For over 10 years, I’ve used traditional western astrology as a tool for making sense of the world.
My Approach
I use a blend of traditional (pre 19th century) and modern (20th century and later) Western astrology, with an emphasis on ancient Hellenistic astrology techniques (3rd century BCE Greece).
I assess trends, timing, and recurrent themes in your life. This is meant to validate your experiences, increase self-awareness, and point out considerations for the future.

Influenced by Stoicism
Since learning Hellenistic astrology, I’ve also developed a huge interest in Stoic philosophy. The two subjects separately emerged in ancient Greece in 3rd century BCE. They complement one another due to their shared emphasis on identifying what is and is not in our control.
Astrology can clarify where you hold the most power in your life. It can also help you identify the external circumstances that are out of your control. This can help you direct energies appropriately and know when to give yourself grace.
