About 12Horoscopes

Maria's journey into astrology began under the star-filled skies of Sedona, Arizona, where she spent her childhood summers with her grandmother—a respected spiritual healer in the local community. Those early experiences of stargazing and learning about the celestial stories sparked a lifelong passion that would eventually become her calling.

After completing her degree in Psychology from the University of California, Berkeley, Maria felt drawn to explore the deeper connections between human behavior and cosmic patterns. She spent three years studying under master astrologers in India and later earned certifications from the Faculty of Astrological Studies in London and the International Society for Astrological Research.

With over 15 years of professional experience, Maria has conducted thousands of personal readings for clients across six continents. Her unique approach blends Vedic and Western astrological traditions with modern psychological frameworks, creating readings that are both spiritually grounded and practically applicable.

“I believe astrology is not about predicting a fixed future,” Maria explains. “It's about understanding the energetic currents of the moment and empowering people to make conscious choices. The stars don't control us—they illuminate the path so we can walk it with greater awareness.”

When she's not writing horoscopes or consulting with clients, Maria can be found tending to her herb garden, practicing meditation, or exploring ancient sacred sites around the world. She currently resides in Santa Fe, New Mexico, with her two rescue cats, Luna and Sol.
