When I was around nine, I spread every art supply I could find across my bedroom carpet, then spent hours lying on the floor, measuring and coloring a model of the solar system. I was trying to replicate the intricate designs I had seen in books, though I couldn't explain why at the time. All I knew was that the solar system represented the greatest mystery I knew, and understanding it felt essential.

As I grew, my interests shifted, some aligning with my passions and others leaving me unfulfilled. Then, during my Saturn return, I realized that one true calling had remained constant throughout my life. I found myself drawn once more to that same profound mystery, and in that moment, I committed to the study and practice of ancient astrology.

Today, I am part of the year 3 cohort in Austin Coppock’s Fundamentals of Astrology program, and I’m also certified in Chris Brennan’s courses on Introduction to Hellenistic Astrology and Electional Astrology.
