TRACY WARD

VIRTUAL ASSISTANT

Sun in Libra, Moon in Sagittarius, Leo Rising

I was raised in a health food store, which my mother owned and operated for 24 years. Growing up in a health conscious environment taught me a lot about natural medicine and, as a result, I haven’t taken any prescription drugs in decades. I've raised two amazing daughters who now own a farm in upper Michigan with many different animals. I’m very proud of them for working toward living a self-sufficient lifestyle! Once I settle down in my travels, I’ll likely plant myself (and a pinball table) on their land.

As a part of Heather’s team, one of my jobs is to answer your questions and to provide customer support to Heather’s students and clients, but I pretty much do a little bit of everything around here!

Fun Facts:

• I’m currently a traveling gypsy nomad visiting friends, family, and places I’ve never been all while finding locations to play pinball during my travels.  
• I absolutely find joy in cooking for others and once worked as a lunch lady cooking for over 1000 kids a day.  

What I love most about being Heather’s Virtual Assistant & Student Support Specialist:

“I love working for Heather, her team, and being here to help people in their astrological journeys!  I may not know much about astrology, but I truly love being able to support the customers and help Heather with all the behind the scenes work, essentially the “wizard gypsy” behind the curtain!”

PROFESSIONAL ASTROLOGER & LEAD TEACHING ASSISTANT: COSMIC ACADEMY OF ASTROLOGY

Sun in Capricorn, Moon in Scorpio, Leo Rising

I live in Wexford, Ireland, where we have some of the best beaches in the country and I love spending time there and in the forest that runs along the coastline. I am married with two sons, and I am very blessed with my family, we have a great life together.

I have two degrees; one is a B.A. in Social Studies and the other is a BSc. in Digital Marketing. I am also an Akashic record reader.

I have always loved to study astrology; I have hand drawings from when I was about ten years old when I wanted to figure out my chart and Ascendent sign.

I learned astrology from lots of books and online sources and courses but when I discovered Heather’s Cosmic Academy of Astrology it all came together. I loved learning every day, and it was just what my Neptune/Mercury mind needed for the pieces to fall into place. 

Fun Facts:

• I love to travel and take photos everywhere I go. I love to make digital art pieces from my photos of nature, I find it so calming.
• I was a body piercer and a tattoo studio manager for many years, which was great fun. 

What I love most about being a Teaching Assistant in the Cosmic Academy of Astrology:

"I am so excited to work as a Teaching Assistant with Heather and the team in the Cosmic Academy of Astrology to help students to discover all of the layers and nuances about themselves and to learn the language of Astrology so they can go on to help others."

CHELSEA GANTT

SOCIAL MEDIA MANAGER & LEAD TEACHING ASSISTANT: MEDICAL ASTROLOGY MASTERY

Sun in Leo, Moon in Libra, Virgo Rising

I’ve been immersed in the language of the stars for over a decade, using astrology as a guiding tool to better understand my cycles, the people in my life, and even the world around me.

Around the same time I discovered astrology, I also began exploring holistic health—and it was a life-changing period. Astrology awakened my mind to greater truth and self-awareness, while nourishing practices and lifestyle shifts began to heal and transform my body.

After seeing loved ones struggle to find real answers or lasting solutions through the conventional healthcare system, I knew deep down that we hold more power over our health than we’re often led to believe. Our environment, habits, thoughts, and choices—what we feed into our body, mind, and soul—shape our well-being in profound ways.

For years, I asked myself how to bridge these two worlds: the intuitive wisdom of astrology and the tangible practices of holistic healing. Medical astrology became the answer.

It offered a framework to connect the dots between planetary patterns and physical health—to uncover root causes, understand energetic imbalances, and support vitality with precision and clarity. It also revealed just how unique we each are, highlighting our personal cycles, patterns, and predispositions when it comes to health and healing.

Our bodies carry cosmic intelligence—and when we learn to work with it, true healing becomes possible. Medical astrology helps us reconnect with our body’s rhythms, our soul’s timing, and the deep connections between health, purpose, and planetary cycles.

Fun Facts:

• My dog Pharaoh, is a rare breed of about 200 in the United States. He is also an ancient breed, known as a Cirneco dell’Etna. There is ancient lore of 1,000 of them being used to protect the temple of the Sicilian fire god, Adranos. According to the lore, they have the divine ability to detect thieves.
• I have been trained to use my voice to induce a deep state of hypnosis, which just takes a few minutes for most people.

PROFESSIONAL ASTROLOGER & STUDENT SUPPORT SPECIALIST 

Sun in Leo, Moon in Aquarius, Aries Rising

I am a wife and mother of four beautiful children (Jupiter in the 5th much?) who we homeschool. I am very passionate about natural healing and have always been interested in taboo subjects since childhood.

Astrology has been part of that but it wasn't until my late 20s I feel like I truly understood the accuracy, depth and all-encompassing nature of it. It felt like a synthesis of all of my interests and previous studies and I view it as one of the most potent tools for healing and self-actualization available.

It's part of my mission to raise awareness around this ancient yet forgotten craft so people can navigate their lives with more acceptance and amplify their co-creative powers.

It's such an honor to work for Heather who is a primary teacher of mine. I discovered her work and the Cosmic Academy of Astrology after a lot of rabbit hole diving and she helped bring coherence to my understanding and be able to fluently speak the language of astrology.

I'm so happy to assist her students on their own quest of knowledge!

Fun Facts:

• Each of my children were born at home. Two with a midwife and two unassisted.
• I prefer stick shift and love driving fast while listening to metal!
