The Mirror of Sienna

Welcome to my website. I’m an astrologer and Tarot reader, and this is where I share some of my readings and thoughts.
I work with medieval astrological techniques for delineation and prediction. My main areas are natal, horary and astrological magic.
I’m also interested in metaphysics, philosophy, and theology.
