Joe is a passionate seeker, dedicated to sharing the wisdom he's accumulated over the years with others. With over 20 years of experience in IT and Cyber Security, he has cultivated a sharp analytical mind. However, a health crisis in his early 30s became a pivotal turning point, challenging his faith, body, and spirit. This struggle ignited a journey of self-discovery, unveiling hidden talents and passions. Through a deep exploration of darkness, Joe found a beautiful balance between his analytical and intuitive sides.
As an Astrologer, Reiki Master (Usui), and Herbalist, Joe’s practice is enriched with a diverse wealth of knowledge. A nature enthusiast, he draws from the wisdom of the four elements and various spiritual traditions to guide his work.

Story of YOU- Astrology Workshop
✨ Stories have a remarkable power to inspire us and bring us together.
✨ When guided by love, they empower us and foster healing.
✨ Conversely, when intertwined with fear, they can lead to suffering and a sense of victimhood.
✨ So, are you embracing your authentic story?
✨ Astrology offers us a beautiful framework to gain insight, helping us understand our unique place in the world and encouraging us to live authentically.
✨ Let’s embark on the Journey of YOU! Your birth chart holds incredible wisdom about your life, revealing essential lessons, unique gifts, and challenges designed for your growth.
We are thrilled to announce a special 1-hour workshop hosted by Golden Hour Counseling, PLLC, in collaboration with Joe Fournier, CEO of Story of YOU. Together, we will explore how astrology can illuminate your path in life's search for meaning and purpose. This exciting event will occur at GHC's community studio at 5 Market Sq, B9, Amesbury, MA, on 01913. You’ll have the chance to delve deeper into your birth chart, and if you're interested, you can also stay for a private mini-reading afterward.

We recommend wearing comfortable layers and bringing a water bottle or any items that help you feel relaxed during the workshop. We’ll be on the floor, and you will have access to materials such as yoga mats, pillows, and bolsters. However, feel free to bring any props that make your experience better. If you need chairs, tables, or other accommodations, just let us know—we’re here to support you!
✨ What is Astrology?
Astrology is a unique doorway to self-discovery. Your birth chart is like a treasure map that reveals your innate gifts, unexplored potential, and areas for personal growth. It’s a powerful reminder that everyone has a purpose and that our individual stories truly matter. Unlike personality tests affected by self-perception, astrology provides objective insights based on your birth data, suggesting a rich narrative your soul chose for this lifetime.
It’s common to grapple with inner conflict due to societal pressures that distort our true yearnings. Astrology can offer clarity, helping guide you back to your authentic self. The language of astrology, filled with archetypes, enables us to understand and articulate complex personality traits. By recognizing and embracing every aspect of ourselves—even those traits we once viewed as weaknesses—we cultivate self-acceptance, liberating ourselves from the chains of comparison.
If you ever feel disconnected from your chart, exploring those feelings can lead to profound understanding and growth. Embracing your unique qualities can uncover hidden gifts and empower you to reclaim your true essence. Ultimately, astrology celebrates individuality—each birth chart reading is a cherished opportunity to explore your uniqueness and express yourself fully and unapologetically.
✨ Meet Joe Fournier
Joe is a true seeker, dedicated to sharing the wisdom he’s garnered over the years with his community. With over 20 years of experience in IT and Cyber Security, he has honed his analytical thoughts. Yet, in his early 30s, a health crisis challenged his faith, body, and spirit, transforming it into a period of self-discovery and revealing many hidden gifts and passions. A profound journey through darkness balanced his analytical and intuitive sides.
Joe’s qualifications as an Astrologer, Reiki Master (Usui), and Herbalist bring his practice a rich tapestry of knowledge. A lover of nature and the four elements, Joe integrates insights from various wisdom traditions into his work. He is currently focusing on astrology readings, with plans to expand his offerings to include Reiki and more.
