“The astrologer is ‘the person who knows the conditions of the stars and their indications, and who informs at a specific time what happens as a result of them at that time and at a specified future time’" -

Abu Ma’shar, 9th C., the Great Introduction, trans. Yamamoto

Astrologer of 10 years studying the Afro-Asiatic traditions of horoscopic astrology. I specialize in practicing Hellenistic and Medieval Islamicate traditions from the pre-modern world. From The Bronx, New York City living in Orlando, Florida.

My study is informed by contemporary scholarship from Ali A Olomi, Liana Saif, Charles Burnett, Matthew-Melvin Koushki, and the late Keiji Yamamoto. My practice is informed medieval works of Abu Ma’shar, Sahl ibn Bishr, Masha’allah ibn Athari, Al-Andarzaghar, Dorotheus, their schools and their students.

In astrology, I am skilled as a practioner of Natal astrology, Elections, Interregations, continuous horoscopy, and world astrology.

In addition to astrology, I am skilled in geomancy, dream interpretation, omen watching, talisman-making, natural magic, rituals, divination, spiritual healing, and the occult sciences.
