Hiroki Niizato is a highest-honor graduate of the Master's Degree Certification Course in Astrology by Noel Tyl, and holds university degrees in Music and Computer Science from the University of South Florida. His work is rooted in humanistic and psychological astrology, drawing on the Tyl tradition of chart synthesis, developmental psychology, and life-arc analysis. He has been a seminar presenter at ISAR conferences and at Astrology University in the United States, and in Japan he offers a 3-year certification program in psychological astrology with annual lectures in Tokyo. His blog at hniizato.com has been active since 2011 and contains an extensive archive of articles on natal interpretation, planetary aspects, and predictive techniques. He approaches astrology as a tool for clarity and self-understanding, consistently emphasising practical takeaways and a non-fatalistic reading of difficult transits.
