Faye Blake Astrology Services
About
Faye Blake (formerly Cossar) is an astrologer, therapist, business consultant, teacher, and writer based in Amsterdam. Astrological studies began in the early 1970s in New Zealand, followed by formal training with the Faculty of Astrological Studies in London (1984-1986), and further study with Bruno and Louise Huber of the Astrological Psychological Institute in Switzerland. A 3-year Astrotherapy training with Jan de Graaf and Inner Child Integration Therapy training with Trisha Caetano deepened the therapeutic side of the practice. In 2004, Faye graduated with a Master of Arts in Cultural Astronomy and Astrology from Bath Spa University College - one of the first cohort to complete this programme. Faye is the founder of the Amsterdam School of Astrology, which runs apprenticeships, workshops and webinars. She is especially known for her expertise in Vocational and Business Astrology, and has lectured at major international astrology conferences worldwide. Practice is conducted in both English and Dutch, in person and online.
