Why Alchemical Astrology?
Alchemy is the ancient, magical science of uniting the above & below (Cosmos & Earth) in order to transmute and transform our lives and our world.
Astrology and Alchemy are deeply interlinked, and in this reading, you will come away having unlocked new secrets from your birth chart, that will point precisely to how you are meant to transform (and how you can be an agent of transformation for our world) in this sacred lifetime.
Astrology never ceases to amaze me with its power to reveal the larger collective energies, give us direction and guidance, point us toward our soul contracts with others, and open up our understanding to the larger picture of what is going on, both personally and collectively.
No matter where you are on your sacred journey of life, an Alchemical Astrology Reading will provide the answers you’ve been seeking.

Level 2: 90-minute Alchemical Astrology Reading To Work With Your Challenges & Shadows
A potent & ultra-healing session where you’ll discover the deeper meaning & soul contracts hidden in your shadows, & how you can access this for your highest evolution.
Each of us have challenges that have been with us from the beginning. We have shadows that stay hidden some of the time, and then rear up more strongly at certain points in our lives.
Our challenges & shadows are an important & intrinsic part of who we are, and they DO have a purpose. They are clues and signposts to our deepest & most fulfilling purpose, talents, and treasure. BUT in order to access these gifts, you must do the excavation work in order to find all of the gold hidden beneath the dark places.
Astrology is incredibly helpful & healing for this kind of work, because it places a mythological, archetypal lens upon your challenges and shadows. When we look at your wounded places using astrology, you will gain an entirely new understanding of your karma & soul contracts, your own unique hero’s journey of life, and together we’ll discover new ways that you can break through into the light.
During this 90-minute Reading, we’ll look at your biggest challenges and “stuck” places, in your birth chart overall, as well as in the current & upcoming transits. Then we’ll uncover the deeper messages hidden in your shadowy places, and I’ll give you concrete, inspiring ways to work with these energies for your highest growth and evolution.
This is an extremely potent & healing session, only available to those who dare to traverse their shadows. $333 for a 90-minute session.

Level 3: 120-Minute Alchemical Astrology Reading + Personalized Cacao Ceremony
Receive your beautiful astrology reading in synergistic connection with the healing power of Ceremonial Grade Cacao and the sacred art of Divination.
For this Alchemical Astrology Reading, we will tune in to the power of ritual and ceremony for an even deeper connection to your inner wisdom.
We will begin by sharing a cup of Ceremonial Grade Cacao as we begin the journey of decoding the messages of your natal chart.
This will be a deep dive into your natal chart, yet guided by the wisdom of the plant medicine ancient cultures revered as ‘the food of the gods’—meant to connect us with the creative power within.
For this reading, you’ll prepare your Ceremonial Grade Cacao ahead of our session, and we’ll begin our time with a meditation to invoke the Spirit of Cacao and take our first sips together. There are many wonderful companies that provide Ceremonial Grade Cacao that is ethically and environmentally sourced. Once you book your session, we will provide a couple of recommendations for types of cacao you can purchase.
Towards the end of your alchemical astrology reading, and in connection with your guides, we will also tune in to messages from the tarot and the oracle decks.
We recommend booking this offering at least 2 weeks in advance to allow for your Ceremonial Grade Cacao order to arrive within a comfortable time.
Alchemical Astrology Reading with Ceremonial Grade Cacao and Divination: $444 for a ceremonial 120-minute session.
Added Notes About Ceremonial Cacao:
Health Benefits of Cacao:
Cacao has enormous health benefits for the physical, mental, emotional and energetic body.
Physically, cacao enhances the immune system, lowers cholesterol and blood pressure, increases vitality, creativity and concentration.
Cacao is often used to change perspectives, enabling one to recognize and let go of repeated patterns or bad habits, release energetic blockages and what no longer serves. Naturally packed with theobromine, cacao gives a burst of energy that helps the mind focus and aids in memory. It is a creativity enhancer and facilitator of deep inner meditation and connection.
Cacao is rich in antioxidants and contains over 300 nutrients including magnesium, large amounts of iron, omega-6, vitamin C, chromium, trace elements, sulphur, zinc, and copper to name just a few.
Raw cacao contains nearly four times the antioxidant content of regular processed dark chocolate and 20 times more than blueberries.
Spiritual Benefits of Cacao:
Cacao is nourishing, soul-returning medicine. It helps us to raise our vibration and be closer to the veil. Cacao invites us to quiet the mind and open our hearts.
Theobroma cacao literally translates to food of the gods. Yet more than connecting us to outer forces of creation, it is a divine gift meant to connect us with the inner sacred forces of creation.
“Working in a ceremony with the spirit of cacao means having the ability to travel to our inner self and reach our wisdom. This ceremony reconnects us with beauty, sweetness and love that lies within.” ~ Ruby Warrington, Healer, Shaman and Cacao Ceremony specialist
Important:
Cacao has many benefits, minimal to no side effects, and is very safe. However, as you should do before beginning any new supplement, please consult with your doctor or healthcare provider before working with cacao. This is particularly important if you have never taken cacao before, or if you have any serious health concerns. Cynthia is not a medical doctor, and Sacred Planet is not a medical establishment; thus we cannot be held responsible for your health decisions.
Level 4: 150-Minute Alchemical Astrology Reading + Cacao + Chakra Illumination
Receive Your Beautiful Astrology Reading With The Support Of The Spirit Of Cacao And A Reboot Of Your Energetic System With A Shamanic Chakra Illumination.
Like the 120-minute Alchemical Astrology reading with Ceremonial Grade Cacao, this will be a deep dive into your Natal Chart. We will explore your empowerment gifts and upcoming transits, but also go deep into the alchemical transformative power of the shadows, exploring Chiron wounding & remediations, and concluding with a Chakra Illumination for the full healing and release experience.
For this reading, you’ll prepare your Ceremonial Grade Cacao ahead of our session, and we’ll begin our time with a meditation to invoke the Spirit of Cacao and take our first sips together before beginning the journey of decoding the symbols in your natal chart.
The session will be complemented by a Shamanic Chakra Illumination with the intention to release negative emotional imprints, especially in connection with your Chiron wounding, in order to reboot your system as you embark on your sacred mythic journey.
A Shamanic Chakra Illumination is an elegant process that upgrades the quality of our energy field. It erases unhealthy imprints that have been encoded in our energetic body and overwrites them with new information that will begin to improve the quality of the information in the entire system.
Chakras are vortices of energy that are connected to the nervous system at the spine. This upgrade process restores the affected chakra to its original brilliant color and high vibration. It allows us to release and transform the harmful emotions that no longer serve us as we begin to shed the stories of our past to live in alignment with our deep inner truth and balance.
After the Shamanic Chakra Illumination, and in connection with your guides, we will conclude the session by tuning in to the messages from the tarot and the oracle decks.
We recommend booking this offering at least 2 weeks in advance to allow for your Ceremonial Grade Cacao order to arrive within a comfortable time. There are many wonderful companies that provide Ceremonial Grade Cacao that is ethically and environmentally sourced. Once you book your session, we will provide a couple of recommendations for types of cacao you can purchase.
Alchemical Astrology Reading with Ceremonial Grade Cacao, Chakra Illumination, and Divination: $555 for a full healing 150-minute session.

I highly recommend her!!"
~ Teresa, Madrid, Spain
"Cynthia is an absolutely lovely soul who immediately puts you at ease. We were lucky enough to share sacred space under the stars, on the Nile River in Egypt for our reading! We opened the reading by sharing a lovely cup of Cacao. This Great Mother fruit definitely opened my heart and mind 😊. Cynthia was able to help me reframe some tough natal placements I considered stumbling blocks as points of foundation and stability from which I can more clearly express my truth. Thank you, Cynthia, for the beautiful reading and insights! I look forward to our next reading!"
~ Lauren, Illinois, USA
"Cynthia is such a beautiful and compassionate soul. She has deep knowledge about Alchemical Astrology and adds that extra magic to it! The astrology reading plus the cacao ceremony with Cynthia was very profound and emotional (I teared up during the reading!). I learned so much about myself and my superpowers, and how the planets & the cosmos are here to support me. Cynthia takes you around your natal chart in such an enchanting way — the journey is like a cosmic dance! Thank you, Cynthia, for all that you are. Many Blessings."
~ Ami, Germany
"Lovely! Cynthia's reading was deep and thorough, and gave me real inspiration and confirmation to follow my path. It was a delightful, insightful consultation with a delightful soul 🙏🏻"
~ Gillian, Surrey, United Kingdom
"Cynthia is VERY good at what she does. She knew nothing about me, but as she read my natal chart it was as if she'd known me my whole life. She was sharing things that truly resonated with me and even made me tear up a bit at how spot-on she was. I am still in awe. This was my first time having any sort of astrology reading. I've been waiting for the right one — and Cynthia was worth the wait. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and energy with me."
~ Diane, Iowa, USA
"My reading with Cynthia was amazing! She is very gifted in her knowledge of this Sacred Work and she delivers her reading in such a gentle, loving way. I found the experience to be very affirming, enlightening, and empowering."
~ Barb, Oregon, USA
"Cynthia is a compassionate and passionate soul. I’ve had two readings with her and I’m so grateful for the knowledge & gifts that she shares. My first natal chart reading helped me to connect with the foundations of who I am at my core essence. My second reading with Cacao and a Chakra Illumination was magic! She showed me ways to truly embrace the knowledge of my natal chart and how my life’s journey is continually opening pathways for me. Cynthia has also helped open my heart to the beauty & compassion that is the gift Mama Cacao offers to all. The Chakra Illumination had my entire body humming, feeling light & free. Thank you, Cynthia, for opening my eyes & heart to these beautiful new experiences."

~ Your Guide for These Life-Changing Readings ~
Hi, I’m Cynthia! I was born in Perú and raised internationally.
I am here to support your journey back to your highest frequency of Inner Truth, Balance, Beauty and Harmony, through natal chart decoding, mythic map guidance, synergistic herbalism, cacao alchemy, and the power of shamanic healing, divination and ceremony.
I obtained my B.A. in Art History, Mythology and Symbolism from The American University of Paris, France. After a 20+ career in the New York City art world, a perception of beauty, harmony and balance—coupled with an intuitive knowledge of symbols and archetypes—became ingrained in my DNA through my work in the arts.
I have been studying Western Astrology since my childhood — As I’ve always been fascinated by the cosmos and the hermetic arts — As well as the wisdom practiced by our ancestors in that everything is connected. Some of the astrological teachers who have influenced me the most include Vettius Valens, Claudius Ptolemy, Hermes Trismegistus, Cornelius Agrippa, Paracelsus, Giordano Bruno and John Dee in classical and alchemical astrology; and in more modern times, Helena Blavatsky, Adam Sommer, Matthew Kenney, Rachel Capurso, and Jocelyn Star Feather. Books by authors like Steven Forrest, Richard Tarnas and Jennifer Freed, PhD were incredibly influential in my studies too.
The year 2020 brought me the opportunity to reconnect with my Peruvian ancestry and be trained by Dr. Alberto Villoldo, Founder of The Four Winds Light Body School, to become a Certified Ancestral Shamanic Energy Medicine Practitioner. This training allowed me fluency and knowledge in the areas of quantum physics, neuroscience, chakra alignment and rebalancing, energetic body reset, journeying, ceremony and divination.
In 2021, I obtained my Medicinal Plants certification from Cornell University, and I channeled my passion for the alchemical healing power of plant intelligence into the study of Ceremonial Grade Cacao. I later completed my Ceremonial Cacao Facilitator Embodiment training through the School of KAKAO—under the guidance of Michael and Makenzie McPherson—and furthered my knowledge through The Mayan Wisdom Project.
Yet my alchemical healing journey was to take me a step further: In following my lifelong passion and study of the cosmos, 2022 allowed me to connect deeply with Sacred Planet. The beautiful and sacred teachings I received from Jocelyn Mercado in Alchemical Astrology are what aligned me with my mission and purpose. Never before did I feel more connected to my destiny.
I feel honored and grateful to now be a part of the Sacred Planet team, and through Jocelyn’s unparalleled alchemical teachings and transmissions, it is my gift and joy to now be here to support your journey back to YOU.
