Startelling was envisioned when I reached my 33rd birthday. It has been intentionally created to be an astro-artelier space to honor my over 15 years of multiple creative experiences and blend my thoughts on Astrology, Art, History, Philosophy, and Cosmology. I even coined the creative astrologer role to describe my mission in the astrology field.

Besides having good work experiences throughout the years, I've never found my ~happy place~ (the downside of having the Moon in the 10th house of career). Moreover, writing has always been my favorite form of expression (Mercury in the 5th house), so I find it difficult for mediums to accommodate my eccentric ideas. It was becoming clear that I needed to create my own space. Lastly, since I immigrated to the United States, I missed having more power to manage my career. After years of wandering & wondering what to do, I've found my style: books-paper is my canvas, and astrology is my muse.

Anyway, I believe my most creative adulthood adventure to date is creating Startelling in a foreign language and country. But I'm not afraid; let the journey begin!

From the Startelling name to the titles of my readings, I've paid homage to literature. Although I had this crush on fashion in the first place, which thankfully made me enjoy art history and any theoretical knowledge, literature has been my major source of inspiration.

I find it curious, for example, that whether we read a book or a birth chart, we use the same verb. So, I'm the kind who pays attention and makes distinctive connections. That's why Star Telling (i.e., storytelling) was a huge asset; I tell Stories from the Stars.

Still, my conception of a "work of art" has a different aspiration from its theory. Astrology, the art of creation, yes, elevates to a sphere of the Sublime & Mystery. Yet, I care about the realistic level (Saturn in Capricorn), which we can only experience by living on Earth.

The way I deliver my art is imaginative, intellectual, realistic, and original. In my case, originality has less to do with being "innovative" and more with the meaning of the word "origin",“something that creates, causes, or gives rise to another." It starts in the past and then moves to the present-future.

In the end, Astrology & Art help us investigate and navigate life as well as ignite our imagination. Startelling is the bridge between them.

PS: You will see I often use the words "art" and "creation." This is because both my Venus and Startelling's Venus (the planet that talks about arts, aesthetics, and beauty) are in Aries, the first zodiac sign associated with the spring season and, therefore, the act of creation, when the flowers bloom. Aries gives Venus debility, but this placement can be read as a "change a paradigm." So I'm here for it! By knowing that, I could refine my intentions, and that's the kind of specificity I'll bring into my readings.
