In my line of work—whether consulting a Caribbean nation’s national security force, teaching homeland security, or training the next generation of law enforcement leaders—people expect me to lead with credentials: degrees, badges, clearance levels, awards.
But not long ago, I found myself exploring a different kind of credential: my birth chart. Yes, astrology—the ancient cosmic code we carry from the moment we draw breath. And to my surprise, it mirrored my life’s work with uncanny accuracy.
🔍 A Life of Justice, Foretold in the Stars
Born on under the Pisces Sun, with a Gemini Moon and Cancer Rising, I discovered that my chart reads like a poetic preface to my CV.
Sun in Pisces, 9th House: A truth-seeker, compelled to understand justice, law, and global ethics. From Interpol cases to EU-backed training missions in Jamaica and Nicaragua, my career has been a literal embodiment of that solar path.
Moon in Gemini, 12th House: A sharp mind working behind the curtain—designing policy, training programs, and influencing change from within. My emotional compass has always guided me toward silent yet substantial reform.
Cancer Rising: Perhaps the most defining trait of my presence—protector, mentor, shield-bearer for those in danger or transition. I’ve been a guardian in uniform and a guide in the classroom.
🛠 Saturn, Mars, and Mercury: Tools of a Builder
Saturn in Capricorn (6th House) is about building legacies through discipline. I see that reflected in the 38 years I’ve spent shaping systems, not just working in them.
Mars in Gemini (12th House) explains my preference for strategic influence over loud authority. I've done my best work from a thoughtful, measured place—never needing a spotlight.
And Mercury in Aries (10th House) gave me the voice and courage to say what others wouldn’t—whether on a podium, on the page, or in front of a classroom full of future officers.
🧭 This Was Always the Plan
As I reviewed my chart, what struck me most wasn’t the alignment—it was the validation. I haven’t just lived a life of service. I’ve lived the life I was meant to live.
From policing South L.A. in the '80s, to reviewing national anti-terrorism strategies, to teaching ethics and leadership at universities around the world—this wasn’t random. My chart reminds me that the blueprint for this life was etched into the heavens before I ever wore a badge or wrote a book.
💥 Conclusion: The Winter Is Where the Fire Burns Brightest
Some call these later years the winter of life. But to me, winter isn't an end—it's a distillation. What once burned as youthful ambition now burns as enduring purpose. I’m not here to slow down. I’m here to ignite legacy.
My birth chart didn’t tell me anything I didn’t already feel in my gut. But it did something better: it gave me permission to own my journey—not just as a resume or reputation, but as a sacred mission.
So if you're reading this, wondering if it’s too late to understand your path, let me tell you:
The stars still speak. And they speak of who you've always been.
