Hi, I’m Van.
I have been practicing astrology for over 5 years, blending techniques of modern astrology with powerful ancient techniques from the great Hellenistic traditions. My journey to astrology has been nothing short of circuitous. I spent many years pursuing careers I thought “made sense” to the rest of the world, considering astrology to be something I should practice in the dark (no pun intended). I have since realized that my calling is to bring this practice into the light, to share this magic with anyone who may be interested. Using the planets and stars as a tool to heal others heals me in turn, and I am forever grateful to everyone who has and will accompany me on this journey.
My Approach
Astrology is more than just looking at a diagram and delineating one’s fate and fortune—it’s a conversation between those seeking answers and those with the gift of translating the language of the planets and stars into digestible meanings. It brings me great honor to provide this translation service to any and all whose interest has been piqued by the glowing lights that dance above our planet. However, there are a couple disclaimers you should be aware of…
Even the ancient astrologers understood that a person’s life is more than what can be determined by simply looking at their natal chart. My goal is to help you understand how the planetary conditions you were born under influence your life, and how you can lean into the positive aspects and best mitigate the more challenging aspects of your chart.
I am not a fortune teller
2. I am not a therapist
Astrology is objective by nature. Modern-day popular astrology seeks to soothe the individual, offering fluffy, always-positive interpretations for even the most difficult planetary alignments. I believe it is my duty as a speaker of the language of the stars NOT to sugar coat my interpretations to make you feel better. My job is to provide honest, unbiased astrological insights that can help you better understand yourself and others.
