From Wall Street to the Stars

If you had told me back in 2013 that, as an eager and ambitious graduate of Wellesley College with a B.A. in Economics and Middle Eastern Studies, I would eventually leave my finance career to dedicate my life to astrology…I would’ve been intrigued by the boldness of that thought, but highly suspect of its plausibility. And yet, in 2022, after I was promoted to Vice President of Institutional Sales/Consultant Relations, I resigned to do just that.

Some told me I was crazy. Many were supportive. But everyone, understandably, had questions.

It was hard to explain why I felt so called to pursue a completely different existence (it was my Saturn Return, for those familiar). At that time, I didn’t know what I was looking for, but the idea of endless promotion cycles leading me down a path of conventionality was NOT it. As the daughter of immigrants (Malaysian & Pakistani), choosing differently felt far out of the purview of possibility. And yet, I took that leap of faith and heeded the universe’s call.

When the world shut down and humanity was forced to look inward in 2020, I had my natal chart read for the first time after experiencing a toxic workplace event that left me hollow, a victim of my internalized impostor syndrome. That moment changed my life (not a hyperbole). I felt like my soul had been re-awakened, dormant in plain sight but now ready to be embodied.

I learned I was an intuitive soul with an adventurous and independent spirit. I understood why I had to navigate grief early on as part of my karmic path here in this lifetime. I recognized there was meaning to my life—that I had more power and creative agency than I gave myself credit for and that my emotional intensity was to be channeled, not feared.

And so, I began my journey from that point on, routinely immersing myself in this sacred language of the cosmos through intense self-study, formal education (I have much gratitude for the Forrest Center of Evolutionary Astrology, Uranian Astrologer Matt, and Mark Jones), and mentorship (Puja Robinson, you know how much you mean to me).

Through the words of astrology, I found my purpose: I am an intuitive storyteller who’s here to help you craft and find meaning in your lived experience.

I act as a mirror and a messenger, reflecting what you might’ve felt but perhaps hesitant to vocalize or admit to yourself. I offer reframes as needed, but first and foremost, I’m always here to be a witness to your authentic soul’s truth. As an evolutionary astrologer, I believe in each individual’s highest potential and the power of free will to co-create a more aligned reality with our karmic blueprint.

When I’m not busy analyzing my clients’ soul plans or forecasting cosmic weather through my weekly newsletter, I spend a good portion of my time moonlighting as a pop culture pundit. As The Pop Astrologist, I analyze celebrity culture and the zeitgeist, headline news, and reality TV (through an astrological lens, naturally ✨). I believe that pop culture is a rich tool with tremendous potential to further our astrological understanding and education, so why not have some fun with it?

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about me. I’m excited to get to know you better through our conversations ❤️
