A professional astrologer with more than 30 years of experience, Leslie McGuirk is a frequent presenter at Red Mountain spa and the #1 destination spa in the world, Rancho La Puerta in Mexico. Her popular talk on astrology as human design (and not fortunetelling) has been breaking attendance records for years. She has been heard on radio from coast to coast and has been appeared in The Jenny McCarthy Show, Elle magazine, Refinery 29, and Runner’s World magazine. She is also a featured speaker at astrology conferences. Her book The Power of Mercury, published by HarperCollins in 2016, is a fresh take on how Mercury shapes our essence from communication to relationships.

Leslie McGuirk will instruct guests of the m/s Paul Gauguin about the evolution of astrology and its place in history. Under the stars of the South Pacific, she will explain how everything in nature has a pattern, from tree trunks to snowflakes—and how we have a pattern as well: an astrology chart. Many great thinkers, including Leonardo da Vinci, Sir Isaac Newton, and Hippocrates, were devotees of the subject. Even Carl Jung was known to draw up astrology charts for his patients. Astrology has a rich place in the history of understanding the cosmos.

Leslie McGuirk will conduct interactive onboard classes, in which each guest can gain insights into his or her own personal wiring system.
