About
I read charts the way other people read faces.
I write books for parents, to explain their kids. Every child carries a sky of their own, and my job is to put that sky into plain language: the personality, the moods, the things that light them up, the things that set them off.
It's built on a curious mix of psychology, mythology, and a few thousand years of people staring at the sky and taking notes. Carl Jung meets cosmic cartography.
What's inside
What I do
- Bespoke illustrated books, one child at a time.
- Readings for your child, for you, for the whole household.
- Synastry — the parent-and-child read, where it clicks and where it grates.
- Sessions in English, Spanish and Italian.
What I don't do
- Predictions about your child's future.
- "You will become a doctor" — not a fan.
- Anything that turns a small person into a fixed fate.
- Crystal balls. Mine are all books.
It's not magic (though it feels like it). It's just the art of understanding what the sky has been trying to tell you about your kid all along.
My approach
I base my approach on a curious mix of psychology, mythology, and a refusal to tell your kid their fate.
Tiny Astro exists because parenting is an act of pattern recognition: you're constantly trying to figure out why your child does what they do, and what they need that they can't yet put into words. Astrology, used well, is one more lens for that. Not a prediction. Not a label. A way of noticing.
What’s "psychological astrology"?
I read charts the way a developmental psychologist might read a personality: planets as inner drives, signs as the language those drives speak in, aspects as the conversations happening between them. A Moon in a sensitive sign isn't a fortune, it's a clue: this child may need more time to feel safe before they open up, and that's worth knowing at drop-off, not just in a reading.
Why children specifically?
Adult astrology tends to answer "who am I and what should I do about it." A child’s chart asks something different: who is this person becoming, and how do I support that becoming without overriding it? I built Tiny Astro around that second question — for the friends around me who’d just had kids and had absolutely no idea what to do with them, staring down a tiny, specific person with zero instructions attached.
The first fourteen years are a strange, narrow window: personality is already there, whole and specific, but the child usually doesn't have the words for it yet, and neither do you. A chart won't explain your kid for you, but it gives you a place to start looking — a reason one kid needs quiet before school and another needs noise, why one shakes off a bad day in minutes and another needs the whole evening. Not answers so much as better questions, asked earlier than you'd otherwise think to ask them.
That's the age I built this for: personality still soft enough to shape, and sturdy enough to already be unmistakably them.
Who am I?
I'm Anna Palmer, an astrologer working at the intersection of psychology and the sky, with ten years of study behind me: certified under Debra Silverman, trained at the MISPA School of Astrology, and thoroughly converted to the psychological approach along the way: astrology used consciously, not as fortune-telling. Before Tiny Astro, that meant reading charts to understand myself, then everyone around me. These days it means reading them for the smallest, most complicated humans of all: kids.
