Astrology for radicals — like you.

Let’s reimagine astrology.

My name is Candace Kita, and I believe in using astrology to cultivate power, potential, and radical possibility. Grounded in an expansive, intersectional approach, I provide readings, original birth chart art, online courses and workshops, horoscopes and forecasts, and consultations for groups, projects, and businesses.

My astrology practice seeks to nourish and amplify movements towards justice, liberation, and self-determination, especially those by and for people of color. I use astrology as a way to:

  • Build power in response to systemic oppression.
    I believe in astrology that examines and challenges belief systems and cultural narratives that limit our abilities to fully flourish and thrive, both individually and collectively.

  • Cultivate our unique potential.
    I believe in astrology that recognizes our individual complexities and actively elevates our gifts and talents.

  • Envision bold possibilities.
    I believe in astrology that imagines radical futures and helps us manifest them.

I also welcome creative collaborations, pairing astrology and food, astrology and clothing, and astrology and social justice, to name a few intersections that interest me. Have an idea for a project or collaboration? Contact me. Let’s reimagine what astrology can do for ourselves and for each other.

 
 

About Candace

 
Candace Kita by JOOP JOOP CREATIVE (Rectangular).jpeg
 

Candace is an astrologer and cultural worker committed to building individual and collective power.

I have been reading since 2017 and am a graduate of the Portland School of Astrology, whose teachings examine astrology through the lenses of race, class, body, age, gender, sexuality, and ability and seek to infuse astrology with liberation and empathy. I have presented at the U.S. Department of Arts & Culture’s CULTURE/SHIFT convening, the Oregon Astrological Association, and the Portland School of Astrology’s annual conference, and I am the author of the zine Astrology and Wellness for Radicals, which is currently sold by Kindred Post, The Future, and Seagrape Soap. I believe first and foremost in astrology as an interpretative storytelling and relationship-building technique, allowing us to redefine and retell our personal stories and explore our own innate power.

My astrological approach weaves within it my eclectic background in visual art, writing, community organizing, and nonprofit arts administration. Alongside my astrological practice, I serve as an Arts & Culture Program Officer at The Kresge Foundation. I am a proud alumna of Scripps College, and in my spare time, I dabble in ecstatic dance and read voraciously.

Candace is the astrologer I didn't realize I was looking for.

Having someone who is educated in astrology and the complexities of intersectionality between race, gender, and spirituality was very uplifting. I felt I was in a safe and informative space and came away from the reading with new insights and food for thought. I would highly recommend Candace to anyone looking for a first, second, or 20th reading!

 

Candace's reading was a welcome invitation to delight in my placements.

The information provided was poetic, well-organized, and inspiration for truly radical perspectives on personal & collective purpose.

 

Candace and I had a great time exploring my chart together!

I really appreciated her attention to my specific interests in my chart. She quickly understood what i wanted to explore and facilitated a great conversation. Other touches made the experience great like a focus on artistic and creative expression, intersectionality and social justice issues all made for a very personal experience. Plus a watercolor birth chart?! What more could you ask for in your astrologer?
