The outline of a lighthouse on a cliff sits in front of a yellow circle on the left side of the image. A rainbow emanates from this lighthouse, going right until the edge of the image is light green. Over the rainbow, white text reads: astrology, hypnosis, tarot. Welcome to the Joy of You! A curling white arrow points down towards the rest of the page.

One way we get free is by helping each other heal.

TJ, with short bright yellow hair and black stud earrings, looks at the camera with a slightly astonished expression. Their hair matches the yellow-orange of a rectangle on a poster behind them, askew in a dark blue field.

My name is TJ Querio (they/them). I am learning from the Anishinaabek way of introduction. I was born at the Place of Narrow Waters (also known as Leelanau County), on the shores of Keskibiag (South Lake Leelanau), near the shores of Ininwewi-gichigami (Lake Michigan). I was born to the big waters of the ancestral home of the Anishinaabek peoples of the Council of the Three Fires (Ojibwe, Ottowa, and Potowatomi). My parents and I moved to the shores of Lac Leman (Lake Geneva), Switzerland and the feet of the Salève and Jura mountains when I was seven. When I was eight, we moved to Lagos, amidst the waters of Ọ̀sà (Lagos Lagoon). When I was almost eleven, we moved back to Lac Leman, the Salève, and the Jura. When I was nine, my parents took on distanced-stewardship of a farm near Ponti, Alessandria in the Piedmontese foothills, near the river and once-village of Quer. Since the age of eighteen, I have lived in Utrecht, the Netherlands, amongst the Kromme Rijn, Oudegracht, Nieuwegracht, Catharijnesingel, and Amsterdam-Rijnkanaal waters. Most recently, I make my Nest by the Klop and Vecht, with my cat Suus.

I am an astrologer, dramaturg, and wordsmith. I am queer and autistic. I am of the Pluto in Sagittarius generation.

I am committed to Love and Liberation for all.
