Chinese metaphysics, taught from the source.

My story

I take pride in being a self-taught practitioner of Chinese metaphysics and an astrologer. I studied directly from source materials written in feudal China. I saw no need to study from watered-down courses and from 'practitioners' who attended those watered-down courses.

My journey into Chinese Metaphysics began at 18, influenced by my Taiwanese roots. I began practising in 2010 and officially became a professional consultant in 2014. A significant part of my journey was driven by a desire to understand my life and the events I had to go through.

I've clocked over 10,000 professional readings, all personal and customised, unlike generic readings that mainly aim to sell you a useless Feng Shui item.

I am the leading voice in the industry on a mission to educate the public about the field of Chinese Metaphysics and to combat the misinformation and commercialisation that I feel has plagued the industry. I also aim to present Chinese Metaphysics in its authentic form, as passed down by ancient sages.

My 15-year journey as a practitioner has been rich with experience and a tad too much to capture in a quick soundbite. Instead of a summary, I offer you an invitation: explore my professional life, assess my approach, and then decide if my experience aligns with your goals.

Beyond fortune-telling: living effectively

“The astrologer's purpose is not fortune telling or entertainment; it is to show people how to live effectively.”

  • Learn the authentic arts

    I might be a self-studied practitioner, but I would encourage everyone to go through my main website and decide for yourself if I'm stuck at the level of other commercialised practitioners who are only interested to sell you an item.

  • Master your personal narrative

    What got me started in Chinese metaphysics and astrology. It has given me closure and empowered my life ever since I started studying it. Astrology is not a game, nor for entertainment. Master its language and the benefits are immense.

  • No lineage, just the source

    It doesn't matter if I have a lineage or not. The roots and foundations of astrology will always be the same, and the credibility of the lineage is only as good as the wielder of the knowledge. I studied from the source material because that's the best way to start.

Why learn from the academy?

The industry 'norm'

  • Autonomy: Equip you with a strategy so you don't need me forever.

    The industry 'norm': Keep you coming back every year out of fear.

  • Feudal classics: Curriculum built from the Chinese classics.

    The industry 'norm': Modern, simplified courses or "New Age" interpretations that are hogwash and unreliable.

  • Radical transparency: The why and how behind every insight is explained.

    The industry 'norm': "Trust me, I'm the Master." No logic explained.

My motivations for starting the academy

My focus has always been on the trenches of real-world consultations, helping clients navigate their lives. Teaching wasn't my initial plan. Yet, seeing the quality of instruction available elsewhere, I felt a growing responsibility to intervene.

There is a difference between learning a formula and understanding the soul of the art. I founded this academy to bridge that gap - to provide the calibre of mentorship that I felt was missing and to ensure this knowledge is passed on with the clarity and integrity it deserves.

Chinese Metaphysics and astrology are not simply about predicting a fixed future, but about understanding the intricate dance between destiny, free will, and living effectively. My approach is one of reverence for the tradition, coupled with a practical application for today's world - with a bit of the irreverence and humour I'm known for, of course.

If you approach this field with the right intentions, trust me, the rewards will be tremendous. Of course, I'll be part of your journey and be here to guide you.
