About
Welcome and thank you for visiting my astrological site. My journey into the wisdom of astrology began in 2013, when I became completely over whelmed and inspired by something inside of me beckoning me to understand the language of the celestial stars. After years of self studying I began to take classes from traditional astrologer Donna Woodwell which led me into studying Hellenistic Astrology with Chris Brennan in 2019, I passed the certification exam with distinction. In 2021 I became certified as a practitioner in Horary Astrology through the School of Traditional Astrology, graduating with high marks. I learned directly from Deborah Houlding, Lee Lehman, Eve Dembowski and Wade Caves in a curriculum rooted in the method and practice by William Lily circa 1647. Horary astrology is a divinatory branch of astrology concerned with answering a question based upon the chart cast for the moment the question is understood by the Astrologer, Also many numerous short courses by legendary astrologer Demetria George and Dr Benjamin Dykes, and the works and text of Vettius Valens an astrologer who lived in Alexandria, Egypt in the middle of the second century, who`s works have been instrumental in understanding what the practice of astrology was like in ancient times.
My passion lies in discovering and understanding the symbolism within the natal chart and in using techniques drawn from ancient and modern sources, in synthesizing mythology and archetype that create a thread which weaves a web and sheds light on your sacred story.
Finding the right moment when the stars align in our favour, as astrology provides a map that guides and awakens us towards our unique individual purpose and destination and giving timing for each stage in our life journey.
I use techniques such as Transits, second progression transits, Annual and monthly perfections and Solar return charts to give time of when certain life topics arise in the life. My purpose in using astrology is to help people gain a deeper understanding of themselves and the story that is unfolding before them.
Finely, my other passion is my art. I am a practicing artist and graduated with a B.A. in Fine Arts from the University of South Australia in 1987 and a Graduate Diploma in Education from the Flinders University of South Australia in 1989.
