Astrological Guidance
by João Reis
Through a modern application of this ancient tradition, I utilize Astrology as a tool to bring you closer to your essence, creating space for acceptance and understanding of your own journey.
Born and raised on the Atlantic coast of Portugal, I have always been curious about the mystery of existence. ‘Who am I?’, ‘Why am I here?’, or ‘Where am I going?’ are questions that started disquieting me from an early age, and I always felt that there’s more than what we can intellectually grasp. I have been in contact with Astrology since a young age, but it was only when I received my first reading that I felt I had hit the jackpot. I got a deep sense of comfort: I felt seen and understood, and realised there was nothing wrong about feeling the way I felt, or being the way I was. Since that day, when I experienced firsthand the wonders of Astrology, I am sure of two things: Astrology works, and I want to learn it.
ABOUT ME
The Astrology I practise is a modern approach to this ancient wisdom, blending elements of traditional Astrology with other more modern and psychologically-based approaches, such as Evolutionary and Humanistic Astrology. This means practising Astrology with a person-centred approach rather than an event-centred one, giving as much importance to one’s free will as to the obstacles one may find on the way. I'm not as interested in exploring the concepts of ‘fate’ or ‘destiny’ as I am in understanding human potential. I see Astrology as a tool to shed light on ourselves, a journey towards self-knowledge that helps materialise the best version of ourselves.
