About Sky Guide
Karen James is a professional astrologer who also teaches and mentors astrologers of all levels. She has been consulting clients since 2004 using a multitude of approaches and techniques garnered over years of study. Passionate about education and mentoring in the field of astrology, she founded Sky Guide School of Professional Astrology in 2024.
Karen’s approach to astrology is to utilise this ancient practice to provide answers to the question “What am I doing on Earth?” as opposed to “What on earth am I doing?” She has a reverence for humankind’s relationship with the cosmos.
She began her astrological career learning from astrologer and homeopath Dr Yvonne Melita Dyason in 2004 and a year later began exploring modern psychological astrology under Noel Tyl. In 2014 she completed Rod Suskin’s three-year Diploma in Astrological Studies. This enabled her to incorporate traditional astrology into her practice called where she focusses on natal, relationship, predictive, horary and electional astrology.
Karen also completed in 2022 Carolyn Egan’s Weather Sage course, opening the door to astro-meteorology. In the same year, she completed Jen Hirsch’s 18 lesson Chirology Practitioner Course enabling her to read the divine wisdom and the astrology held in the hands of her clients as well. In 2023 she has studied an introduction to Vedanga Jyotish or Vedic Astrology under tutelage of expert Vedanga Pandita, Nāthan Theo Naicker.
Karen draws on not only ancient and modern astrological techniques; she is also a caring listener and compassionate counsellor using astrology to guide her clients on their life’s journey and with questions or challenges they require insight to. karen is also the chair of COSAPA – https://www.cosapa.org.za/
