Daniele Konrad is a Swiss-born astrologer with over 40 years of experience in the field. Her lifelong passion lies in exploring the human psyche through the symbolic language of astrology, which she sees as a living, evolving system—growing in step with our deepening understanding of consciousness. Largely self-taught in her early years, Daniele drew deep inspiration from the works of Dane Rudhyar, Alice Bailey, and Liz Greene. In 2023, she earned her diploma from the Mercury Internet School of Psychological Astrology (MISPA) in London—the successor to Liz Greene’s renowned Centre for Psychological Astrology (CPA).

Now based in Australia, Daniele is currently completing the diploma program of the Australian Astrological Federation, having already passed its interpretative exam. Her practice is further enriched by her studies in Vedic astrology with a Brahmin teacher in India, where she received formal certification. This cross-cultural foundation allows her to blend tropical and sidereal systems into a nuanced and integrative approach. In recent years, Daniele has broadened her scope to include a wide range of astrological traditions—from ancient Mesopotamian systems to the psychologically symbolic models developed over the last century. Her current work is also deeply informed by mythology and fairy tales, which she weaves into her readings to add symbolic depth and resonance.

For Daniele, astrology is not about prediction, but about insight. It is a symbolic framework for navigating the inner and outer landscapes of life—offering meaning, clarity, and self-awareness. She is passionate about sharing her knowledge and offering others a vivid, enriching, and deeply human perspective on astrology.
