Hi, I’m Dena DeCastro.

My fascination with astrology began as a child in the '70s. My parents’ astrology book kept me captivated for hours, so curious about the mysteries of my Sun sign, Cancer.

Inspired by my dad’s love of Tarot and my mom’s astrologer friend, I pursued extensive training in Evolutionary Astrology.

Now, 25 years later, I’m dedicated to helping others use astrology for self-compassion and growth.

Whether you know little about astrology or you’ve spent years studying it, I offer readings and educational resources tailored to your needs.

Learn more about my offerings below—I’m excited to connect with you!

Whether you’re at the beginning of your astrology career or you’re just curious about the basics, you’ve come to the right place.

Astrology Software

What is astrology software?

Astrologers and enthusiasts use software to cast, save, and tag natal charts. Years ago, I did this by hand, but software empowers me to keep all my notes and interpretations in one place.

LUNA Astrology is my favorite software for both personal and professional use. It’s beautiful, easy to use, and beginner friendly with educational information about zodiac signs and celestial bodies. 

Most importantly, it enables novices and professionals alike to use astrology as a tool for personal growth.

  • Dena is simply incredible. The first time we spoke, I felt like I was speaking with someone who had known me my entire lifetime and beyond. Her insight and wisdom has put me on a path to happiness and success. Most importantly, she has opened my eyes to the awareness I needed to get there. Highly, highly recommend. I have been telling all of my family members and close friends to connect with her.

  • What a phenomenal natal chart reading! Dena provided so much indepth explanation about planetary placement in my birth chart. She discussed strengths and potential challanges with a lot of great advice on how to work with both. The root cause of many life long patterns became very clear to me, as well as a way forward. I highly recommend her and look forward to my next session.

  • The readining was so powerful and insightful. Every part of the reading was laid out perfectly. I took copious notes. You are SO GOOD at what you do. What makes you a powerhouse astrologer is not just reading the chart... stars/planets/houses/etc, but also your insight. Your intuition is fine tuned! I ate up your words of advice and encouragement.

    Danny Cole

  • One of the only things I do for myself on my birthday is get myself a year ahead reading from Dena. There's nothing better than a metaphysical timeout with her. To reflect on the last year and build all sorts of curiosity towards the next. I feel so supported and seen. Her lens and her way of doing readings is beyond stellar and comparable to none! She is such a wise sage.

  • I had a Soul Purpose reading from Dena and it was amazing! Dena is so kind, gentle, knowledgeable, and thorough. I was amazed how she was able to connect everything and give insight to my start chart. Highly recommended!!

    Jenny Talbert

  • I had an incredible and truly insightful "Soul's Purpose" reading with Dena in the spring of 2023. Her guidance made me feel more confident about the new directions my life is taking. It felt amazing to get such a thorough chart reading - I never really fully understood my planets and placements, and the reading with Dena deepened my knowledge and understanding of myself. I'm looking forward to more readings in the future!

    Kathryn Zenger

  • I have had many astrology readings over the years, and I really enjoy Dena's approach. She is ready with advice on how to best work with the energies in the chart, points out the important aspects for the year, and explains clearly how it all interrelates. Thus far, she's been right on with timing and overall the information is really useful.
