Astrology educator and consultant inspired by western and eastern traditions


Shu Yap
Astrologer, Writer & Teacher with a passion for Hellenistic, Persian and Arabic traditions
Welcome! I’m so happy you’re here.
I offer astrology consultations for individuals and businesses through birth chart analysis, forecasting, elections and horary services. I’m a teacher and speaker on astrological topics and available for media interviews, teaching engagements, course design and student mentoring. As a faculty member of Kepler College, a leading astrological institution, I offer regular courses on intermediate level astrology as part of their curriculum. The best way to get a feel for my style is to subscribe to my monthly Interpsycle Observator, where you’ll hear practical and philosophical interpretations of the upcoming week’s transits.
Here’s a little bit more about me…
I’ve been a dedicated student of western astrology for nearly 25 years and have trained at the Melbourne School of Astrology (Foundational Modern Psychological) and School of Traditional Astrology (Horary & Medical Astrology). I’m inspired by all the cosmological perspectives around the world, although much of my practice has been focused on the Western Hermetic philosophy, mainly due to geographical circumstances.
I find continual fulfilment in incorporating practices from my Daoist roots and the Vedic philosophy too, especially for astrological remediations. My life as a grower, regenerative land custodian, mother of three and off-grid homesteader sees my astrological practice as a lifestyle, not just a livelihood.
I hope to meet you one day, either in my consultation space, my classrooms, a workshop, webinar or podcast interview!

Interpsycle Observator – Weekly Planetary News

Interpsycle Observator: 9 December – 15 December 2024
One encounter that you might experience with the Mars Retrograde story is that of relationships and social values, which might be felt strongly this week as the planet of relationships Venus opposes Mars (12 Dec). If last week’s Mars Retrograde had you commit to any significant stance or commitments, especially if it had something to do with asserting your viewpoint or ‘individuating’, then this week might see the impacts of your decision on areas like your interpersonal relationships, self esteem, social values and/or finances. In other words, the ‘fair weather’ life that Venus often brings is being hit by the divisive Mars energy, resulting in ill-tempered moods, acrimony and a little more tension in the air.
