My Story
Astrology has added extra depth to my life for more than thirty years, explaining why certain things have happened the way they did and helping me find new stability after life-altering events.
At my age, born in 1960, I have already gone through Saturn’s return twice, and both times with a bang. The first time was in my late twenties, around 29-30 years old. I couldn’t understand what was wrong with me. It felt like I was walking with my head in a fog for two years, wondering if this was how my life was going to be. It only became clear when I ordered my first yearly horoscope and had it explained to me. After that, I ordered yearly horoscopes from trusted astrologers every year.
The second Saturn return
When Saturn returned for the second time, at 59 years old, I was prepared, but still, my life fell apart in every possible way. Saturn destroys what is built on unstable ground. Thanks to the ordeal of depression, divorce, and friends who left, I came out of the crucible much stronger and much happier. My astrology studies kept me afloat during my depression, and now I’ve added intense studies of the fascinating world of Tarot cards. I began my studies with my tarot mentor Annika Rosén in Sweden, and I am now also a certified Tarot Advisor from BiddyTarot in Australia. I have studied astrology with various teachers until 2024, when I decided to switch from modern astrology to traditional astrology. Now I follow Kelly Surtee´s astrology school in Canada. Since the summer of 2025, I have made a quantum leap in my spiritual development and actively communicate through the pendulum with my spirit guides, which brings immense benefit and joy to everything I do.
Astrological birth chart a celestial fingerprint
The astrological birth chart is our celestial fingerprint for the moment we are born. Thanks to it, we come to understand ourselves and, through the movement of the planets across the sky, we can see when certain things will happen.
I lost my right thumb in an accident the same day Mars was conjunct with my Ascendant. It would have been wise to study the chart carefully that week. My astrology and Tarot studies gained momentum when Jupiter entered my 9th house of studies and astrology. The 9th house is also associated with publishing. When Jupiter entered this house in 2001, I started my own publishing company, Vingpennan, and became a successful publisher for the next twenty years.
I have the Ascendant in Libra, the Sun in Sagittarius, and the Moon in Virgo. I love beautiful and harmonious surroundings, Libra; I have the energy for lifelong learning, Sagittarius; and I draw my imagination for all my books from the Moon in the 12th house. I have written nearly twenty books: children’s books, archipelago documentaries, and most recently, two crime-comedy books for adults with my colleague Gudrun Wessnert. You can find more about mybooks at vingpennan.com.
Tarot opens the subconscious, the pendulum connects to the universe
Astrology and Tarot are connected on many different levels. The four elements in astrology—fire, earth, water, and air—are reflected in the four suits of the Minor Arcana in the Tarot cards. Each Tarot card is associated with a specific planet. Thanks to my knowledge of astrology, I can deepen the interpretation of the cards and help you find your true path in life. It’s truly magical to get answers to a problem through a tarot reading. The cards reveal the answers you already carry deep within — answers sometimes hidden so far in the subconscious that they cannot be reached alone. Through the pendulum, my spirit guides lead me to a meaningful and profound reading. Guided by the universe, the stars, and the cards, I bring clarity and insight so you can move forward with confidence..
