Testimonials
Client and student experiences & perspectives.
The following feedback reflects how clients have experienced consultations and educational courses with me over the years. These comments are shared to provide context about the nature of the work and how it is received, rather than to suggest specific outcomes. Individual experiences of astrology will of course vary depending on circumstances, questions asked, and how the information is used. Testimonials reflect personal impressions, not guarantees or universal outcomes. Astrology in my practice is offered as a tool for understanding patterns and timing, not as external authority over decisions.
Nathan has been a tremendous support during my health struggles over the past six months. Having dealth with health issues for years, I found it especially helpful when things became confusing. Nathan, with his expertise in both Western and Vedic astrology, offered a unique perspective. His guidance in interpreting my planetary transits helped me understand my situation and make better decisions. We discussed treatment options, timing, and expectations, with Nathan’s clear approach helping me stay focused on my well-being. For instance, timing my monthly hospital treatments with both moon phases and my monthly cycle greatly improved their effectiveness. When considering a spinal injection procedure to alleviate severe pain, Nathan helped me select the best date and time for both optimal results and safety. The procedure was successful, and I felt confident knowing we made wise choices. Thanks to Nathan’s insights, I’ve seen real improvements and gained confidence in my healing process. His accurate readings have provided realistic guidance, and I’m grateful to have his support during this uncertain time.

First of all, I was amazed by your accurate understanding of my son’s character, particularly his behaviour as a teenager who needs space to grow, influenced by past-life karma. The more I thought about it, the more I realized you were right. I had never considered it in that way before, but now I can clearly see the changes and his growing-up phase happening. The reading with you was spot on. He has incredibly supportive friends, and as you mentioned, his friends are like a close family to him. He started a new job just after his birthday, and ocne again, your reading was very accurate as to the timing. In fact, I’ve been reflecting on your reading recently and decided to listen again to see how everything has progressed since then. You have a unique approach to astrology readings; you pinpoint the issues we face, allowing us to understand the reasons behind them, and gain greater clarity. Thank you so much, and I’ll be in touch again sometime.

I had always wished to pursue study of astrology and when I was presented with the opportunity to study Vedic Astrology this year with Nathan, I took it up eagerly. Over the course of the year, I was exposed to the deep and intricate world of Jyotish and have been all the better for it. Nathan is a wonderful and patient teacher, and covers each topic in exquisite detail, focussing on the content of the Vedas, the Vedic cosmology itself, and applying the teachings to real-life examples to emphasize key points. This course has been especially valuable to me this year, as I have come to grow and understand much about myself through Nathan’s teachings - for this I am extremely graetful. To the prospective student: I would advise that you have the time to really delve into the lessons, to gain a full appreciation for what is being taught. You’ll also need a lot of time to devote to practicing applying the rules and methods, to understanding their various nuances and haow these are applied to various charts, to allow the Jyotish to “sink in” and digest. There is no quick fix at all - your time and devotion is required. Together with this, you should also be prepared to delve very deeply into the subject matter as well, in order to fully appreciate it. Take the time, and take the instruction, and grow from it.

We wanted to get our six-year old daughter into a better school in the competitive UK private school system. We chose three schools and reached out to Nāthan about which school would suit her for success and personality, and for supportive practices to help her through the grueling three-month examination process. Nāthan told us about how she should study, and specific practices to adopt for maintaining her determination and interest. She successfully placed in two schools and we chose the best one. Three years on, she is thriving, very happy and proud of her achievements. We will consult Nāthan in future about getting her into the best independent private school for girls in the country. My daughter and I felt seen and understood by the unique way Nāthan conducts his sessions.

I am a lucky mother to have employed Nathan to guide my daughter’s studies and career. She has benefited for several years now. Alexandra is artistic, and has an unconventional career direction. Nathan’s guidance has been instrumental in maintaining her courage to persevere with her creative path and negotiate potholes, disappointments, and diversions. The advice she got from him always resonated, she knew that this was about HER, HER challenges, HER opportunities, and HER possibilities. And it is working, she is unfolding and manifesting her potential. From my daughter: "The guidance gave me new perspectives, revealing the driving forces at work within me. I could understand more clearly where to find inspiration, how to make healthy connections, and how to avoid wasting energy.”

Thank you Nathan for your guidance about my son, who's early signs of ADHD and hereditary dyslexia were obstructing his learning. The lifestyle changes you advised were implemented and already yielding positive results. Initially, I had little hope that Astrology would help. I stand corrected. We took your advice to get assistance from his uncle, did the research, and found the perfect coach for my son who is now learning three variations of Martial Arts. His tantrums are now only limited to his non-training days. After speaking to you, we no longer incessantly worry about his formal education, and are instead focused on shaping his creativity and maintaining discipline.

I have attended your lecture on the Southern Tropical Zodiac and would like to congratulate you and express my gratitude for your thoughtfulness, generosity, and research. This is ground-breaking. It was fascinating and all the work you have put into it, for us to base and test our studies upon. It makes so much sense. A subject that has personally puzzled me, from time to time too as I consult clients in Australia and Brazil, and felt something was missing. I am an Astrologer myself, studied at IAA and teach there too, and I took in all of the information you presented with a very open mind and will start applying it. Thank you again for sharing your work! It has been an inspiration and I just felt I needed to express this.

Nāthan brings a wealth of knowledge and wisdom to a reading. Astrology is a gift and blessing for our development, so the more specific a reading is, the more we are able to locate ourselves in the broader tapestry of our lives, enabling us to then weave consciously and creatively with the Divine. Nāthan guides this process by approaching the reading with his Vedic and Western and other perspectives. His passion and dedication to constant study is evident with the amount of detail he is able to convey. He meticulously and patiently meditates on the meaning of your chart, and with respect, communicates clearly all that is needed

I cannot thank you enough for your remarkable reading! It was the best and most meaningful reading I ever had. You definitely have a gift for translating charts, with tremendous accuracy and insight. I am impressed and deeply touched by what you told me. I will definitely listen again and again because I value what you shared. I've seen many Astrologers over many years. You are truly the best Astrologer I have every spoken to and had the pleasure of meeting. I am so grateful, you have no idea. I sincerely hope to talk to you again.

My son has been seeing Nathan since 2015. Nathan assisted him from his matric year (2015) to his current final year at university. Nathan assisted him not only with INVALUABLE direction and guidance, but important life matters and principles that he would come across on his path and how to deal with them. His guidance has been instrumental in my son making choices with regards to studies, friends, anxiety, and fears that are often part of a young adult’s life. I cannot explain in words what this has meant for me as a mother in seeing how my child benefits from the guidance on a daily basis. With Nathan’s help, he has overcome many obstacles and learnt how to navigate through the uncertain times. We are all learning; we are all on this path of life and creating beautiful lives for ourselves. But we are not meant to do it on our own and I am immensely grateful for all the people placed on our path to guide, support, and journey along with us. Your child and you need not go through challenges on your own. Thank you so much Nathan.

Aloha Nāthan , I just watched the 2016 IAA BDTB workshop you did on Synastry + relationships. I attended that workshop when I was a student at IAA completing the natal certificate program and your excellent teaching was far too way above my head! Amazingly, today I can understand it and it helped me a lot with working through my marital relationship and natal issues, etc. I am back studying on my own and reviewing all the videos I already have in classes, workshops and community webinars on astrology. Yours is among my favorite and so very useful and relevant – and simplifies the complex issue of chart delineations. I just want to let you know how you are helping others like me! thank you again. Mahalo a nui.

I don’t know if anyone dares to write anything about relationship astrology after the workshop by Nāthan, because although the lectures were rigorously factual, the deeper layers of the structure of each horoscope were shown, and the deeper strings in us is moved (in each of us different and probably some other reason). For me it was a real treat, and indeed not only intellectual. Nāthan showed the vast astrological knowledge, which he presented in a methodical and thoughtful way. He impressively moves between techniques and rules of traditional and modern astrology. He excels at not only the theory and practice of astrology, but also the teaching of this subject. Nāthan is going to be simply a perfect teacher of astrology!

I’m one of the many, many people born in Britain who do not have a recorded birth time and have had to rely on Mum’s or other person’s memory from birth. Although I did have an approximate time that pinned the birth time to within an approximately 40minute time frame. How to get an accurate birth time then? Easy, book a Rectification appointment with Nāthan, who uses Vedic and other astrological methods to hone into the correct time which is down to the second. I had my appointment with him three days ago and was really delighted with how professional and prepared he was. I’ll certainly recommend him to anyone wanting this service.

Thanks so much again for the readings regarding my dating and relationship issues. Things have been at a dead-end for years for me and I was staring to lose all hope, but your guidance and remedies helped me put the spark back into my dating- and sex-life. I’ve even had my first proper date! At my age, I thought that this would never happen, but, it did! I’m ecstatic! It feels like I’ve undergone the important rite of passage that so many people undergo. This is all thanks to you! Again, thank-you so much for everything; it is much appreciated! I’ll definitely be back in future!

Nāthan is an incredibly gifted astrologer. I am thankful to have crossed paths with someone so highly skilled and attuned to the higher cosmic reality of spiritual existence. I imagine a world where all astrologers operate from such an inspired level of understanding and depth. It is my pleasure to recommend Nāthan to anyone who wishes to connect more intimately with their own soul and to the rhythm of life itself.
