  • My approach is listening to the client to understand the natal promise of their personal birth chart. I enjoy timing and prediction. I like technique and have studied many of the traditional ones at length, but only with the interaction with the client and divine signals from the oracle can I know what to reach for. I would describe my astrology practice as a well-rounded synthesis of ancient traditions. I came to it through the study of Hellenistic and then a deep dive into the golden era of early Medieval. Astrologers find themselves in a uniquely exciting time in astrology as so much of the ancient wisdom, seemingly lost to the sands of time continues to be translated, enriching current practices.

  • I practice traditional astrological methodologies, incorporating contemporary influences when appropriate. My focus is primarily Traditional astrology, rooted in Medieval and Persian techniques, using the Western tropical zodiac and Whole Sign houses, sometimes fused with transits of modern outer planets. I especially enjoy working with ancient timing techniques from the Hellenistic and early Medieval eras. Expect a conversation about the patterns of your life, rooted in classic astrological tradition, focused on honest and careful interpretation. I’ve worked with hundreds of clients from across the world. My approach is structured but flexible and integrates relevant timing periods and transits, leaning on my studies with esteemed teachers and my own ongoing consultation practice.
