Tessa McPeake practices on Djiringanj country within the Yuin Nation. Her interest in astrology began in Melbourne at age 25 through self study, and astrology has been a guiding thread through a long career spanning many fields. Around the time of her second Saturn return, she formally established Astrotessa as a consulting practice. Beyond astrology, her training includes a degree in social work, a Midwifing Death course, Violet Guide training, and bereavement counselling with the National Centre for Childhood Grief. She has published examination papers on chart delineation and relationship astrology through the Federation of Australian Astrologers, and writes regular blog articles on her own site.
