Hi, I’m Claire Gallagher—author and astrologer for over ten years.

I know what it feels like to doubt everything within you.

In my early twenties, I found myself wrapped up in a toxic religious group. Through years of spiritual manipulation and abuse, my inner voice was consistently worn down until there was nothing left. Even years after fleeing this oppressive environment, I still couldn’t hear myself. I didn’t know what I needed, what I wanted, let alone know how to make decisions.

When astrology found me, everything changed. Finally, I had a map leading me home to my authentic self.

I spent years intellectually studying and practicing astrology only to find myself in a similar position—outsourcing my inner knowing to an external system. I knew something had to change, so I began experimenting. What started as a random journal entry became my go-to practice for quieting the noise and getting clarity on anything at any time.

I began journaling with the planets, talking to them as if they were wise parts of myself.

As I brought these inner planet parts out of the shadows and asked them to speak, I noticed that they were bursting at the seams to help me. My hands cramped from writing so fast for so long—each page overflowing with precious insight.

A cosmic breakthrough is at your fingertips. You just need to pick up your pen.

Over the years, I’ve refined this journaling practice into something I call Planet Channeling—a process where you surrender your pen over to a planet and allow it to share potent messages with you. Planet Channeling is so powerful and so life-affirming that I’ve devoted my entire practice to teaching others how to connect with their “inner planets” in this way.
