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.

My practice is rooted in the Hellenistic tradition of astrology. This is a system that’s been studied, refined, and passed down for over two thousand years. This isn’t new-age guesswork. It’s ancient, time-tested technique that cuts through the noise and gets to the heart of the matter.

My practice is rooted in the Hellenistic tradition of astrology. This is a system that’s been studied, refined, and passed down for over two thousand years. This isn’t new-age guesswork. It’s ancient, time-tested technique that cuts through the noise and gets to the heart of the matter.
Hellenistic astrology gives structure to what many people only feel intuitively. It’s precise. It’s predictive. And in the right hands, it’s life-changing. With it, I’m able to offer readings that are clear, grounded, and often shockingly accurate. Not because I’m guessing, but because I’m reading the chart the way it was designed to be read.
But I don’t stop at tradition. I also bring in modern insight, lived experience, and intuitive listening. That blend of ancient framework and real-world resonance is where the magic happens. My goal isn’t just to inform you about your chart. It’s to help you see your life differently and connect the dots between your story and your soul’s timing.
This work is about more than prediction. It’s about empowerment. It’s about helping you move forward not just with information, but with clarity, courage, and a deeper understanding of who you are and what time it is in your life.
Let’s get you reconnected with your rhythm.
Let’s work with the timing that’s already unfolding in your favor.
