When I think about what Astrology means to me, I am carried back to a childhood memory: I am watching a meteor shower and making a wish. I don’t remember what I wished for, but I can still feel that moment, how awestruck I was by the phenomenon and by the possibility that the Universe might grant what my heart longed for so deeply. Yes, from a very young age I have felt a connection to the stars, and whenever I can, I trade the city for the embrace of a starry sky.
Jyotiṣa (ज्योतिष) is the Sanskrit term for Vedic Astrology and means “science of light,” with special reference to the Sun, Moon, stars and planets. Originating more than 2,500 years ago, Jyotiṣa is the astrology and astronomy of India, one of the most celebrated Vedāṅgas of the tradition, and is considered the “eyes of the Vedas.”
When we look at the night sky, all those stars we delight in are in fact a static canvas through which the planets (Grahas) move. The stars that make up a constellation are thousands of light-years apart, and yet we project patterns onto them, filled with meaning. In search of answers, our ancestors forged an intimate relationship with the rhythms of nature. The elements and the planets became deities, to whom rituals were dedicated in order to receive their blessings. Until very recently, this was how it was. How many of us have heard our grandparents say that they had to check the almanac to see if the tide was right for planting? In some parts of the world this relationship is still very much alive, and India is one of them. By observing the cosmos, we come to understand the cycles of nature, and from that observation arises compassion, a certainty that we are all part of one single consciousness.
In India, there is this search for freedom, for Mokṣa (मोक्ष). Astrology emerges as a body of knowledge that embraces science, art and magic, with the power to help us on that search. The term Jyotiṣa refers to the lights in the sky, but also to the light within us. It is this light, together with the passage of time, that reveals the question: who am I? Once understood, astrology becomes a structure we can lean on throughout life. It becomes a means, a sādhana, that helps us navigate the outer and inner worlds, supporting our true search for freedom.
The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are.

What I created for you
Your birth chart is a photograph of the sky at the moment you took your first breath, and so it holds a message that is unique to you. These sessions were created to give you a detailed view of different aspects of your life, as well as an understanding of the moment you are in and what you may experience in the future.
Many themes can be explored in depth: career and vocation, finances, relationships, family, children, health, education, spirituality, travel, or any other subject that is meaningful to you. Sessions take place on Zoom and have a relaxed format, with room for questions and sharing. If this is your first session with me, it will serve as a foundation for our journey together.
Understanding the fruits of our Karma is not an easy journey, but when we are guided by a tradition, it becomes easier to let go of resistance and trust that we have everything we need to face and overcome whatever comes.

I've always been very curious about astrology. And the session I had with Cindy was a fantastic journey, a trip, and an invitation to reflection! Being able to look at my birth chart and follow Cindy's interpretations was spectacular! I highly recommend it.

I'm not an expert on astrology, signs, and the like, but I'm always interested in learning more about what I don't know. Knowing the dedication and love that Cindy put into this project, we scheduled a birth chart session. It was very interesting, and the best compliment I can give is that the time flew by. Without going into too much detail, I'll add that I got to know myself a little better, or understand myself a little better, if you prefer, and isn't that what we all want?

In a world that seems to be upside down and searching for answers, I heard about astrology and the light it could bring to my own life. Cindy's demeanor, so serene, so calm, yet so captivating, made our session leave me feeling fulfilled and at peace with myself. Feeling that the person guiding you does so with dedication and care makes all the difference and is something very rare to find. Thank you, Cindy. I recommend her 100%!
