Western Tropical Astrology Basics Free Course

Meet Ang, your western tropical locational astrologer ✳

Hi, I’m Ang!

I've been studying Western tropical astrology for over a decade since 2012. I also have a special interest in how where you live shapes your story. :)

I’m a Scorpio Sun at 16° in the 5th house, with a Moon in Aquarius at 28° in the 8th house (the ruler of my chart), guided by my Cancer Rising at 29°.

Beyond astrology, I’m deeply passionate about herbalism, of course travel and movement, especially mat and reformer Pilates. I love connecting mind, body, and spirit, whether it’s through understanding the patterns of the planets or nurturing the body with intentional movement and natural remedies! (yes, I am a 6th house dominant along with being an 8th houser).

I love mixing curiosity, creativity, and self-care into everyday life as it’s all about exploring what makes us feel alive.
