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: 25 November – 1 December 2024
It’s a compact week with only three notable transits occurring. The main story for this week is the Mercury Retrograde in Sagittarius (26 Nov) which will be moving in this backward illusion for the next 20 days. If you’ve found it difficult to focus your attention lately, it might have had something to do with Mercury moving over the degrees in which it will now return to. Sagittarius is not a friendly place for Mercury, hence this Mercury Retrograde period might cause some obvious issues to do with the mind, your communication, travels, transactions and details. Be careful of silly mistakes or saying things that you might regret later. A sluggish, distracted mind could be cause for many unfinished things around you. Slowing down physically and mentally is always a good way to protect yourself from potential harm caused by Mercury Retrograde. It’s a good time to take a mental break from the everyday tasks. Also try to focus on finishing past projects and tying up loose ends rather than to start anything new.
