What is Hellenistic Astrology?
Hellenistic Astrology is the first astrological tradition where planets, signs, houses, and aspects are all employed in the interpretation of star charts, thus serving as the foundation for all Western astrology. This tradition was active from the 1st century BCE until the 7th century CE and has been revived by contemporary astrologers in the last 30 years. It is called “Hellenistic” because it is primarily in the Greek language and emerged from a fusion of Greek, Egyptian, and Babylonian intellectual traditions, made possible by the creation of a common Greek-speaking world through the conquests of Alexander the Great. It is distinct from earlier astrological traditions, such as the Babylonian and Egyptian, as well as later ones, such as the Persian, Medieval, and modern psychological traditions.
What is Event Astrology?
Event astrology is the practice of interpreting a chart based on the planetary positions at the time and place of an event or action. This chart—called an event chart (or electional/inceptional chart)—serves as a symbol of what occurs in that moment.
A well-timed event aligns with the natural flow of time, while an ill-timed one may face unnecessary resistance. Event astrology helps us understand:
- Hidden influences, including unconscious motivations we may not be aware of.
- Who initiates the event and what forces are supporting or resisting it.
- The full development of the event, including its beginning, middle, and end.

Who am I?
Fundamental elements of the conceptual framework of astrology came from Greek philosophers like Plato, Aristotle, and Pythagoras. I am a student of Hellenistic astrology and a specialist in the most systematic commentator of Plato, named Proclus (412-485 CE), who also extensively engaged with astrology. Therefore, I study not only how to make astrological predictions but also why: what is the worldview and ethics that underpin Hellenistic astrology? How do they relate to current philosophical inquiries? How can this be translated into a comprehensible vocabulary today?
I am the author of several articles and a book on Proclus’ philosophy of time, “Time’s Causal Power: The Natural Theology of Time in Proclus” (Brill, Leiden, 2021), where I explained his arguments in favor of the causal power of time and that things happen because it is their time to happen. I have also taught courses on his philosophy of time and the philosophy of astrology in antiquity. Additionally, I hold a certificate of completion from Chris Brennan’s course on Hellenistic astrology.
What do I offer?
⚡ Limited-Time Offer: My services are currently discounted as I begin offering consultations in event astrology. Prices may increase soon, so take advantage of this special rate while it lasts!
1. Picking a Symbolic Time (20$ USD/ R$ 100)
Some moments are better than others for beginning something new. Whether you’re scheduling a wedding, opening a business, launching a project, or signing a contract, I will help you find the skies that best match what you want to do. This lets you start off your venture in auspicious circumstances and in possession of a symbol of the event, the event-chart. This symbol can help you reflect on your action and can be used for understanding the development of what you begin at this time.
2. Studying the Chart of an Event (20$ USD/ R$ 100)
Every event has a chart, just like a person does. Understanding the astrological imprint of a moment can offer insight into its deeper meaning. The event-chart is a symbol of that event and what is born at that time and can be used as aid for reflection on the matter at hand. This service comes in two forms:
- Your Own Life Events: Analyze a past moment—whether joyful, confusing, or life-changing—to better understand its role in your story.
- Historical Events: If there is a historical event that is important to you and for which there is an exact time and place, I can study its astrological chart and we can discuss how the symbolism of the chart matches the event and its development.
3. Picking a Symbolic Deed (20$ USD/ R$ 100)
Just as we can look for the best time for a given action, we can also figure out what would be a fitting action for a given time. If you have some free time coming up or are looking to align your life more with the universe, I can help you determine the best way to engage with the forces of time —whether for travel, creative work, deep study, or new beginnings. That way you can act in synchrony with the heavens and the earth. This service can help with:
- Trip & Travel Planning: Find the right type of experience for an upcoming vacation.
- Symbolic Alignment of Actions: Choose an activity that resonates with the astrological themes of the moment.
- Best Creative Activity for a Period of Time: Stumped on what to create or research during a period of time? Let the heavens inspire you.
