Armand M. Diaz, Ph.D., is a consulting astrologer, author, educator, and speaker based in New York City. An NCGR-certified Consulting Astrologer (NCGR-PAA), Armand approaches astrology consultations by creating a supportive context for self-exploration, helping clients make decisions aligned with their greatest potential. His academic background includes a bachelor's degree in psychology from Columbia University, a master's degree from Hofstra University, and a doctorate in Transformative Studies from the California Institute of Integral Studies. Astrological interests focus on consciousness evolution, Jungian psychology, and an integral approach to chart interpretation - the premise being that the same natal configuration will manifest differently depending on a person's level of awareness and development. Practicing astrology since 2004, Armand has spoken at the annual conference of The Astrological Association of Great Britain, the Iberian Astrology Congress, ISAR 2014 and 2016, and many other national and international conferences.
