A personal astrology publication

A digital library of my mind.

Essays on Venus, the basics of a chart, and the timing of things — written slowly, and meant to be read the same way.

About Amanda

Amanda writes about astrology the way other people write about architecture — as a system with rules worth learning, not a personality quiz.

Mandalandia is where that writing lives: essays, primers, and long-form video companions, kept in shelves so you can find your way back to something.
