Irina’s Story

Astrology found its way into Irina Tolmacheva’s life when she was just a teenager, through a book her mother brought home, detailing the mysteries of the Zodiac. Irina devoured its pages, reading and re-reading them until they were worn. She was captivated and dreamed of learning more, though at the time, she had little idea of the challenges that lay ahead.

In 1990s Russia, astrology had only recently re-emerged from the shadows, where it had been kept under a ban for decades. It was a time of new beginnings, with the first astrological centers opening in Moscow and St. Petersburg. However, Irina lived in a small, remote town, far from the bustling centers of learning. The internet wasn’t yet available to provide her with answers, and opportunities to learn astrology seemed out of reach.

Then, as if by fate, an astrology teacher appeared in her town just a month after she dreamed of studying the stars. This teacher was studying in Moscow and willing to share her knowledge, bringing Irina a high-quality astrological education that otherwise seemed impossible. It was, as Irina puts it, a miracle—a chance encounter that would shape her path.

From that point on, astrology became a constant in her life. Although she pursued other studies and careers, she remained devoted to her astrological journey, eventually enrolling at the Moscow Academy of Astrology in 2006 to deepen her understanding. Her studies and experience over the years refined her knowledge, and by then, Irina knew astrology would be an enduring part of her life and work.

Today, with over twenty years of experience, Irina has clients across the globe and has expanded her practice to include research projects, which she presents at astrological conferences. Her unique approach combines astrology with psychology, a discipline she believes holds great promise. Her dedication and perseverance have transformed a teenage dream into a lifelong pursuit of understanding human nature and the cosmos.
