ed to give meaning to my childhood mystical encounters. I graduated in Fine Arts at the University of Pretoria, majoring in History of Art and Graphic Design. After discovering GC Jung’ s works on the occult and religion, I became his lifelong‘ book student.’ While working as a graphic designer, my drive to want to understand( Aquarius Jupiter and Capricorn Saturn in the 9th), led me to teach myself the art of astrological chart interpretation.
I eventually formally studied at the Astrological Institute of Research and Study, which was run by my gifted teacher who sadly passed away, leaving behind a legacy of seeking the truth about the developing soul in this incarnation. I also learned Tarot, which I eventually taught, studied Feng Shui, Mysticism and the link between Astrology and Kaballah, along with the integration of past lives and dreams.
With a strong spiritual focus on the souls’ unfolding in this incarnation, I lead clients in my consultations to have the confidence of being in control of their lives and make informed choices, in order to be captains of their own lives.

The Astrology Community in South Africa( Johannesburg)
It is time that Astrology in South Africa reached out towards one another and that the mutual love of this beautiful knowledge brings the diverse practices together. We have many astrologers, teachers and practices in our major cities. Again, open communication and a sense of wholeness can bridge and bring together. With spiritual Piscean Neptune in attendance to dissolve boundaries, together with the transformative power of Pluto in Capricorn to build strong structures, cohesiveness can be forged. The impatient Aries of Uranus is urging the higher mind of seekers of the Cosmos to do it now! Our amazing country is rich with cultural and ancestral knowledge. It is here, on this ancient human birthing soil, that Homo sapiens first became curious to explore. This search for another reality started a journey that now encompasses our entire global village.
But our minds have since soared to the stars and beyond to answer the question: what did we come here to do in the first place? Thank you Maurice for bringing OPA to the four corners of our existence!
