Rachel Ruth Tate

Rachel is much more than simply a Hellenistic astrologer and astrological coach.

Rachel’s youth and formal academic education culminated in dual B.A.s in Spanish Language and Latin American & Iberian Studies from Southern Methodist University. She was drawn to the service industry before the stars, and continued with extensive coursework and certification through both the Guild of Master Sommeliers and the Wine & Spirits Education Trust.  

Rachel gradually transitioned from there into the realm of wellness and the healing arts, becoming a certified NLP Practitioner and Hypnotherapist, receiving a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy certificate, facilitating Flotation Therapy, and completing coursework in Integrative Wellness + Life Coaching. She apprenticed to world-renowned meditation teacher, Benjamin Decker, and was later employed by world famous meditation studios, like Unplug and The Den.

Though the art of astrology came to her intuitively, Rachel also received her certification in the Fundamentals of Astrology through her longtime inspiration, premier Hellenistic astrologer and author, Austin Coppock.

From 2018 - 2020, Rachel co-owned and operated the now-closed DFW favorite meditation studio, The Refuge Meditation, with her brother, Alex. After shuttering the studio, she launched her public astrology practice and published a collection of poetry, Meditations on Being, which was released in 2020 by Deep Vellum, where Rachel also serves on the Advisory Board.

Today, Rachel resides in Waco, TX with her husband and two stepchildren, practicing astrology for private clients all over the globe. She also maintains a local food and beverage blog, Waco4All, leads yoga & meditation at Yoga 8, serves as sales & marketing director for the boutique Hotel herringbone in downtown Waco, and records “the astrology road show” daily on instagram & tiktok.
