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: 11 November – 17 November 2024
The Saturnian themes dominate this month with Saturn moving Direct (16 Nov), making a statement about structure, responsibility and discipline in context of the long term sustainability of your life. Expect to feel the need to bunker down and get to work, foregoing fun and frivolity. Occupy yourself with the much needed tasks to establish some solid foundations for your future self. Sometimes, this strong Saturn energy could look like obstacles, limitations, sadness and despondency. Reframe the lower vibrational feeling of the Saturn impact by engaging a stoic attitude and looking ahead to future rewards that could be achieved if you started the hard work now.
