Traditional Astrology Readings – Hellenistic & Medieval Islamicate Methods
I offer astrology readings rooted in the rich traditions of Hellenistic and medieval Islamicate astrology, two of the most sophisticated systems in the history of the astrological arts. These approaches developed in the ancient Mediterranean and Islamic worlds and focus on carefully honed methods of interpreting birth charts, forecasting, and understanding the planetary influence on all areas of life.
Topics we can explore include: Life direction, past experiences, career and vocation, spirituality, creativity, relationships, family dynamics, children, travel, and health and well-being.
My aim is to illuminate the ancient and captivating art of celestial judgment, to help you find clarity, meaning, and insight in the context of your own life and the world around you. I work with traditional techniques such as time-lord systems, profections, solar revolutions, and planetary dignities, always tailoring the reading to your unique chart and questions.
In a session, we might explore your natal promise, the foundational themes and potentials shown in your birth chart. We can also use forecasting techniques to understand where you are in life right now, what planetary influences are at work, and what’s coming up next. For those interested in planning or reflection, we can dive into the year ahead month-by-month.
I offer a free initial consultation, a chance for us to meet, talk about the topics you’d like to explore, and ensure you feel comfortable before committing to a full reading.

Astrology offers a unique lens on our lives, helping us understand the past, navigate the present, and anticipate the future. It fosters self-acceptance and connects us to larger cosmic patterns that shape our experiences.
Hellenistic astrology developed between the 2nd century BCE and the 7th century CE in the Mediterranean region, combining earlier traditions from Mesopotamia and Egypt. During this time, astrology was regarded as a natural science closely intertwined with philosophy and spirituality. It was used to interpret fate and divine will, drawing on Greco-Roman and Babylonian philosophies and cosmologies.
From the 7th to the 13th centuries, these astrological traditions were transmitted to the medieval Islamicate world, especially through the translation efforts centered in places like Baghdad’s House of Wisdom. In this period, the tradition was preserved, refined, and enriched by influences from Persian and Indian astrology, while maintaining its Hellenistic and Babylonian roots. This rich heritage later influenced European astrology during the Renaissance.
Many original texts survive today only in fragments or translations from Greek, Arabic, Persian, and Latin manuscripts. Since the late 20th century, there has been a revival of these classical techniques, led by scholars and practitioners such as Robert Zoller, Benjamin Dykes, and Chris Brennan. This revival allows modern astrologers to work directly with the authentic methods developed by early practitioners. More recently, new translations of Arabic sources by Dr. Ali A. Olomi have provided greater opportunities for the study of medieval Islamicate techniques. My work draws heavily on the research and translations of these scholars, and I am deeply indebted to their dedication and commitment.
Through my readings, I bring this ancient knowledge into the present, offering clear and accessible insights to help you explore your chart and uncover meaningful patterns in your life.
