, furniture, and architecture. I adore history in general, “Mad Men”, and cheese. I’m a natal Taurus Sun, Libra Moon, with Capricorn rising and a Grand Trine in fire signs, textbook INFJ, and Enneagram Type 4.
