I was born and brought up in Scotland. Although my father was a hobby astrologer, few books were readily available on astrology at that time, so I delved into books on palmistry and the analysis of handwriting instead. After graduating from Edinburgh University with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology, I moved to the German-speaking part of Switzerland.

I discovered Jungian psychology and astrology and developed a lifelong passion for both. I spent four years as a matriculated auditor at the C.G. Jung Institute. I benefited greatly from direct contact with the expertise of many of the world’s leading astrologers (including Liz Greene and Gret Baumann-Jung, one of Carl Jung’s daughters) and Jungian analysts. My life as a professional astrologer took off in 1986, when I combined my deep knowledge of astrology with my specialized study of Jungian psychology.

I have explored many different healing techniques, including Reiki and Bach Flower and Australian Bush Flower remedies. I have studied many methods of divination, such as Tarot and the I Ching. I have gained an abiding enthusiasm for the magic and sacred mystery inherent in numerology.

My spiritual journey took a new and exciting turn when I discovered angel therapy and healing with the angels. I experienced divine grace in action – true healing of body, mind and spirit on many levels. I explored different meditation techniques. I learned more and more how to listen to and trust my own intuition and inner guidance, and to have the courage and confidence to act on that deep inner wisdom and knowledge. I now incorporate my intuitive guidance and healing techniques in my work as an astrologer.

“Intuition is knowing without words, sensing the truth without explanations. It operates beyond time and space and is a link to your higher self. Intuition knows that past, present, and future are simultaneous, and can see the whole of any event. It often speaks to you as the playful child that would lure you away from a harder path to a more joyful one. Your intuition is always leading you toward aliveness and joy, and out of stuck places. Your intuitive mind synthesizes information in a flash, giving you answers to problems and decisions. It shows you the most effective steps to take to achieve your goals and dreams.” (Orin Journey / Trusting your inner guidance – channelled through Sanaya Roman)
