Astrology educator and consultant inspired by western and eastern traditions

Shu Yap Interpsycle Astrology

Hello. I’m Shu – an Astrologer, Writer and Teacher with a passion for traditional techniques from the Hellenistic, Persian and Arabic periods.

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.

If you’ve landed here for the first time, here’s how you can connect with my work. I’d love to hear from you.

Interpsycle Observator: Libra Eclipse – 2 October 2024

Time for our next eclipse – a Solar New Moon Eclipse in Libra which will happen over the evening of 2 October to the morning of 3 October. This eclipse conjoins with Ketu, or the South Node, which means that purification, spiritual liberation and internal cultivation will be of great importance. New Moon energy is extremely inwards as well, so the best medicine for this eclipse will be to cut off from the external world, purify yourself, cleanse your environment and focus on your purpose. This is a great time to do ritual fasting and space clearing.

What My Clients Say

Luzie - Astrologer

My consultation with Shu was incredible, to say the least. I am also a professional astrologer and have admired Shu’s work for years. She is a beacon of knowledge, and the respect she has earned from her peers within the astrological community is certainly well deserved.  Our session together allowed me to view my natal chart through a new lens. She interpreted some of my more difficult placements compassionately and integrated planetary cycles into her delineations in a unique and profound way. I could not recommend Shu more highly as an astrologer”.

Jan M - Finance

I found Shu to be incredibly knowledgeable and have been having yearly readings with her ever since. Shu’s readings are very insightful and accurate. She is very educated on astrology and not “woo-woo” like some other astrologers can be. My annual readings with Shu greatly help me navigate my personal and business decisions and I highly recommend having someone like Shu in your life!

Ali - Masseuse

Shu is an incredible astrologer, connected to the deep wisdom of astrological observations. I have been reading her publication “Interpsycle Observatory” for years now and always find her take on the current astrology extremely insightful and full of practical suggestions. I would highly recommend Shu for astrological readings, and would suggest to subscribe to her email list for regular astrological downloads.

Claire - Marketing

I will continue to integrate and take benefit from the insights Shu provided for many weeks and months. Shu validated my feelings and provided me with profound insights into several themes at play in my life.

Ali - Astrologer

I’ve consulted with many Astrologers in the past 4o years and Shu is in my top 3 all time favourites. Always a delight to engage in deep and meaningful conversation & analysis with Shu.

Jade - Voice Talent

I enjoyed Shu’s compassion and ability to deliver sound advice. I also enjoyed how Shu pointed to significant times in my life based on transits. Everything was validating/affirming of my life experiences. Shu has a deep understanding of numerous astrology methods! Shu is incredibly knowledgeable and uses methods I haven’t seen other astrologers use (or explain) in consultations.

Lilly - Politics

I always love hearing from the perspective of Australian-Asian women. I have deep admiration for Shu being so knowledgeable in astrology. I had listened to her breakdown (maybe the Venus cycle in a podcast-video) and thought she had communicated so beautifully and clearly.

Megan - Finance

The process that has unfolded since my session has been deep. Deep amounts of processing after my consult simply by Shu’s storytelling of my chart.

Tanya - Kinesiologist

My Chart Reading with Shu was ABSOLUTELY incredible!!  I felt a real sense of clarity and relief, as I felt like I FINALLY could understand things about myself. I felt like I learnt more about myself in my reading with Shu than what I had over my whole life. There were things that Shu told me that I had never mentioned to anyone before. Shu took the time to also go through and explore different areas of my life that I had questions about which led to gaining useful tools. Shu’s insight and skills were evident throughout the entire reading as she answered questions and helped me understand my chart. I have definitely felt more confident and prepared for this next chapter of my life. I will be making this a regular thing as the information in these readings are NEXT LEVEL.

Kirsty - Yoga Instructor

Having my chart read with Shu was an amazing and insightful experience. It’s obvious Shu has a huge amount of expertise in Astrology. She communicates so beautifully and held a safe and comfortable space for me to really gain a deeper understanding of myself and my world.

Lorraine - Teacher

I have been in 2 workshops led by Shu. She is knowledgeable, informed and passionate about astrology, leading me to want to learn more about astrology & how it can be used positively in your life. The communication from Interpsycle Astrology is fantastic.

Niki - Web consultant

What a rollercoaster! I got a natal chart consultation from Shu and it is next level compared to a typical horoscope or sun sign interpretation. This is my second time with Shu. I sent my questions and notes to Shu ahead of time and she delivered a birth chart reading focussing on my career and current year cycle. I found it really beneficial as she told me exactly how things were – no sugar coating – and I walked away with a strong sense of direction and clarity on why things were the way they were for me. With quality, tailored insight you would be hard-pressed to get this from free astrology sites. I highly recommend Shu and to this day I am extremely grateful I found her!

Sandra S - Lawyer

I had my first ever astrology reading with Shu and it was super interesting and fascinating to learn more about astrology, and how it all correlates to our lives. Shu was great at explaining the chart and points out patterns that I could resonate with, as well as giving me advice on how to move forward in certain situations to make things easier for me. I would highly recommend Shu for an astrology reading!

Kirra - Business Owner

I was referred to Shu by a friend who is an astrologer. I didn’t really know how to ask the questions of what it was I was trying to find, however I felt I recieved so much information and inspiration in such a short amount of time. I found Shu to be intuitive, warm, insightful, understanding, and very in tune with the cosmic forces. I would recommend her to anyone that maybe looking for advice on a particular question or just life guidance. You won’t regret it!! After our session I felt so full of wisdom and life force and am very grateful I reached out. I will continue to check in with her with future readings.

Johannah - Chinese Doctor

I really enjoyed my astrology reading with Shu. She was incredibly thorough and informative. Shu is so knowledgeable, easy to talk to and helpful with her suggestions about how to approach the year ahead.

Kerrie - Entrepreneur

Shu has been my personal astrologer for 15 years. Through her extensive knowledge of astrology she assists me with the ability to overcome challenges, obstacles and changes in a grounded, clear and confident manner. Shu has an incredible ability to translate the skies into the appropriate words to enable anyone to understand what is happening energetically for them at this time. Through many years of research and study Shu offers a professional, insightful, passionate, and informative astrological reading. I highly recommend Shu to anyone needing some direction or for those who wish to dive deeper within their own psyche.

Genevieve - Nurse

I studied a short course with her and have come out the other side feeling very supported and amazed by the planets. Shu is a lovely and knowledgeable individual, able to speak to you on many different levels and allow for you to understand complex concepts in a relatable way.

Sandy - Designer

I did not expect my first reading to reveal so much about my life situation, nor expect to be offered great insights and valuable guidance through the planets and it’s connection with my feelings. Shu’s years of dedication and experience to the craft is evident in her deep understanding of the stars. She communicates honestly, clearly and is sensitive and practical in her approach. I would highly recommend getting a reading with her.
