Diotima began studying astrology in 1968, taking classes from Zoltan Mason in New York City. For the next 22 years, she practiced astrology only for herself and her friends, continuing her studies while watching an increasingly humanistic, psychologically oriented, modern astrology blossom through the work of leading astrologers such as Noel Tyl, Liz Greene, Rob Hand, Marion March, Stephen Arroyo and Howard Sasportas.

In 1986, Diotima started reading Tarot, discovering that she is a gifted intuitive. In 1991, she began practicing both astrology and Tarot professionally.

Diotima views astrology and Tarot as tools for understanding our lives in the context of a holographic, holistic universe, in which each part reflects and is connected to the whole.

Diotima’s personal spiritual path is rooted in the Western mystery traditions, the principles of Yoga, and a profound connection with the natural world. She practices Wicca, and utilizes shamanic practices for healing and to live in harmony with Nature.  Over 15 years of studying Chinese martial arts has given her a deep appreciation of Taoist thought, and she is currently learning an African indigenous spiritual tradition with Malidoma Somé
