I was formerly an undergraduate and postgraduate at the London School of Economics, awarded a scholarship from the Social Science Research Council. I subsequently undertook independent research into classical, Arabic and mediaeval astrological knowledge/practice, whilst pursuing a career as a freelance astrological consultant/columnist for UK/European publications, such as the Sunday Mirror, Woman’s Own and Cosmopolitan. I received the Diploma from the Faculty of Astrological Studies in 1988 and the Qualifying Horary Practitioner in 1990. I was later appointed QHP Head Tutor, teaching and mentoring students world-wide. Olivia Barclay bequeathed the QHP to me in 2001.  An acknowledged expert in the judgement of interrogations (horary), I was awarded a grant from the Urania Trust for writing Horary Astrology Re-Examined: The Possibility or Impossibility of the Matter Propounded, published in 2009.  A further grant was awarded in 2014 for studying an MA in History at Exeter University, where I graduated with distinction in 2016. I am currently a first year PhD student in receipt of a doctoral studentship from the Wellcome Trust, supervised by Professor Jonathan Barry and Dr Peter Elmer. My thesis is entitled: ‘Astrology is higher and nobler than medicine and every physician must be an astrologer’:  Practitioners, Practices and the ‘Prognostical part of Physick’ c. 1580-1700.

I was born in Greece, in Thessaloniki, where I still live and work. I have a background in Law and French, as well as psychological and traditional astrology. Psychological astrology seemed very glamorous in the beginning, particularly with regard to the outer planets, the ego, the collective and archetypes. However, I soon realized that this was not psychological astrology but astrological psychology, with the emphasis, that is, on psychology. Fortunately, I discovered a horary astrology book, which showed that the connection between the stars and life on earth is not only abstract, but entirely concrete. But I realized once more that I was not studying the real traditional astrology, but variations of the traditional theory with personal theories invented by variousauthors. Thankfully, the QHP came to the rescue! After I received the Diploma, I started my professional practice here in Greece. Sometime later, Barbara Dunn appointed me QHP Head Tutor, with extra responsibility for all Greek-speaking students in Greece and in Cyprus. I have worked for two Greek astrological magazines: Jupiter and Astra & Orama and I occasionally post articles on the QHP Hellas facebook page or my blog: https://astrologyandlife.blogspot.gr/

I currently provide tuition for the new QHP module on Horary & Nativities, including Progressions and Directions. 

Published work: My first book entitled Horary Astrology, the Practical Way to learn your Fate (Wessex Astrologer, 2017) contains judgements for more than 50 valid horary charts destined for students and professionals of the art.
