About my Solar Identity
In Astrology, it is the Sun that represents the sense of self and identity.
My 12th House Sun in Pisces (and sextile Neptune) is as watery and blurry as it gets. The Sun’s rays are filtered through oceanic depths, diffused and dissolved into a myriad little sparks of light. Grasping the whole picture of self becomes quite a task as the energies are constantly in motion, taking the shape of the vessel they are in and then slipping away as soon as they are released.
It’s like trying to see what is at the bottom of the sea- some days the water is clear and you can see all the little treasures. Other days, everything you have become familiar with is rearranged through the ebb and flow and distorted through the ripples created by the wind.
Yet, there is an unexpected side to all of this. The oceanic self of the Sun in Pisces in 12th House can carry fragments of the Universe, of lost comets and cosmic stardust. It can become a channel that allows these elements to flow into our everyday world and reach the souls in need of Spiritual contact. The raw material of Spirit is tumbled in the waters of the subconscious and when the time is right it is washed to the shore to be discovered.
This is what I hope to be and what I hope to offer you; little bits of the Universe that can be found in each of our souls and let you discover them through the celestial language of Astrology.
About my Astrological Journey
In June 2018 I discovered there is more to Astrology than just the Sun signs. This knowledge was presented to me through Olga Tokarczuk and her book ‘Drive Your Plough Over the Bones of the Dead’. A whole new world opened to me, which corresponded perfectly to my transits at the time. As Neptune was passing through my Saturn my current structure of life was dissolved, letting Astrology rearrange my way of looking at the world.
Since then I have been a keen student of the beautiful symbolic language of Astrology. I attended classes taught by Anna Estaroth in Edinburgh as well as online workshops with Bernadette Brady and Darrelyn Gunzburg of AstroLogos.
My favourite facets of Astrology are Karmic Astrology as well as Psychological Astrology. In my Astrological practice I like to look at the narratives unique to our Birth Charts and share them with others, so that they can make the most out of their planetary placements. What is once brought into consciousness can be fully embraced, valued and integrated.
If you would like to become familiar with my style of Astrology and Tarot, here is a recording of an Astrology Forecast I recorded for the Arthur Conan Doyle Centre and here is a playlist of videos where I am teaching the basics of Tarot.
About my Art
I have been doing art since I can remember. I have tried many different techniques and materials and experimented with different styles.
Up until today I don’t know exactly what my focus is, as I tend to drift between lino printing, painting, illustration, ceramics and photography.
Though I am certain of one thing. When I create I feel a connection with something greater. I let the process take over and guide me, which takes me to wonderful places. Often I just know what I’m supposed to draw or paint, the idea appears in my mind and unfold on the paper. It is a magical experience.
I also value practical skills and the self discipline required to perfect a craft. Through working with lino prints I am constantly reminded of patience, humility and attention to detail.
