Hey, I’m Taylor Shelp, a traditional Hellenistic astrologer based in Boise, Idaho. My obsession with the stars started at age 12, during my first Jupiter return. While other kids were trading Pokémon cards, I was collecting birth times and asking people about their sun signs before I even knew their names.
With Virgo rising, I didn’t just dabble. I went deep. I devoured books, chased down charts, and followed every breadcrumb the cosmos dropped in my path. But even with all that curiosity and hunger, something felt missing. Then I discovered the precision and power of traditional Hellenistic astrology, and everything changed. Suddenly, the sky wasn’t just poetic. It was accurate.
But this wasn’t just about fascination.
Astrology became a lifeline.
For 22 years, I lived inside addiction. I’ve been to prison. I’ve survived psych wards, overdose, and the kind of loss that cracks your soul open. I’ve stood at the edge of death and came back with questions that no therapist, book, or belief system could answer. It wasn’t until I saw my chart and witnessed my transits, my timing, the patterns I’d been living again and again. It was then that things finally started to make sense.
Astrology gave language to the pain.
It gave structure to the chaos.
It showed me that nothing was random. Not even the suffering.
Today, this practice is more than a profession. It’s my devotion. I don’t offer fluffy readings or vague advice. I read charts the way I wish someone had read mine: with honesty, timing, intuition, and deep compassion. Because you can’t separate the stars from the soul, and you shouldn’t have to.
I approach this work not from a pedestal, but from lived experience. I see your chart as a sacred map. A living blueprint of your timing, your wounds, your wisdom, and your path forward. Whether you’re seeking healing, clarity, transformation, or simply permission to trust your own timing, I’m here to help you decode what the cosmos has already been showing you.
Because you’re not lost.
You’re not broken.
You’re right on time.
