Joanne has been a professional astrologer and writer since 1996. She has a Practitioner’s Certificate (from the Federation of Australian Astrologers), a BA degree in Journalism and Creative Writing (from Deakin University) and a Diploma in Education (from La Trobe University).

Joanne’s daily, weekly and yearly horoscopes are currently published in over 40 newspapers and magazines (and on websites) in the USA, Canada, the United Kingdom, Japan, India, Malaysia, Indonesia, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and the South Pacific. (Sales and syndication are handled by her agents Auspac Media and Canadian Artists Syndicate.) She also does personal consultations for celebrity clients around the world.
Joanne lives near the scenic Great Ocean Road (in southern Australia) with her Indonesian-speaking musician husband; two surfing Gemini sons; six chooks; two ducks; Dusty (the Diva Dog) and one blind magpie. She enjoys music, movies, meditation, reading, vegetarian cooking, travelling, walking barefoot on the beach and tending her two-acre permaculture garden.
