Hey!
My name is Manuel! I’m an astrologer and tarot reader based in Los Angeles, Ca.
Astrology is the study of cycles, fate, and fortune through planetary alignments. People have been looking to the heavens for spiritual guidance as early as the third millennium BCE (D.George). My aim as an astrologer is to help provide you with a detailed understanding of your birth chart in a comprehensive and modern fashion.
About my practice:
I take a traditional approach in my practice and source my knowledge from credible modern astrologers as well as wisdom passed down by ancient astrologers for generations. I use whole sign houses and traditional rulerships.
What I do:
I specialize in horoscopic astrology which utilizes the ascendant and the twelve houses to illustrate a rich synthesis of your birth chart. You can use this knowledge to learn about the stars on the day you were born and their meaning. Using a variety of ancient systems such as decans, bounds, and triplicities we can gain insight into a variety of subjects.
I do extensive research on your birth chart with a variety of examples to provide an immersive reading.
My main goal is to inspire growth and motivation through the art of astrology as it has done for me personally !
My background:
My astrological practice borrows techniques cultivated in the Hellenistic era viewed through modern lens.I have relied on the research of a variety of credible authors. Publishings from Chris Brennan, Demetra George, and Chani Nicholas have been vital keystones throughout my studies to accurately read and disseminate a birth chart and provide an authentic reading.
Alongside my studies, I have been providing horoscopes for friends, family, and colleagues; exercising and testing the techniques I have learned overtime.
Every person I have sat with has taught me something unique that I continue to cherish with every reading. I aim to provide a safe space where you are heard, accepted, and celebrated.
Apart from my astrological practice I have a BA in Audio Engineering and I am an active visual artist

About the practice
Ancient astrology is a form of divination that encompasses a variety of traditions used to describe styles of astrology such as Babylonian, Hellenistic, Arabic, medieval, and renaissance styles of astrology (D. George 2019)
It was mainly used to describe the general conditions of the surrounding environment, nation, and kings. Today people use astrology for a variety of purposes such as self-discovery and self awareness. Natal Astrology investigates the positions of planets in zodiacal signs at the moment of the person’s birth. The planets are often described as the actors, the signs are the costumes of the role, and the houses are the areas in which scenes take place.
The birth chart can help us discover our own unique personal identity that can be a helpful tool for navigating our life direction. Coincided with planetary transits, we can peak into potential essences on certain days through planetary signatures.
The Sun
the purpose, intellect, what we centralize our lives around, and identity.

The Ascendant
