Meet Diego
Hello, Diego here.
I want to tell you more about me and my beginnings.
"I believe the goal of all knowledge is to help us make sense of our lifeworld. Curiosity has always been the driving force in my life. Will to find out more about our world is so ingrained in me that I ask questions to have fun, and I explore so I can enjoy life."
I discovered astrology when I was 20 years old, but many religious scriptures and books about science passed through my hands prior. My initial reaction is to dismiss any idea until it has been proven, so astrology and I flirted for a long time before I recognized its true value and accepted it into my life. Slowly but surely, I began to see the world as the interplay of the energies and archetypes of the planets and signs, and people as complex beings living in harmony with the vibration the Universe had at the moment of their birth.
Being from Rab, a small island off the coast of Croatia that only comes alive during the summer months, I had a lot of free time to think. When I entered adolescence, I wanted to show the world my ideas and I wanted to create systems of thought that will help people understand who are we, and what are we doing here. It was surprising to me at the time, but quite logical, that my desire to get to the bottom of my identity caused doubt in everything I ever knew. So, I had to start learning about the world all over again.
Thankfully, I had a lot of love in my life, and at this time I also had astrology to help me explain the people around me and the reasons behind their actions. The support of celestial science saved me a lot of stress and overthinking throughout the years. For some of you who know astrology, it will make a lot of sense to know I’m an Aquarius Ascendant. If I had to say in one sentence who am I, I would say most of the time I feel like an alien who came to this dimension to find out what is all this fuss over life about.
Shortly after high school, I enrolled in art college and later into video game design for a master's degree. While finishing my education, the study of astrology remained my main hobby and interest. I want to push people to explore the world, both within and without. Worldbuilding and writing have been my medium of choice, however, throughout the years astrology began to take more and more space in my life. What was once a hobby became a source of income as I started doing consultations. Three years ago, an amazing opportunity presented itself which began a two year journey. My passion for creating new worlds and my love for astrology came together a few years ago and I began the two year journey of researching and writing the 365 unique Cosmic Birthday Candles.
I am currently traveling the world, exploring the ways in which astrology can manifest across cultures and, of course, learning about the history of each place I visit - my second greatest passion after astrology.
