THE PRACTICE & THE PERSON
About Lunar Nest
Where cosmic wisdom meets practical guidance
Astrology readings and guidance by Liz O'Connor
Lunar Nest was created as a space for deepening self-awareness and learning to live in alignment with life’s natural cycles, especially when things feel uncertain, disorienting, or in transition.
When familiar structures fall away and the next chapter hasn’t revealed itself yet, life can feel like moving without a map. Lunar Nest is a place to slow down, reflect inward, and use astrology as a framework for understanding where you are and what is unfolding. Grounded, practical, and deeply human, this work blends cosmic insights with real-life guidance and tools you can use.
My approach to astrology is deeply thoughtful, interactive, and practical. I don't believe in using the stars to override your agency. I believe in using them to strengthen it, so you can navigate life with more clarity and confidence in your own inner guidance. If you are navigating a turning point, questioning your direction, or simply feeling the pull toward a deeper understanding of yourself, Lunar Nest is a supportive place to explore your inner world and learn to make choices that feel aligned, nourishing, and genuinely your own.
"Let the signs and the planets guide you, but let them guide you gently, not as tyrants but as trusted friends. "
— Steven Forrest
The Story Behind the Name
Lunar Nest grew out of a period of profound personal loss and upheaval in my life when I needed a new way to orient myself and make sense of what was happening. Astrology gave language and meaning to experiences that felt overwhelming and helped me understand the emotional cycles I was moving through. Over time, studying my chart and tracking planetary cycles helped me rebuild self-trust, clarify my direction, and create a sense of coherence instead of confusion.
Lunar Nest is a bridge between the cosmos above and the ground beneath our feet. A sacred portal where insight can be integrated rather than idealized. A place to come home to yourself and cultivate your inner sanctuary, where you can always return long after a session ends.
Lunar
The moon doesn’t generate light, it reflects it. When we look to the night sky, reality is reflected back to us from a different perspective we can not access during daylight hours. With the moon as our guide, we can illuminate emotional cycles, hidden truths, and the quieter forms of wisdom accessed through rest, reflection, and intuition.
Lunar energy is subtle, cyclical, and deeply tied to timing.
Nest
A nest is a sacred and safe space to rest, reflect, and be held. Nests are natural and made of earthy materials, but are often elevated, allowing for a higher perspective. A safe container for exploration, growth, and integrating the wisdom of the universe into our human experience.
Nest is a safe space to tend to what’s fragile, before we fly again.
Meet Liz O'Connor
An astrologer with a background in consulting,
psychology, & behavior change.
Astrology entered my life during a period of major upheaval, when nothing I had built or planned for seemed to hold anymore. Studying my natal chart and the planetary cycles shaping that chapter of my life helped me recognize long-standing patterns, reconnect with my inner wisdom, and rebuild the internal foundation I needed to move forward.
Astrology didn’t give me all the answers. It gave me a framework to understand my experiences and work with them consciously, tending to both practical decisions and deeper emotional processes.
Before becoming an astrologer, I spent over a decade working in change management consulting, supporting executives and teams to implement new systems and processes, communicate more effectively, and improve workplace culture. I learned to observe patterns, synthesize complex information, and identify the underlying dynamics that shape behavior change and decision-making.
Again and again, I saw that people rarely struggle because they lack capability, but because they don’t have orientation to what’s happening or why. Today, I apply those same skills to help people navigate change not just at work, but across all areas of their lives.
