Unanswered questions

Many years ago, while still in Italy, I began searching and asking the unanswered questions of 'who am I?', 'why was I born?', 'what is this life?', 'why do we have to die?' and so on. I studied psychology, yoga, philosophy, esoterism, occultism, spiritual texts, and astrology. Certainly the latter opened a new world for me.
As I studied astrology, its laws, its forces and energies, my fascination grew and even today I am full of wonder. Through it I continue learning about the incredible, multi-layered, manifold, secret perfection of the universe, - about the secret harmony in all things. Even though I had spiritual experience and remembered past lives, I am still a student. The more I know, the more I realise I don't know enough.. I explore and intensely feel each instant in constant amazement and wonder.

Major turning point

A major turning point in the journey which brought me to Auroville was when my son Danilo had a terrible accident as a kid, and doctors told me that he would die. In the two sleepless weeks that I sat at his bedside, praying and praying, I promised the Divine that if my son survived I would dedicate my life to humanity. My prayer was heard and Danilo survived. Soon afterwards, this wonderful book, the Adventure of Consciousness, came upon my path.., and I discovered Mother and Sri Aurobindo..

Entering the Sunlit Path

Not long after that I re-found my partner of many lives: Vijay, since over thirty years a disciple of Mother and Sri Aurobindo. It was thanks to him that I entered the Sunlit Path that they have opened for humanity as a whole.

At the time, it seemed impossible for me to marry him and settle with him in Auroville as I was totally involved in Italian life. I was divorced, raised two children, had a job and circle of friends more or less on the path, mostly women who needed me, or at least insisted they did. Yet the Divine granted me even this miracle and against all rational considerations the external circumstances arranged themselves in such a way that I could come to Auroville, where I live since 1997 on the Sunlit Path.

Karmic and evolutive astrology

Astrology is a very ancient science, a wonderful instrument to learn and know more of oneself, to comprehend psychological and emotional blocks, our deep conscious and unconscious fears, our karma and dharma.
I specialise in Karmic (past lives) and Evolutive Astrology; partners (compatibility) horoscopes, and do analyses of family situations, of marriages and of personal crises (the 'why is all this happening to poor little me' syndrome).
