ABOUT THE COSMOST

I practice astrology the same way I endeavor to live: with a decolonized mindset, through a liberatory lens, and from an abolitionist point of view.
Being a self-proclaimed writer, self-diagnosed autistic, and self-employed anti-capitalist who clocks in at a shaky 5’5”, I’m short on physical height and professional credentials. But spending a lifetime as a short king with an aptitude for pattern recognition and a knack for philosophical writing means I’ve spent a lifetime developing the skills required of every competent Astrologer: articulating answers to big questions, paying attention to patterns, and of course, looking up.
Of the many things I hope to be reflected in my readings, my identities as a black, biracial, queer, trans-masc nonbinary, anti-zionist, pro-Palestinian communist routinely inform the way I contextualize my clients’ experiences and interpret their birth charts.

Much like the stars that it was designed to help us comprehend, astrology is a study that is at once ancient, current, and futuristic. With a history dating back to well over 2,000 years ago, and a diverse lineage of variations spanning cultures the world over, there are a multitude of astrological traditions available to study and practice.
Before and perhaps more than anything else, I’m a student; so my passing interest in astrology inevitably grew to a persistent curiosity in 2021, and by 2022 transitioned into full-on, dedicated study. Being largely self-taught for the past 3 years, I’ve had substantive exposure to the teachings and techniques of both traditional and modern astrology, however my studies have primarily been in Hellenistic astrology.
I owe much of my knowledge to the invaluable wisdom of astrologers like Chani Nicholas, Chris Brennan, Demetra George, Robert Hand, and Diana Rose Harper.

I’m a Hellenistic Astrologer, which means traditional Hellenistic astrology is at the foundation of my practice and I use the Whole Sign House system, as well as the tropical zodiac, in all of my consultation work. I do, however, use a blend of interpretive principles pulled from both traditional and modern astrology when analyzing natal charts and transits.
While my professional wheelhouse includes mundane and electional astrology, my primary expertise is in natal chart consultations, predictive timing techniques, and synastry readings.
