Or which direction is truly yours? Asterian Astrology is a two-thousand-year-old star system in which you are not one of twelve signs, but one of twenty-seven stars.
Asterian Astrology is not new. The star positions it uses are the ones the ancient Egyptians aligned their pyramids to, and the ones Vedic astrologers in India passed down for thousands of years. In the West the keys to reading them were lost. In this system they have been recovered.
Around the beginning of the common era, Greek and Indian astronomers brought their knowledge together in a text called the Yavana Jataka. It describes the twenty-seven stars with their deities, animals and ruling planets.
Unlike Western astrology, Asterian works with the stars as they stand now, not with a calendar frozen thousands of years ago. The stars your reading uses are the stars you can see tonight.
Vedic masters such as Paramahansa Yogananda affirmed for centuries that this sidereal system works with the real position of the stars, and that it gives insight into the karmic path a person walks. A living tradition.
Twelve signs is a coarse grid. Twenty-seven stars gives more than double the resolution, and that is why people who never recognised themselves in their sun sign suddenly do recognise themselves in their Asterian star.
The system also goes a step beyond character sketch. Every star belongs to a deity and an animal. Four of those animals together form your personal totem: an image of the wisdom you carry, where your grounding sits, where your desire lies, and which spiritual path you walk.
Beyond that the system knows a personal star: a deity who accompanies your particular way. She is found by following three steps through your chart. In the tradition, this is the star you are here to reach in this life.
Twenty-seven stars with their Greco-Roman deity names, each with its own animal and planetary ruler. Wherever you were born on this circle is where your star falls.
From Dioscuri, the start of the zodiac, to Hermaia, the last star before the circle begins again. Read the short description of each star →
I work with people at turning points. Often a question has been running along for a while that ordinary terms cannot quite hold. Twelve signs could never quite hold you. Twenty-seven stars can.
For those who want more than Western astrology offers, or who never felt quite at home in their familiar sun sign.
For those standing at a turning point who want the outline of what is coming into view, before it declares its shape.
For those looking for the tradition that lies behind contemporary astrology, who want to work with a system that has stood the test of time.
What you take away: an archetypal image to work with, recognition of what you already sensed but could not name, and a place in a two-thousand-year-old tradition to hang your story on.
Sylvia! Wow! That astrological reading blew me away! I’ve had many readings over the years, but never one that captured my essence like you did. Thank you. Who am I? How do I live? Where am I going? Each reading is a live session of about half an hour in which I walk you through your chart personally, followed by a written PDF to keep. One price for all three: €95.
Who am I?
Your sun, moon and ascendant, each in their own star of the twenty-seven. Where the sun tells what you came to express in this life, the moon shows where you come from, and the ascendant points to where you are walking.
For anyone meeting the Asterian system for the first time.
How do I live?
The heart of the system. Four animals that together form your totem: the head stands for your wisdom, throat and shoulders for your way toward earthly abundance, torso and legs for where your desire lies, and the feet for the spiritual path you have to walk.
The extended version adds a sub-totem, which refines the picture.
Where am I going?
The ista devata, or personal star, is the deity who accompanies your particular path in this life. She is found by following the ruler of your ascendant star, and seeing which star that planet occupies in your chart.
In the tradition, this is the star you are here to reach in this life.
Who am I, how do I live, and where am I going? In one extended live session of an hour and a half I tell you the whole story: your core chart, your animal totem and your personal star. Afterwards you receive one PDF in which everything comes together.
You send me your date of birth, exact time and place. For a precise calculation the time matters down to the minute.
I calculate your chart according to the Asterian Astrology system, which I learned personally from my teacher Jade Sol Luna.
We speak for half an hour, in person or by video. I walk you through your chart, and afterwards there is room for your questions.
Within a few days you receive your reading written out as a PDF, to keep and return to.
I am a transformation coach and have worked for years with people at turning points in their lives. Moments when the old no longer fits and the new has not quite shown itself. Asterian Astrology has become, for me, a language that brings exactly that transition into focus.
What I offer in a reading is not a prediction and not a label. It is a mirror, sometimes unexpectedly clear, for where you come from, what you are becoming, and which gods keep you company along the way.
Choose the reading you are curious about and book directly. After booking I will contact you to arrange a time and ask for your birth details.
