Merrylin LeBlanc

Merrylin LeBlanc is KSFR’s resident astrologer, an unusual and unofficial position in a radio station, but like others born when the Sun is in Aquarius, Merrylin’s heart follows a course taking her into unusual situations where she can use her talents at making things better. She has been producing Moonwise and Moon Minute on KSFR since the summer of 2000, after having broadcast the show on KVSF here in Santa Fe beginning in 1993, when she came to New Mexico from Berkeley, California.

Merrylin’s background is in education, and she taught and held leadership roles for twenty years. While working on a doctoral degree at the University of California, Berkeley, she became disenchanted with the cosmetic attempts to transform the educational system. She turned to the challenge of transforming individuals, namely herself, with the hope of inspiring others to do the same along the way. First, Merrylin renewed her love of metaphysics and expanded upon it since her early college days as a Dominican nun studying Thomas Aquinas. She took to astrology like a soul mate reunited with a beloved after several reincarnations, wanting to raise the astrological literacy of a world only familiar with Sun sign horoscopes in newspapers. Astrology can be used to explore many levels of existence, and Merrylin’s mission as host of Moonwise is to bring awareness of the various uses of Astrology to the public.
