ABOUT EMMA GARDINER
From a lifetime of curiosity in astronomy, I first began a serious study of astrology in 2020, the year of the Great Conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn in Aquarius. As the famous 17th century astrologer, William Lilly once wrote "I was strangely affected to Astrology, and desirous to Study it, only to see if there were any verity in it”, my own desire to begin studying this art included a similar sentiment! It warms my heart to admire the very same celestial bodies as did the great astrologers of our past. Everyday I enjoy the unique benefits of astrological knowledge, this subject has truly enriched my understanding of life from a higher perspective.
In 2022, I was awarded the Practitioners Level Certification in Horary Astrology from the School of Traditional Astrology, founded by Deborah Houlding. As of 2025 I am currently enrolled in the school’s Advanced Level Horary Diploma program.
I have studied specialist techniques through various workshops, including predictive natal astrology and Sanskrit with Martin Gansten, traditional natal astrology and astrological magic with Nina Gryphon, midpoints and harmonics with Alejo López and Vedic astrology/Jyotisha with Corey Dowds.
I am also a classical violinist and hold a bachelor honours degree in photography from Edinburgh Napier University.
I warmly welcome you into my practise.
My philosophy of Astrology
Through dedicated study of astrology and working in depth with individual clients, I have come to know, with great affection, the planets and the stars as part of the universal consciousness that runs through all things. From Babylonia and Ancient Greece to present day India and beyond, the planets are respected as divinities.
The natures of each planet are omnipresent in various proportions and each aspect of human life is accounted for by a planet or star.
Working with astrology opens up our communication channels with this divine consciousness, providing the opportunity for tangible and spiritual growth. To see life from this wider perspective is humbling, promotes even-mindedness and cultivates prosperity.
As an astrologer I work on the threshold between the earthly and spiritual realms. Living my own life with astrological acumen has contributed significantly to my overall wellbeing. It has nurtured my self understanding, helped me make sense of difficult experiences, enhanced my appreciation of life’s natural cycles, brought clarity in times of doubt and empowered me to take the right action at the right time. Above all, astrological insights have very often been a gentle confirmation of what my soul already knows and I have learned to trust and hone my own intuition and innate potential.
My service to you is to offer highly personalised astrological insights that may inform and inspire your choices, actions and individual development, so you may continue to flourish.
