From 1988 to 1990, Amy hosted a weekly hour-long radio show called “Good Heavens!” which evolved into a cable TV series, broadcast by North Shore cable stations in Massachusetts. For many years she wrote a “Good Heavens!” monthly Transit Report, outlining current astrological influences with the philosophy of promoting the positive, joyful use of astrology for spiritual enlightenment.
