For centuries, astrology has been used to navigate the mysteries of fate, power, and human destiny. From the courts of ancient rulers to modern seekers, the alignment of the stars has guided decisions, offering glimpses into both personal journeys and global shifts. But astrology is so much deeper and more complex than the daily horoscopes people skim online. What if I told you that there are over 50 different types of charts a professional, advanced astrologer can run—each unlocking a different layer of your life? What if I told you that astrology as we know it may have originated with the Phoenicians, my ancestors, before spreading to the Babylonians, Egyptians, Greeks, and beyond?

Astrology’s True Origins: The Phoenician Influence



The Phoenicians—the great seafarers and traders of the Eastern Mediterranean—are rarely credited with their contributions to astrology. Yet, historical records suggest that their influence may have been the missing link between the earliest star studies of Mesopotamia and the structured astrological systems of Egypt and Greece.

Phoenician sailors relied on celestial navigation, meticulously charting the movement of stars and planets, passing this knowledge along their vast trade routes. Some scholars believe that Phoenician priest-astronomers, much like those in Babylon, used planetary cycles to predict omens, fate, and even shifts in power. As they traded across the Mediterranean, their knowledge likely merged with Babylonian, Egyptian, and Hellenistic astrology, shaping what we now recognize as Western astrology.

Today, I carry this legacy forward—honoring both the ancient wisdom of my ancestors and integrating it with modern advancements in astrology.

Astrology Is More Than Just Your Birth Chart

Most people think astrology is just about reading a natal chart—a snapshot of the planets at the moment of your birth. But astrology is so much deeper than that. A true professional can run dozens of different charts, each offering unique insights into different aspects of life. Here are just a few:

  • Solar Return Chart – Your personal year-ahead forecast.

  • Progressed Chart – Tracks how you evolve over time.

  • Persona Charts: Tells the story of each planets rulings in your life, Persona charts dive into the layers of your psyche, celestial body by celestial body, making each one the center—exploring how each planet expresses itself as its own ‘mini you,

  • Electional Chart – Helps choose the best timing for important events.

  • Draconic Chart – A soul-level chart revealing past life karma.

  • Zodiacal Releasing – A predictive technique showing major life periods.

  • Horary Astrology – Answering specific questions using a chart for the moment of inquiry.

  • Medical Astrology Charts – Understanding body weaknesses and cycles.

And that’s just the beginning. Relationship astrology (synastry & composite charts, davidson and more) alone requires multiple techniques, location astrology goes far beyond just looking at an astrocartography map, and predictive astrology requires analyzing multiple layers of timing techniques.

Micro vs. Macro: Astrology Can Be Used for Anything

Astrology is not just personal—it’s also collective. You can use it to:

  • Plan your life cycles (career, love, health, finances).

  • Understand world events (economic trends, political shifts, global crises).

  • Predict market movements (many financial astrologers work with traders).

  • Choose the best times for major decisions (marriage, business launches, relocations).

  • Analyze relationship patterns (your love blueprint, partnership compatibility, past life connections).

Even in my coaching practice, when clients started with a birth chart reading, I could see their traumas, wounds, love styles, and subconscious patterns in a single glance. It was almost like a cheat sheet to their inner world. While I’ve now separated my coaching and astrology work (unless requested), the power of the chart remains undeniable.

The Fusion of Ancient & Modern: How I Read Charts

What makes my approach different? I don’t just rely on one system—I integrate Hellenistic astrology, Arabic points, modern asteroids, Vedic-derived rulership techniques, and intuitive channeling. Many astrologers overlook powerful celestial bodies like asteroids, Arabic Parts, and fixed stars—but these hold deep, ancient wisdom that completes the missing pieces of a chart.

I also believe that we are all part of a greater collective shift. Just as ancient astrologers like Nostradamus studied world cycles, I love predictive astrology—analyzing how individual charts link to macro events.

A Living Tradition

Astrology is not just an ancient science—it is a living, breathing tradition that continues to evolve. By blending ancient techniques, esoteric wisdom, and modern advancements, we gain a more complete understanding of both ourselves and the world around us.

If you’re ready to explore a deeper, more expansive level of astrology, I invite you to book a reading and experience astrology in a way that’s grounded in both the past and the future.
