Constellations, are patterns of stars that are imagined to form shapes of identifiable objects, creatures or earthbound animals in the sky, they can appear near each other in the night sky, but they usually lie at a variety of distances away from earth. The word constellation comes from the late Latin term constellation, which can be translated as "set of stars". The International Astronomical Union formally recognizes 88 Constellations many of which have names referring to mediological phenomena or streaming from mythological beliefs. In the past those names were believed to be originated in Ancient Greece, however examinations of Mesopotamian writings revealed that the majority of the Greek myths mirrored others from past civilizations and nations such as the Babylonians and the Assyrians.
Today, Astrology is still alive thanks to the efforts of several great historical astrologers from several eras who were able to maintain the practice
Traditional astrology was mainly practiced in the Hellenistic period 2nd CE around the Mediterranean area and Egypt, it was written in the Greek language after Alexander the Great's occupation of Alexandria in Egypt. The science of astronomy and astrology was practiced and registered by many astrologers, to name a few astrologers and astronomers:
Ptolemy, The master Vettius Valens, and Paulus Alexandrinus.
Astrology lavished in the Arab world during the Abbasid Islamic period 7th CE, Where many great historical astrologers had dedicated their time and life to the continuous work on Astrology, some of the profound astrology work in that era can be accredited to Abu Mu'ashar, and Al- Biruni, in correlation there were other great astrologers who were able to translate, write and document the records of ancient astrological events and techniques that we have access to today!
The revival of Astrology took a new turn in our Modern times elevating psychology as one of the main streams and inviting the framework of archetypes that were presented by of Carl Jung, Modern Astrology introduces self-discovery that is infused with experiential projections and esoteric astrology. Nonetheless, traditional astrology is still widely practiced in the west and the east. The Father of Modern Astrology Alan Leo had popularized astrology in the early 20th century and from there astrology took a new turn giving birth to new thoughts, and new schools of astrology that had invited a mixture of traditional and modern astrology to be revived with a broader variety of great astrologers who passionately compose astrological forecasts and overviews.

With utmost gratitude to my Mesopotamian ancestors and my Middle Eastern roots, I am honored to continue my education in learning about the energy and language of the stars and to offer my service to others on their wellness journey especially to those who are enlightened by the path of Medical Astrology.
Medical Astrology, (or iatromathematics) is an ancient system linking celestial bodies (planets, stars, zodiac signs) to specific body parts, diseases, and remedies.
Part of my wellness offerings is developing a Medical Astrological report for a natal chart along a personal consultation, the developed report is a holistic blueprint map, which captures the date, time, location of the native during birth in order to translate the constitutional health predisposition, strength, and weakness in alignment with the position of the signs, planets, the houses, and the aspects in the natal chart.
My method covers the traditional Greek, Arabic and Ayurvedic systems that is set to analyze birth charts in order to identify potential health issues while providing a thorough consultation accompanied by alternative herbal medicine, diet therapy, and holistic practices that aligns with each individual.
