About laris

I was born and raised in Lima, Peru, the land of ceviche and Pisco Sours, and Machu Picchu <3. I was born with a Scorpio sun, Virgo rising and a Taurus moon.

My family and I moved to the United States when I was a teenager, where I have lived ever since. I’m an Accountant by profession (a very Virgo choice), but have worked worked in the media measurement industry my entire career. Currently, I live in NYC and during the day I’m an executive at a non-for profit that regulates the media measurement industry. When my media duties are complete, I dedicate my time to astrology. As a typical Scorpio that craves intensity, I’ve also been a runner my entire life, and most recently a marathoner.

Astrology came into my life several years ago as I was looking to better understand myself and my life path and purpose. Interestingly, I became interested in astrology as Jupiter, the planet of expansion, growth, and opportunities, was transiting my 9th house (which rules spirituality, expansion, higher learning, philosophy, etc.). As an analytical person and a researcher myself, I fell in love with astrology quickly once I started uncovering all of its layers and connecting all my major life events to critical planetary transits, and my personality traits to specific aspects of my natal chart. I saw great value in using astrology as a self-development tool, and once I learned about predictive astrology I understood that timing is everything in life. I learned that our lives revolve around cycles that may be focused on work and career, health, relationships, etc., but also cycles that challenge us and push us to evolve, to become a better person, and to find our true life purpose. After discovering this fascinating language, I thought that one day I could use astrology to help others better understand themselves and navigate through life with more ease and purpose.

I have been studying and practicing astrology for three years, and it has been a fascinating journey that continues to surprise me each day. I started my astrology practice so I can share my knowledge with others, and hopefully help others life a happier life.
