Astrology - After becoming interested in Astrology, I began casting Zodiac charts and then reports when I was 18 years old. At that time, I would calculate the astrological info into a zodiac chart wheel. I utilized an Ephemeris. An Ephemeris (Latin, originally from the Greek "ephémeros, -on," daily) is an almanac of the daily motions of the planets and stars. In addition I used mathematical logarithms to calculate the exact motion of the planets. Since I was fascinated with how different people appeared to behave like their astrological energies. Then I would type (by hand) a report explaining the Chart and Report of approximately 25 to 30 pages for my clients. I created The Scope, to offer Horoscopes/Astrology Charts and Reports to my clients.

Fine Arts - My zodiac birth information indicated that I had a love of fine arts, beauty, drama, theater, dance. etc. So, I naturally focused in the worlds of art, dance and drama, etc., and attended Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, NY graduating with a BFA Degree.

More Astrology - Simultaneously, as my Astrology skills expanded. I had fun shocking people as I studied them and then accurately identified their sun signs. It never failed when a Pisces person that I identified as a Pisces, said they did not believe in Astrology. It never failed! It was like they each read from the same book! Here is another humorous example. Capricorns, are all about business and finance and that is all they talk about. So Capricorns are rendered speechless when I ask, "Are you a Capricorn?" The Moon, Mercury retrograde and other planetary aspects with their effects on activities, also intrigued me. For a couple of months in one year, I kept hitting the lottery because of fortunate planets at the time and their relationship to my birth planets.

Teacher - Another strong aspect in my individual zodiac chart indicated that I would be a natural teacher, as well as encompass technology. So, after graduation, I began working as a caseworker in the NY City Social Services Department. Deciding to instruct, I taught young women in a NY City Social Services home for girls. The girls taught me how to crochet! Imagine that! It was all the rage at that time. Subsequently, I elevated crocheting from a relaxing hobby and crocheted various items, which I sold. I instructed at Medgar Evers College. Then, moving on I taught blind senior adults in the NY Association for the Blind (Queens Lighthouse) for nine years. When the Lighthouse introduced staff to computers, I discovered a natural and strong affinity for technology and helped other staff.

Technology - Combining both technology and teaching, I taught students at New York City business schools for three years. During that time, I attended NYIT (New York Institute of Technology) and took a couple of courses in Training and Learning Technology. Simultaneously, I snapped up astrology computer software when it appeared, to create Astrology Charts and Reports, thus saving hours creating one Chart and Report. Since 1977, I have provided computer training and support to computer users for various popular and proprietary company software in agencies, banks, educational environments, small businesses and mostly law firms. In addition, there were individual clients, whom I trained in their homes, offices, churches, etc.

The Scope - In 1997, I designed and created a website, to offer my horoscopes and called it The Scope ("Helping You Expand Your Scope!"). In 2000, I renamed my website to The Scope 2000. All of my interests and activities are still an integral part of my life. Now, I currently offer more Astrology/Zodiac items, Computer Training and my Crocheted Hats. These products and services incorporate all the things I love to do!

Right Now - Since late 2009, I decided to retire from providing training and support in the corporate world. Now I have expanded the offerings, services and products that I created and provide them via The Scope 2000.

View my products plus fun, changing content, interactive items (i.e., your compatibilities, your Sun sign and Chinese sign, NetManners, Birthday cards for you to create, the Reading Room) and more.
