    “1. Introduction

    Astrology is an ancient art and science that studies the influence of celestial bodies on people’s lives and destiny. Today astrology is more relevant than ever; people are interested in their destiny, future events and personal characteristics through the prism of stars and planets. In this article we will tell the story of Irina Shpak, a new employee at the School of Astrology and course supervisor, who became interested in astrology through personal life events and challenges.

    2. Learning and working at the school of astrology

    A. Impressions of the school

    Irina Shpak, a new employee of the School of Astrology, timidly started her journey in this field. When she first joined the school, she was impressed by the scope of the work: lots of videos, tests, presentations and workshops, as well as a haywire and active approach to social media such as Instagram and YouTube. These aspects, she said, inspired and delighted her, making her realize how much work the school does.

    B. Workload and engagement

    Irina realized the enormous amount of work that is done in the school. She admitted that she marveled at the dedication and hard work of the people involved. Discussing her experience, she noted that academics and staff have to work hard to maintain a high standard of work and meet the needs of the pupils.

    В. Contribution of new staff

    A new member of staff was welcomed with genuine interest and support. Irina became not only part of the team but also a strong supporter of the school’s approach to learning and development. She felt that her contribution was valued and that the school has become a second home for her, where every step is aimed at improving her astrological practice and knowledge.

    3. Personal History of Irina Shpak

    A. Beginning of the journey into astrology

    Irina Shpak came to astrology during a difficult time in her life. In 2017, in the midst of completing her third maternity leave, she didn’t know what direction to take and how to realize her dream of having a daughter, as she already had three boys. After a consultation with astrologer Tanya Boran, Irina was surprised by the accuracy of the predictions and character descriptions. This meeting was the trigger that motivated her to start studying astrology.

    B. Influence of Children on Career

    Irina’s children also played a significant role in her decision to pursue astrology. Irina said that knowing the astrological nature of events helped her to understand times of difficulty and challenge and to prepare for the future in a more informed way. The desire to learn more about the future characteristics of her children and to help them in their lives was an important motivator for further study of astrology.

    4. Counseling and Predictions

    A. First impressions of forecasts

    Irina was surprised that astrology can not only describe character, but also give clear predictions for the future. The strength and accuracy of astrological predictions proved to be a surprising discovery for her, and she began to investigate more deeply exactly how this ancient art works.

    B. The Importance of Prediction Skills

    Over time, Irina came to realize that the main advantage of astrology lies in its ability to predict. She has noticed a significant development of astrologers and schools where prediction has become the standard. Irina argues that the ability to forecast has become an important part of astrologers’ work, and considers it a key element of the practice.

    5. Practical application of astrological knowledge

    A. Predicting the period of childbirth

    One of the vivid examples of the application of astrology in Irina’s life was related to the birth of her daughter. Despite the fact that she already had three boys, Irina dreamed of having a daughter. Her knowledge of astrology allowed her to plan her pregnancy according to periods favorable for the birth of a girl, which eventually led to the birth of her long-awaited daughter.

    B. Predictions in everyday life

    Irina uses astrology not only for planning major events such as the birth of children, but also for everyday tasks. For example, she was able to prepare for her child’s hospitalization by knowing the influence of Mars in the fifth house of her horoscope, which helped her to be more informed about treatment.

    B. Astrology’s help in raising children

    Astrology also helps Irina in raising her children. It is used to understand their characters and predict possible problems. For example, being aware of future medical problems allows one to take preventive measures in advance. This, in turn, helps to approach health issues in the family more effectively.

    These examples show how astrology can be a powerful tool in dealing with life’s challenges and making informed decisions.”

    “6. Personal achievements and examples

    А. Successful predictions

    Irina Shpak shares her examples of successful predictions that turned out to be accurate down to the smallest detail. She recalls a case when she predicted the date of her client’s emigration with accuracy to the day. “One time I guessed right up to the 26th of some month that there would be an emigration or vacation for a client, and that’s when the event happened. It really struck me,” Irina recalls.

    Б. Impact on personal and professional relationships

    According to Irina, practicing astrology has helped her influence personal and professional relationships. She attributes the awareness of astrological periods to improved family life and relationships with her husband. Irina explains that by knowing when certain difficult periods would end, she was able to approach a place of disagreement in her relationship with her husband in a gentler and more understanding way, “The realization that the period would end soon gave strength.”

    В. Real life changes

    The practice of astrology helped Ivanka minimize negative influences in her life and the lives of her children. For example, when her child became ill, she knew it was temporary and took the right steps to improve the situation: “On June 27, Mars moved into Aries – that’s my fifth house, the house of children. It gave hospitalization to the child. I knew it was quite serious and I took it extra carefully.”

    7. Astrology to help parents

    А. Understanding the peculiarities of children’s character

    Irina Shpak emphasizes how astrology can be helpful in raising children, especially in understanding their peculiarities. She shares her findings that each child perceives their mother differently and this can be seen in their natal charts, “It is interesting that each child’s perception of their mother is different. Even though I am alone and treat everyone the same, they perceive me differently.”

    Б. Predicting and preparing for schooling

    Irina uses her astrological knowledge to predict when it is best for her children to start school and what difficulties may arise. For example, she explains why she decided to postpone the start of school for one of her children: “I looked at his horoscope and realized that it would be better for him to start school a little later, at age 7, instead of 6. It would be better for him.

    В. Reducing psychological and learning problems

    Astrology helps Irina to prevent possible problems in advance and prepare for them, whether they are health issues or individual characteristics of her children. Thanks to astrology, she can minimize stress and help her children through difficult periods more effectively. “If I know that a child may have health problems during a certain period, I start working towards that in advance,” Irina shares.

    8. Work and plans for the future

    А. Current astrological research

    Irina continues to be active in the field of astrology, engaging in both teaching and practical research. She plans to delve into various aspects of this science to further help her clients and students.

    Б. The impact of working in an alpha school

    Working at the Alpha School of Astrology under the guidance of Tanya Boran has had a great impact on Irina. She admires the amount of work and dedication that is shown in the team. “The amount of work at the school is huge and all the staff are selfless,” Irina says.

    В. Goals and perspectives

    Irina has ambitious goals for the future. She wants to continue helping people through astrology, improve her skills and teach. “I have exalted Mercury in the 10th house giving a good period in my career, so I set big goals for myself,” Irina says about her plans.

    Thus, Irina Shpak actively uses and develops her astrological skills, applying them both in her professional and personal life. Her story inspires many, showing how astrology can be useful in many different aspects of life.”
