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.
