From Wall Street to the Stars

If you had told me back in 2013 that I would leave my finance career to dedicate my life to astrology…I would’ve probably been intrigued by the boldness of that thought but highly suspect of its plausibility. And yet, in 2022, after having just been promoted to Vice President, I resigned to do just that.

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

It was hard to explain why I felt so called to pursue a completely different existence (it was my Saturn Return—for the Astro-literate folks in the room). 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), this life choice 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 environment that left me hollow and a shell of myself. 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, 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, immersing myself in this sacred language of the cosmos through intense self-study, mentorship (I am fortunate to count the AstroTwins—Tali & Ophi Edut—and Puja Robinson as personal mentors), and a few years at the Forrest Center of Evolutionary Astrology. As I continued to immerse myself in astrology, I became acquainted with the words and symbols that unearthed meaning behind my life choices, circumstances, and existence. Through the words of astrology, I found purpose.

So, what is my purpose?

I’m a cosmic storyteller here to help you craft and find meaning in the story of your life, offering reframes as needed but always here to witness your authentic soul’s truth.

I act as a mirror and a messenger, reflecting what you might’ve felt but perhaps are hesitant to vocalize or admit to yourself. 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 moonlight as a pop culture pundit (@thepopastrologist), analyzing celebrity culture, headline news, and Bravo TV shows through my astrological lens. I believe that pop culture is a rich tool that can be used to further our astrological understanding and education while serving as a medium that can bridge divides in this modern landscape.

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