I'm Brittany Binowski
Hey, there!
I bring my expertise as a journalist in communicating complex subject matters in simple ways to my personal passion — astrology.

Journalism has no heart & soul
I started Ethereal Astrology in 2017 under a different name — Wonder Girl Astrology. My goal at the time was to give myself a creative outlet that allowed me to express myself in an authentic way and help others. Before that, I had been working as a journalist at a newspaper in Salt Lake City. The work was fine, but I felt it was unfulfilling, leading me to write story after story I had no real interest in that wasn't making an impact on the world. In addition, my unique ideas about the journalism industry and how it should work left me feeling alienated. And this was not the first time that had occurred.
These challenges had also been present at the myriad of other companies I had worked at in New York City since beginning my career. As a result, I felt I only had three options: 1) Stay in journalism, even if it wasn't fulfilling, and pursue fulfillment in other areas outside of work. 2) Change my career to a totally different field. 3) Start my own business that combined my love of communication with my personal interests. I chose option three. I couldn't stand having a job that was not fulfilling, and I wasn't sure what else I would do with my "soft skills" in communication. Since then, my business has changed a lot — but one thing remains the same, my work is still an outlet for me to find fulfillment and help others.
Astrology helped me navigate some difficult times
I had no dark night of the soul, or big spiritual awakening. I have always been spiritual since I was young, and felt like my life was guided by the Divine. However, In 2010, I was going through a major life upheaval, and needed a little bit of extra support. That was when I began to seek out astrology to give me more language and tools to understand my situation.
My dad had just passed away unexpectedly. A 5-year on-and-off relationship with my first love had ended. I had also just graduated with my undergraduate degree and moved far away from home to pursue my master's. Astrology helped to ground me during that experience and better make sense of what I was going through.
Over the course of the next seven years after that, I sought out any information I could find on astrology that interested me. That included the work of Susan Miller, The Leo King, and Jeffrey Wolf Green. Jeff Green's work has become the most influential in my current practice. Green was the only astrologer I found that had in-depth teachings about planets squaring the nodal axis, which is a defining part of my own natal chart, and clicked a lot of things into place for me.

I aim to make my horoscopes easy-to-understand, sophisticated and nuanced, and inspired by the Divine.
