THE WISDOM OF THE ROAD
In 2022, I traded a corporate career for a land journey that would take me from Italy to India, and eventually to myself.
THE CHAPTERS
From West to East. From Outside In.
How I went from being an investment banker to reading the stars.
The one thing I have always been good at is understanding the value of timing. Not just deadlines and schedules, but something far more elemental: knowing when a current is yours to ride, and when it is already changing beneath you. Staying in alignment with your own flow rather than somebody else's. What I did not know then is that this is exactly what Vedic astrology does, and that one day it would become my life's work to help others find the same.
In 2022, I felt the current shift.
I was living in Mexico City, at what looked from the outside like the peak of everything. Full life, thriving career, golden years. Which is exactly why I left. When you reach the top of a mountain, staying there is a choice, and I have never been built for that choice. My comfort zone has always been the edges, the places just beyond what I already know. Once I felt I had mastered where I was, staying would have meant choosing comfort over growth. And something underneath my skin already knew that the real growth had not started yet.
So I cleared my apartment, packed what I could carry, and set sail into the unknown.
The plan was to travel overland from Italy to Bali without a single flight. I made it to India, then eventually New Zealand, three years later. What I did not plan was everything that happened in between.
I thought I was going on a trip to figure out my next chapter.
I was actually beginning the longest journey of my life, measured not in kilometres but in the peeling away of everything I had mistaken for myself.
The first leg happened in winter.
Eastern Europe, the Balkans, the kind of cold where the light disappears at four in the afternoon and does not return until nine in the morning. I felt, for the first time in years, the pull to be more alone than with people. That winter taught me the difference between solitary and lonely: when you can finally sit comfortably with your own heart and enjoy the conversations happening within, and realise that is where everything begins.
It was in Albania, on one of those afternoons where you walk indefinitely through a city with your headphones in and nowhere specific to be, that my best friend sent me a podcast. One led to another, which led to an astrologer, who led me to my first real mentor and eventually to my certifications at the American College of Vedic Astrology.
I remember sitting every day in a Tbilisi cafe, laptop open, notebook beside it, hours dissolving into charts and calculations. My brain working in a way that felt completely new and completely right. For someone who had spent years in the precision of finance, the mathematical rigour of Jyotish felt familiar. But where finance maps money, Jyotish maps something far more important: The Soul.
I never stopped studying after that.
Summer finally arrived, and with it, Central Asia.
This is why I travel by land rather than fly: you cross a border and you realise it is an imaginary line. The people on one side are not much different from the ones on the other. The reality is one and the same.
Turkmenistan: no WiFi, no Instagram, no outside world. Forced silence that turned into the most profound presence I had felt in years. A world where the mind, the heart and the eyes are finally focused on the same object. A reminder of how it felt before we all became reachable, and distracted, all the time.
Uzbekistan: blue-tiled cities that did not seem possible, silk in every colour, the kind of beauty that trains your eyes to never get used to things and replaces assumptions with reasons to be constantly amazed.
Kyrgyzstan: the horses. Days riding through mountains at three thousand metres, through hail and wind, completely free and completely connected at the same time. The horse is the only means of transportation that feels your heartbeat. That feeling of freedom and unity, with the animal, with the land, with something larger than yourself, is the same feeling I would later recognise in my deepest work with Jyotish.
Tajikistan: the Pamir Highway, bordering Afghanistan, mountains so high they shade each other. It is where I met Hugo, today one of my closest friends. Some friendships can only be forged in the kind of shared difficulty that comes from crossing countries that have their own set of dangers.
Afghanistan: I will not try to summarise it. It does not compress. What I will say is that crossing it taught me that the only revolution that matters is the one within. The best thing you can do for the world is be fully, genuinely yourself.
People attune to your energy. I believed that before Afghanistan. After it, I embodied it differently.
India was the pivot.
I stopped moving to cross lands and started moving to acquire depth. Yoga teacher training and Panchakarma in India. Later Thailand for martial arts, Indonesia for rhythm and community. The frantic phase was over. What followed was integration.
And somewhere in all of it, Jyotish stopped being something I was studying and became something I could not live without.
The first sessions I gave were on the road. In hostels, at kitchen tables, to people I had met an hour before, and on video calls to my closest friends and family. Wherever I was, whoever was curious, the work began. What I noticed immediately was what the system did to people when it was read well. Not flattery. Not analysis. Something closer to recognition: being seen for what you actually are, why you are built the way you are, and what this specific life is asking of you. I watched it land in real time and I understood why I was doing it.
One of the greatest gifts that Jyotish gave me, beyond a profession, is compassion. When you sit in front of a chart and truly read it, you understand why people are the way they are. You see beauty in each person's uniqueness. You see soul purpose written into every layer of a person, and you understand that what sometimes looks like difficulty on the surface is simply the soul's way of reaching somewhere deeper. It changes everything about how you see another human being.
Last but not least: the best proof of how precise Vedic Astrology is.
My chart told me I had a talent with sharp objects, so I went looking for a martial arts school to find out what that meant. Through Astrocartography, which maps your astrological chart onto the geography of the world, I could see exactly where to go.
This is how I headed to Northern Thailand.
This is how I found a school that has since become one of my homes.
This is how I met the love of my life.
The stars did not hand me that. They pointed. I moved.
That is the most important thing to understand about this work: the chart is a map, not a destiny.
It shows you the currents already moving through your life. What you do with them is still entirely yours.
Today.
I still read my own chart regularly. To predict, to understand, to go deeper into my own psychology. To stay honest with myself about what the current is actually asking, rather than what I think it should be.
Today I do my best to be a clear channel for the wisdom of the stars. The most accurate interpreter I can be. And what I hope to bring to each person I work with is what Jyotish finally gave me: the clarity to stop swimming against my own nature, and the confidence to move with it.
We tend to miss so much when life gets fast. We are wired to look outward for answers, to measure ourselves against the world around us, to follow paths that were never ours to begin with. Jyotish turns that around. It holds a mirror inward, without judgment, and shows you the answers that were always already there.
After having travelled through five continents, I can tell you with certainty that the furthest journey is always within. It never ends, and that is the whole point. Understanding the value of your own timing, staying in alignment with your own currents, gives you the most fulfilling relationship you will ever have: the one with yourself.
And my purpose is to help you find it.
