The Mirror of Sienna
I am an astrologer and Tarot reader. In astrology, I work with medieval techniques for delineation and prediction. My main areas are natal and horary.
In Tarot, I have my own cardinal method for readings, based on the zodiacal cross and the Egyptian astrological decans.
My spiritual philosophy is Hermetic, Neoplatonic, Stoic and Johannine-Christian.
