Hello,

I’m a Professional Astrologer who specializes in Hellenistic and Medieval Islamicate Astrology which are branches of Afro-Asiatic Astrology. I am also a Professional Card reader and Hoodoo Practitioner (limited consultations at the moment). My spiritual rememberance began over a decade ago and took many twists, turns, and “odd” things happening throughout my life that I was able to verify through the aforementioned practices. These practices have been very near and dear to me throughout life’s seasons. The ability to see material phenomena reflected in an immaterial based medium has been such a treat for me as both a lover of logic and the unseen. Observing the results in my life has been one thing but having accurate readings for other people and actually being able to help others has been so joyous for me.

As a Traditional Astrologer I use Whole Sign Houses with Alcabitius or whichever Quadrant house system that I need for the technique I am using. Primarily, Whole Sign Houses is my base. I do not debate about other Afro-Asiatic/Traditional forms of Astrology, if people knew the history of Ancient/Afro-Asiatic Astrology they wouldn’t either. Please do not ask me about why I don’t “use” “Vedic,” which is really Indic or why I don’t use “Sidereal.” Both questions are so decontextualized that the questions themselves do not make sense. Perhaps, i’ll do a video on it or refer people to other Traditional Astrologers who already have. In addition to all of that, I typically use Astrology as a method of seeing what has happened and what will happen, not pseudo-psychoanalysis or the other western/modern/new age matters. I don’t use asteroids, pluto, neptune, uranus etc. I do discern character traits etc through Traditional Astrology but as you will learn that wasn’t really the primary focus of Afro-Asiatic Astrology, it was much more holistic and capable of understanding a vast amount of things about everyone in your life, including you.

According to Ancient Egyptian Astrologer Rhetorius and Medieval Astrologer Sahl ibn Bishra, a planet within 1 degree of the sun is considered to be “in the heart” of the sun and this was considered to be a strengthening position. Later in the Medieval Islamicate Tradition this was called Kasmimi or the Cazimi. I was born during a Mercury hour and my natal Mercury is cazimi my sun, along with a couple of other interesting mercurial things going on in my natal chart. I share the Mercury Kasmimi with at least two other people in my family, along with other ancestral, mercurial, divination, and unseen based placements.

I have a long on and off again history with Astrology. I became interested in Astrology around early secondary school but I was only privy to sun sign astrology at that point. In secondary school I was an extensive lover of History, Geography, Languages, Culture, and Politics. Despite the very valid critiques about how the education system fails to teach these subjects, there I was still deeply curious about the “past.” So, when I went to college for something humanities based (of course!!!) I became more interested in the Ancient World, Astrology, and African Traditional Religions. Throughout university and post-grad my love for history, for “humanity,” evolved and I became even more contextual in my analysis of structures and overall life than I had already been. This would in part become the precursor to my current spiritual (including Astrological) practices. Concurrently, at quite a young age I went through a more highly skeptical period where I doubted everything in life. I felt that I needed more proof, I guess this is what people now call “Deconstruction.” This period actually lasted for some time and while I am still highly skeptical of pretty much everything, I’ve been able to utilize this skepticism in ways I never imagined.

Since then, Astrology has proven itself to me or maybe I re-opened my eyes to it. Throughout all kinds of awe inspiring events I came back to Astrology seeking answers but something about what I saw on social media was not fulfilling for me. My aforementioned skepticism sensed some sort of deficiency, fragmentation, or emptiness in what was being spread to multitudes of people as Astrology, a “modern” (read: colonial) Astrology. So, I was intrigued with pop/modern astrology for about less than a month before my ancestors and my highly inquisitive nature put me on to Hellenistic Astrology. Shortly after, I got into Medieval Astrology and then Medieval Islamicate Astrology found me. Everything clicked. I was consumed, drunk off of knowledge. I read pretty much every Traditional Astrology book I could get my hands on (& i still go back to them). I also got an amazing teacher who I will likely always recommend. I watched, listened to and took notes on hours and hours of lectures. I practiced to see if I achieved the same delineations as seasoned Astrologers I respected and compared my delineations and predictions to real world events with success.

Thanks to my extensive training in reading historical and contemporary documents comprised of Latin and old English I was able to connect with the dense Traditional Astrological material much easier than I probably would have been if I began earlier, before my life’s detour into said training. Divine timing, eh? Today, I continuously study and question, like I have been my entire life about everything I involve myself with. My studies are more intensely focused on Astrology and other spiritual matters which unironically do fully connect to my collegiate and post-grad studies; there’s a direct line and Astrological correspondences, IYKYK. To be great at something you must continue to polish your craft, virtually every profession continues education alongside “practice.” It has been something that has kept me warm, me, my books, my documents, my charts, and my lectures LOL. Seriously, I love what I do and I have never felt this way about anything else profession wise. Interest wise, it’s a continuation of what i’ve loved since I was a child: history, culture, geography, analysis, and mysteries. It makes sense why coming back to Astrology and doing so with depth has been so fulfilling for me; it combines all of the things that i’ve loved since I was a child. So, in a way, Astrology brought me back to me.

Conjure or root-working are words that reflect some of the spiritual practices of African Americans in the U.S. South, I won’t be elaborating much further but I will discuss a little bit of something that relates to it. A connection to the Ancestors which is simultaneously a connection to the land is so crucial in having an embodied experience of personhood. I am not saying it will make others recognize you as a person but it is my belief that you will not recognize you as a person without this connection. Natal Alienation goes hand in hand with loss of connection to the Ancestors, connection to the land. My Ancestors are directly responsible for the journey that I am on today and I honor them through the work that I do while paying it forward to those who come after me. May we all continue to be so privileged to do so.

Last but not least, I will repeat this in multiple locations on my website. I do not use A.I. in any of my readings or on this website. I am against the use of A.I. in general but specifically for everything that I have discussed on this website. Life is divine, no copy, no matter how convincing can become divine. It then follows that imitations of life cannot perform divination.

If you read all of this thank you, I am quite long winded and I could type forever. I’m multi-lingual so sometimes my grammar slips these days but either way language is for communicating. I assume most will understand me and if not I’m available to answer questions at my email cazimiconjure@pm.me and on the other platforms you can find me on. Much love!
