My journey with astrology began nearly twenty years ago, in my early twenties, alongside my discovery of tarot, alternative spirituality, and psychedelics. What started as a self-taught exploration evolved into a formal study with professional astrologers and intensive workshops. In 2016, I completed a two-year study in astrologer Steven Forrest’s Apprenticeship Program, earning a level II certification as a Forrest-trained evolutionary astrologer.

My astrological counseling work blends psychological and evolutionary astrology and is informed by a deep fascination with astrology’s complex history and diversity. I also integrate and draw from a range of ancient techniques and perspectives. I see life as a confluence of choice, creativity, karma, and destiny. Astrology helps us navigate and engage with this complexity in a more informed and conscious way. I also have a deep interest in mundane astrological research and periodically publish writings about major astrological alignments.

Alongside my professional practice, I have a background in cultural anthropology, having studied at both undergraduate and graduate levels, including earning a postgraduate certificate with distinction in Cultural Astronomy and Astrology from the University of Wales Trinity Saint David.

In addition to astrology, I have a deep interest in holistic health, herbal medicine, philosophy, psychology, consciousness, paranormal phenomena, and electronic music production. I am also a gay and autistic astrologer and very neurodivergent and LGBTQ+ informed and inclusive :-)
