Hi, I’m Alex.
I’ve lived in London for much of my adult life, and I’ve been interested in astronomy for over two decades now, since I was around six or seven years old. Astrology came into my life a bit later, but it was always there in the background. In 2019, roughly around the time Uranus entered Taurus, I started to see it as something more than a hobby and began studying it formally and working with other people’s charts.
Once I found astrology, I became more and more absorbed in it as I realized just how much depth there was and how many different things you could actually do with it. Reaching my first Saturn return marked an important shift for me — a point where I felt ready to take my work more seriously and begin sharing it publicly, after giving myself the time to mature and grow in the field.
I’ve always been drawn to esoteric and spiritual subjects in general. As a kid and teenager, I was fascinated by magic, ritual, religion, and different forms of divination. I first came across Wicca when I was about eleven, and over the years I learned a lot about meditation and ritual practice. After that, the next major influence for me was the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. It’s often described as a system of self-transformation, and through it I started engaging with spirituality in a more structured and disciplined way. For a while I had a fairly consistent daily spiritual practice that included meditation, ritual, and divination, and it genuinely helped me a lot.
Divination was always part of that picture. I explored Tarot, studied the I Ching for some time, and eventually was introduced to astrology as a formal discipline. Some of the first astrology books I worked with were by Marion D. March and Joan McEvers, and that opened the door to studying astrology seriously rather than casually.
I initially started out with modern astrology, but everything really shifted when I encountered Liz Greene’s work. I’m not even sure how I came across it, but that was the point where astrology truly clicked for me. Her work felt deeply researched, psychologically rich, and in many cases almost academic in its depth. I became especially drawn to psychological astrology and used it extensively to explore my own life. It helped me ask questions about myself that I probably wouldn’t have asked otherwise, or would only have reached after months or years of therapy. For me, it was an incredibly powerful tool. As I went deeper into astrology, I found myself relying less and less on other forms of divination like Tarot, the I Ching, or Geomancy.
With that focus, I enrolled in my first formal astrology training and completed the courses at the Centre for Psychological Astrology in London. I then continued my studies with the Mercury Internet School of Psychological Astrology, which felt like a natural next step. At that stage, astrology was extremely effective for understanding inner states, psychological patterns, and mental or emotional challenges. But when it came to concrete external events, the predictive side felt more limited.
That changed when I discovered Chris Brennan’s work and enrolled in his Hellenistic Astrology course. This was a turning point for me. It felt like my understanding and practical skill in astrology jumped to an entirely different level. Traditional astrology suddenly made it possible to speak much more clearly about real-world events and timing. People tend to want practical answers — when difficult periods end, when things start moving again, when life opens up. Hellenistic astrology turned out to be remarkably good at addressing those questions.
Personally, I don’t think prediction is the ultimate goal of astrology, and I don’t use it constantly in that way for myself. But I do think something important happens when people realize that life events follow patterns and that fate, to some extent, can be studied. There’s something grounding about seeing that life unfolds according to rhythms larger than our personal will. Over time, that awareness can help people become less reactive, less anxious, and more accepting of difficult periods. Having some sense of timing can make life’s harder lessons feel more bearable.
After that, I continued studying electional astrology as well, again within the traditional framework. This is the branch of astrology that looks at the quality of specific moments and helps judge the likely outcome of actions taken at certain times. It made astrology feel incredibly alive and immediate. Whether it’s starting something new, having a difficult conversation, or deciding when to step back, looking at the chart of the moment can be surprisingly revealing. It can show when to push forward and when to wait.
At the same time, I do believe that people who are deeply in touch with themselves can often sense the right timing intuitively. Astrology, for me, often confirms that inner sense rather than replacing it. Psychological astrology helps you understand who you are and how you’re wired. Traditional astrology helps you understand how life unfolds in time. Together, they can support both self-knowledge and practical navigation.
Today, my own spiritual practice is much simpler than it used to be. My chapter with the Golden Dawn is over, and I don’t rely on astrology for every personal decision anymore. My practice now is mostly centered on meditation, and I’m deeply influenced by teachers like Eckhart Tolle, Ramana Maharshi, and Nisargadatta Maharaj. My approach to spirituality has become quieter and more stripped back over time.
Most of my energy now goes into researching astrology, refining techniques, and exploring areas that I feel are still understudied. I’ve long been interested in minor bodies like the Centaurs, especially from a psychological perspective, and I’m curious about how they might fit into a more traditional astrological framework. A lot of what I do is testing methods, comparing approaches, and trying to better understand why certain techniques work when they do.
Across cultures and throughout history, spirituality has almost always been accompanied by some form of divination. Alongside prayer, ritual, and meditation, people have looked for signs, omens, and ways to understand the flow of time. That makes sense to me, and in many ways my work sits within that long tradition.
Through this website and my videos, I’m sharing my approach to astrology, the methods I use, the research I’m doing, and the things I continue to discover along the way. Occasionally, I might also speak more broadly about philosophy or spirituality. I don’t have a rigid plan for what this turns into — I’m letting it evolve naturally, in the same way my path with astrology and spirituality has evolved over the years.
