How did you get interested in Astrology ?
I did not know that I had the ability to do astrology . I thought that this science is not for me . An accidental situation presented itself to me and I began to study astrology . Still , I did not know that I would actually become an astrologer . I discovered the world of astrology by accident and never thought that I would become really involved with such an esoteric subject .
In 1995 I was approached by my friend with a request to support him in his training . He wanted to study astrology , but his natural modesty prevented him from coming to an unfamiliar group ( his Sun is in the Cancer ). He asked me to appear with him in class . We agreed to when to start classes , but my friend did not come ... He was frightened and did not come . He persuaded me to go again , saying that the next time he will really come . The next lessons he again did not come . On the third and fourth lessons , as you might imagine , he did not appear ... Well , by then I had taken a great interest in the study of astrology , that he himself had wanted to learn .
My professional practice as an astrologer began in 1997 when I registered as an entrepreneur and began to give private consultations on astrology . Later I worked in the Center Astrological Consulting ’ s , in the Center for Alternative Medicine “ Aster +” and a number of other projects associated with the astrological counseling . This creative path allowed me to gain experience in written and oral consultation , learn the nuances of expressing myself in remote consultations . My astrological practice now operates in four Russian cities : Moscow , Sochi , Omsk and Izhevsk . Since my student years , and to this day , I am take an active part in the life of the astrological community . I do organizing of learning , master classes , meetings and conferences .
I am interested not only in astrology , I examine the esoteric influence of sound to a person ’ s life , I study the transcendental influence of symbols , and I work with the ancient practices of prophecies . Since 1998 , I began practicing of integral yoga , taking in the full scope of meditation techniques of expanded knowledge and uncover forms of creativity .
