We had the good fortune of connecting with Theron Patterson and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Theron, we’d love for you to start things off by telling us something about your industry that we and others not in the industry might be unaware of?
One aspect of the astrology industry that outsiders are often unaware of is that astrology goes beyond surface-level information. It serves as a powerful tool for empowering individuals, helping them discover their true potential. It is essential to understand that we are not solely defined by the sign we were born under. Astrology encompasses a complex interplay of all the signs, with each person having a unique combination and expression of these signs.

Astrology has the ability to unlock blockages and guide individuals toward fulfilling their true purpose. When properly interpreted, it can bring awareness to deep-seated emotions that are difficult to articulate. It helps individuals gain insight into their inner selves, providing clarity and understanding.

When I first started learning about astrology, I embarked on a journey of self-discovery through my birth chart. This process helped me validate the environment I was born into and solidified why I often feel compelled to follow my own path, rather than conforming to societal norms.

Ultimately, astrology should be seen as a tool to solidify or rebuild the relationship one has with oneself. It guides individuals toward understanding what they are truly compatible with, creating a life that offers ease and fulfillment.

What should our readers know about your business?
I am a Mystic Road Opener who utilizes astrology, human design, and divination tools to help unblock potential. Through these tools, I provide empowering information that enables individuals to overcome the barriers that once hindered their progress. I have been practicing astrology for four years, and recently, I have incorporated Human Design into my practice as well.

In essence, my goal is to provide for others what these tools have done for me. They have helped me establish a profound connection with myself, empowering me to move forward authentically.

We would love to hear what sets you apart from others and what you are most proud of or excited about.

What sets me apart is my intuitive connection with each birth chart. I tap into what Source wants individuals to know in the present moment. While I do answer specific questions, my readings are most fulfilling when clients simply sit back and listen to the divine message.

How did you get to where you are today business-wise?

I have been self-employed for over 18 years, previously working as a hairstylist. Towards the end of my hairstyling career, I felt a lack of connection with my business, which affected my motivation and creativity. In pursuit of self-development and self-care, I began studying astrology, and it completely changed my life. Since then, I have been dedicated to this path.

Was it easy? If not, how did you overcome the challenges?

No, it was not easy. When I mention connecting intuitively, I truly mean it. However, let me clarify that I am not a fortune teller but rather a Mystic Road Opener. I assist individuals in gaining self-awareness to make necessary course corrections on their path toward reaching their potential. The information that can be revealed during a chart reading can be profound. I had to learn to gauge how much information someone wanted because I realized that not everyone desires to delve too deeply.

What are the lessons you’ve learned along the way?

One of the significant lessons I’ve learned is that we are meant to live joyful lives—lives that align with our own desires rather than conforming to societal expectations. However, societal norms and expectations can often lead us astray from our intended path. We are meant to have a healthy attachment to people, places, and things, but sometimes we hold on too tightly, impeding transformation and growth. I have discovered that by loosening our grip, we create space for flow and allow for greater personal evolution.

What do you want the world to know about you, your brand, and your story?

We are all riding the same roller coaster of life, albeit in different seats. We are constantly navigating the ups and downs, trying to make sense of it all. However, you don’t have to figure it out alone. My role is to see you, hear you, and remind you to keep your eyes open during the ride. Together, we can embrace the journey and navigate it with greater awareness and understanding.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
If a guest visited Atlanta, I would definitely take them to Little Five Points to explore the unique shops and perhaps enjoy a delicious Vortex burger. Throughout the week, we would also make sure to visit Ponce City Market and have some food and drinks at Bar Vegan. If they’re interested in live music, catching a concert at The City Winery or Maple House Amphitheater would be a great choice. We could also take a leisurely walk through the High Museum to appreciate the art on display. For breakfast, I would recommend trying The Breakfast Boys in College Park. And at some point, a visit to the Atlanta Botanical Garden would be a must to enjoy its beautiful surroundings.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I choose Sunceray Rhymes. Witnessing her business growth and the realization of her dreams has been truly inspiring. I have heard her articulate her goals for her business, and to see her now accomplishing exactly what she set out to do is nothing short of inspiring. Her determination and commitment to making her dreams a reality serve as a powerful example for others. IG: @fade_effect
