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 !
