I am a linguist by training, and I came to astrology the way I came to languages: through a long apprenticeship to patterns, and to the quiet grammar by which a life makes itself legible.
Method
My readings are rooted in the Hellenistic tradition, blending ancient techniques with modern insight to bring clarity and depth to your chart.
I work with the tropical zodiac, whole-sign houses, traditional rulerships based on the seven classical planets, and the classical aspects: the conjunction, sextile, square, trine, and opposition. When relevant, I also consider the outer planets for their generational and transformative influence.
To explore timing and personal evolution, I draw on annual profections, secondary progressions, planetary transits, solar arcs, and solar return charts.
I interpret your chart using professional software and an accurate birth time, always guided by ISAR’s Code of Ethics.
What I will and won’t do
The chart is well suited to questions of timing, relationship, and the shape of a season you’re moving through. What I won’t hand you is a verdict. You’ll leave with more to think with, not less to think about.
Some questions belong elsewhere: matters of health, diagnosis, or anything that calls for a licensed professional. I’ll point you that way rather than pretend otherwise.
On the cat
The engraving here is from a French periodical of the 1870s. I keep it because the figure looks tired in the right way: attentive, slightly unimpressed, refusing to be hurried. The cat I include for its own reasons.
