About

Hi, my name is Anja and I’m an astrologer specialising in psychological astrology, a mindfulness teacher in training, a writer, a musician and the mother of a 10-year-old boy. I love all things that are harmonious, beautiful and rhythmic.

My motivation and what drives me

My deepest intention is to help us to get to know and understand ourselves and our true nature more fully, using the wonderful ancient tools of astrology and mindfulness practices.

I believe that dedicating our energy to knowing and radically accepting ourselves is the most powerful contribution we can make to the world we live in. Understanding and caring for ourselves is a solid foundation that enables us to reach out to other living beings and offer them the same kind attention and compassion that we offered to our own inner diversity in the first place. It has to start within. To free us from our deeply ingrained prejudices and to help us remember our common humanity and the truth of the interconnectedness and interdependence of all living beings on this beloved Earth is what my work is about.

“What’s present and alive for you right now in this very moment? Be curious. What’s there in your body, in your heart, in your mind? Where in your body can you feel it? What needs your attention at this moment? Go for it! Start right where you are. Every moment, every feeling, every thought is the perfect one to start connecting with yourself.”

My journey into astrology and mindfulness practices

I started to dive into astrology in 2015 when I was in the middle of a 2-year training programme to become a psychological coach. Prior to this I had been working as an engineer for about 10 years and continued to do so after becoming a psychological coach. In March 2022 then I started a 3-year online training in psychological astrology (Astropraxis Helen Fritsch, Hamburg), which I successfully completed in April 2024 with a certificate.

Alongside astrology mindfulness practices such as yoga and meditation have found their way into my daily life, and I’m now taking part in an international 2-year online certification programme as a Mindfulness and Meditation Teacher (MMTCP with Jack Kornfield Ph.D. and Tara Brach Ph.D.).

I feel that these beautiful, rich ancient sources of wisdom go hand in hand and this is the basis for how I approach my work as an astrologer and mindfulness teacher: they are intimately intertwined.
