1)Tell us a little about you & what you do!

First of all, thank you so much, Raven, for having me on your blog! I feel incredibly honored!

Now, for those who don’t know me, my name is Aitor. I’m 30 years old. Origins: half Colombian, half Basque, born in Venezuela, and raised in Spain. I’m currently living in London. I’m an Astrologer and Family/Systemic Constellator.

Before becoming an astrologer, I used to work in fashion and luxury. However, I made the bold decision to leave it all behind in pursuit of my family legacy. Both my father and grandfather were astrologers. When I started working with my first clients, I discovered my unique talent with astrology, which involves generational trauma and uncovering hidden family dynamics within our family and even our family tree.

Despite the invaluable information and perspective that astrology can provide, I wanted to offer my clients something more tangible, something they could take home and ground in their own lives. That’s when I stumbled upon family and systemic constellations, and that’s how I ended up writing this interview hahaha! 

2) What’s a specific example on how Astrology has helped your life?

This has to be one of the toughest questions to answer, mainly because life is filled with so many incredible moments, and picking just one feels a bit unfair. But I’ll do my best.

In December 2021, there was a remarkable alignment: Mercury’s conjunction with Pluto in Capricorn, right in my 12th house. It gave me the chance to have a conversation that marked the end of a karmic situation. And, believe it or not, that same week, my ex, whom I hadn’t heard from in months, reached out with an apology.

It could have been easy to fall back into the same old pattern, but witnessing how accurately the stars had foretold this, I knew I had an opportunity that I couldn’t afford to mess up. So, I accepted his invitation. After listening to his heartfelt apologies and his desire for us to be together again, god damn I felt proud of myself. I validated everything he told me, and with more honesty than I’d ever known, I expressed my feelings.

I told him that, yes, I still loved him, and his apology meant a lot to me. However, after months of surrounding myself with the right people, I realised that even though I loved him deeply, we couldn’t be together because our dynamics together. Are just not Healthy at all so he wasn’t the right for me. With a heavy heart, I walked away. He tried to stop me, expressing that he didn’t want to lose me. I replied, ‘But you have to.’ And I turned around, taking those steps away, feeling the immense weight in my chest lift. I was proud of myself because even in that sad moment, I knew I had chosen the right path. I swear, it felt like an ancient, enormous book closing with a resounding slam.

3) What do you enjoy about London & the Spiritual aspect of it?

Gurl, let me tell you about it all! For instance, back in Spain, working as an astrologer, people often think it’s all hocus pocus, and honestly, I don’t blame them. Astrology carries a certain stigma, and the way it’s portrayed on social media doesn’t help much.

On the flip side, here in London, I was amazed when companies started hiring me to work in their offices, resolving problems and enhancing dynamics between employees using astral synastry. It’s all about comparing two astral charts to uncover strengths and weaknesses in relationships, in this specific case in a work environment.

This says a lot about how open-minded this city is. London is incredibly rich in culture, with people from all corners of the world living together, making everything literally available!

4) What’s an obvious Sign that you can tell when meeting someone without them telling you? 

This one is easy to guess. I mean, everyone has the 12 energies available within themselves, and we can use them at any time. If you’re fortunate enough to grow up in an environment where parents, teachers, and adults, in general, allow you to express, play, and freely use these energies, well, you’re off to a good start on your journey.

That being said, Leo energy is super easy to spot. You don’t need to be a Leo to exude this energy (although Leos naturally have more of it). I can easily gauge the health of your Leo energy by observing how you enter a room and interact with people—hahaha, it’s the most straightforward to detect. But I can assess any energy and how you engage with it with just 10 minutes of conversation. After years of doing this, I feel like an astro-scanner—hahaha! Special mention to the magnetic scorpio gaze, I can detect those eyes miles away HAHAHA

5) How do Full Moons effect people & do you have any tips?

The full moon has two layers, at least for me. First, a full moon is essentially the sun in front of the moon. The sun represents consciousness, and the moon symbolises the unconscious. Physically, the sun provides the light, and the moon receives it. Full moons are moments when the unconscious is revealed. This is why people often have trouble sleeping during this time, as something wants to naturally surface from the depths of our minds. However, because it often involves a realisation, a change, or facing an uncomfortable truth, people resist it, and this resistance creates friction, leading to the stress you feel in the week of the full moon.

Since I’ve learned this, I check where the full moon will occur in my astral chart and see how it connects with my natal planets and transits. It’s like having a conversation with the stars. They show me something about myself. I choose how to handle it, but once you see it, you can’t pretend it didn’t happen- hahaha.

The second layer of a full moon is to celebrate manifestations that you initiated six months ago with the new moon in the current sign.

6) If we are wanting to Travel, can Astrology help us in anyway when planning?

Absolutely! You just need to show me your astral chart, and depending on the type of trip you’re planning—whether it’s for a weekend, a week, or even months, and whether it’s for fun, work, or spirituality. Do you want to travel alone, with a partner, or in a group? When do you want to travel? I can assess the available energy by checking your astral chart, transits, progressions, and even your solar revolution and make the most of t! :)

What’s more, I saw in my solar revolution that I had a fantastic opportunity back in 2022 to embark on a spiritual journey in a group. When Egypt called my name, I knew it was meant to be. That trip changed my life! 

7) Who’s your favorite Astrologer and why?

My favourite astrologer is also one of my mentors, Mia Astral. I can’t help but see myself reflected in her. Hahaha, I’m sorry, but she’s also Venezuelan like me. When she speaks, it feels like home. She emigrated to the USA and she is the perfect example of how not to let a couple of books define you or your life. She has the south node in conjunction with her sun, and whatever you read in astrology books about that kind of aspect is never beautiful. Through her personal experience, she has brought new meanings and definitions to what you can truly do with the karmic nodes in your astral chart and how they work on a deeper, personal, and global level. She build a platform with nearly 3M followers. And of course she’s also a lot of fun hahahaha 

8) There has been so much talk about Aliens in the news lately. How does this relate to astrology?

In my videos, I often emphasise that while I am an astrologer, I do not allow astrology to define or control me. Instead, I choose to observe, practice, and share my knowledge. With that being said, let’s delve into the astrological aspects at play. Uranus, a planet associated with the unconventional, plot twist, what comes from the stars and and outside-the-box elements, is currently transiting through Taurus, which is traditionally linked to our planet Earth, money, stability etc. This transit allows Uranus to interact with the seeds left behind by the north node in 2021 and 2022, symbolising new destinies and possibilities. Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Jupiter, known for its amplifying effects, enters the picture. When Jupiter and Uranus come closer to each other, typically within a 10-degree separation, it is considered a conjunction in classical astrology. The week this alignment started I observed the sparked discussions and speculations about extraterrestrial phenomena. While I cannot predict the exact outcome, I am genuinely intrigued to witness how this conjunction unfolds in April-May 2024. It has the potential to leave a lasting impact on a global scale, and we may remember it for years to come.

9) Do you have any tips for Rituals for New Moons?

For new moons, I always recommend two things: first, check the specific area of your astrological chart where it will occur. Then, reflect on the corresponding area of your life and consider what you would like to see flourish in the next six months. Keep it simple with just one word, and contemplate how you can incorporate that goal into your daily routine through small steps that bring you closer to achieving it. Set intentions, plan the most clear and easy the better the results :)
