The Mirror of Sienna

My name is Sienna and 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 a cardinal method for readings, based on the zodiacal cross and the Egyptian decans.
I am also profoundly interested in metaphysics, philosophy and theology, including Neoplatonism, Stoicism and Johannine-Christianism.
