About Me
Hi, I'm Sammy Essex, an Evolutionary & Soul Centred Astrologer. I'm based in the UK & live in Hertfordshire with my husband & two children.
My work is often hard to explain, but basically I interpret the birth chart in a unique way, which is to view it as the plan your soul chose pre-birth. I work within an evolutionary context, but also intuitively, so my approach doesn't fit within a rigid framework & is always evolving.
Astrology has been part of my life for as long as I can remember, I was obsessed with sun signs as a child! But it wasn't until I took a course as a young adult in my native Australia that I began to immerse myself & became increasingly fluent in the language of astrology.
I later studied for several years with the Faculty of Astrological Studies in London, gaining my Diploma in 2008. This rigorous course of study gave me a solid foundation to work with clients professionally. Initially this was part time around my social work career, but after leaving the profession & starting a family I was able to focus on building my astrology business & growing my practice.
For many years my approach was firmly rooted in psychological astrology, however around 2020 I began to view the birth chart differently & started to develop my own style which reflected my understanding that this lifetime is part of a much greater soul journey. My developing intuition, spiritual studies (including the wisdom of Kabbalah) along with my interest in consciousness & the soul's evolution have all influenced the way I interpret a birth chart.
What I do know is that we are not merely human, we are eternal souls having a human experience. We choose to come to this 'earth school' & we live many lives. As souls we carefully select our early circumstances in order to provide the optimum environment for us to develop. We incarnate with themes to explore, challenges to work through with the aim of soul growth & evolution.
This is the lens through which I work & I'm passionate about people understanding there is more to their life than meets the eye. My consultations not only validate who you are as a human & honour your experiences, but I also help you understand your life from a higher vantage point. This shift in perspective can make all the difference to any challenges you are facing & clarifies how you can live in authentic alignment with your soul's plan.
I'm a non-judgemental, compassionate & caring person who considers each consultation a privilege.
In terms of qualifications I have both a Bachelor of Arts & a Bachelor of Social Work from The University of Melbourne. I'm a Diploma holder with The Faculty of Astrological Studies & a member of the UK Astrological Association.
I maintain professional liability insurance & have high standards of integrity in my work. My code of ethics can be found here
