I've been called the "wild twin" on many an occassion, but appearances can be deceiving. Sure, I might stripe my hair pink and corral friends into private karaoke rooms til' the wee hours of the morn, but hey, I've got a grounded side to me too. I like to keep my head in the stars and my feet on Planet Earth. While half of me thinks life is just a wacky illusion designed to advance our souls to the next level of the karmic journey, the other half of me loves to explore the material plane. Making things by hand, building websites, turning vintage treasures (scored at the Goodwill) into shabby-chic home decor...I can't get enough of it!

One of my personal missions is to be someone who can walk her talk in every area of life. If I'm going to dish out relationship, health, career, or money advice, I need to be actively engaged in growing and learning in these areas of my own life. Maybe it's the Sagittarius Sun that so respects naked truth. The disclipined Capricorn rising and intense Scorpio moon certainly help me stay focused. Sometimes, I get a little too hard on myself. I'd love to live a life of complete transparency, and use my own journey as an inspiring example for how other people can find fulfillment in truth and honor.

After eleven years of living a Carrie Bradshaw-like existence ("Stars in the City?") in New York, NY, my Macbook pro and I packed up and moved to Seattle in the name of love. My husband Cory is a fellow fire sign--he's an Aries and I'm a Sagittarius. No surprise, we met at Burning Man and got married there in a 40 foot, glowing "egg dome" made from white parachutes, PVC pipe, and a whole lotta sparkly things. These pictures from our annual "Burns" crack me up: it's like Tank Girl meets Rambo...or Ram Boy (harharhar).

At our wedding, it only seemed appropriate to be "given away" by my twin sister Ophi. As twins, we've practically been married our entire lives, sharing everything from a childhood bank account to our obsession with charting the stars. I hop regularly between Seattle and NYC now (a very yin-to-yang journey, I must say). While the cities definitely move at different paces, my fire sign home life with Cory burns brightly with creativity. He's as obsessed with old school Polaroids as I am with looking up friends' and celebrities' moon signs. While I'm writing, designing, or reworking vintage clothes for fun, he takes incredible photos, often borrowing me, Wendell and my newly adopted cat-son Bud as the unsuspecting subjects. Our younger sister Leora is a talented make-up artist in New York, so she's always on hand with tweezers and a pack of individual eyelashes to make our gazes "pop" if we need to make an on-camera appearance.

SO YOU WANT TO BE AN... ASTROLOGER?
As a seventh grader in Detroit, I scored a paper route. Before making my daily deliveries, I'd always sneak a peek at a few sections. First, I'd read the advice column by identical twin Dear Abby, then I'd look up my daily horoscope. Who knew that was a prediction of things to come?

While in my undergrad at The University of Michigan, my sister Ophi handed me a 20-page printout with my birth chart on it, I was like, "What?! How can anyone really know this about me?" It totally nailed me and I wanted to know why. So I started doing everyone's chart who would let me. I started seeing patterns among signs and planetary placements. I noticed trends among celebs who shared signs. (For example, many of the chart-topping, soul singing divas are Aries: Mariah Carey, Diana Ross, Celine Dion, Aretha Franklin...)

Over a decade later, I'm officially obsessed. I've sat face-to-face with celebs like Stevie Wonder and Avril Lavigne and talked about the stars with them. They say you've found your true career path when you enjoy doing something so much that you'd do it for free. That's how I feel about astrology. It's endlessly fascinating to me and I always wind up talking about it with people. And though it's not a rock-hard science, on some mystical, intuitive level, I've become a believer. Who woulda guessed? Now, our mom (who is a Rabbi) and our Israeli dad, regularly talk stars with us. They're both fire signs--a Leo and a Sag, together 40 years--so we're blessed to have parents who honor our creativity.

OTHER THINGS I'M INTO

• Road trips (with dachshunds on lap)
• Reconnecting with nature, earthy spirituality, and my latent hippie chick tendencies
• 11:11, The Mayan Calendar, and helping usher in the post 2012 era. It's not the end of the world, people, it's the beginning of true oneness consciousness!
• DIY fashion, interior decorating, and the challenge of turning cluttered rooms into Zenlike spaces
• Computer programming and web design
• Watching and supporting my friends as they start their own businesses
• Seeing Mt. Ranier on a sunny Seattle day
