The first person I need to thank is the one who unknowingly put me on this path the day she emailed me my Astrodienst ‘Short Report’ by Robert Hand. It seemed I had a pretty tough period ahead of me. I didn’t pay much attention then, but a year later, I realized it all held true. Another year passed, and I was studying astrology. Thank you, Debbie Neves.
To my dearest friends, Patrícia & Verónica de Brito, who encouraged me to keep studying through hardships, brought me clients, and even helped me buy Kala software when I couldn’t afford anything extra: an interstellar thank you.
Thank you, Mónica Calle, mentor, friend, and former boss, for helping me mature in so many ways. Thank you for your mastery, for crafting glimpses of sacredness, and always aiming for brilliance at the risk of failing, rather than settling for mediocrity.
Ernst Wilhelm, my amazing astrology teacher, thank you! Your philosophical genius and inner goodness have changed my life.
Dear Zümrüt D., whom I met on this study journey, thank you! Your support from across the Mediterranean has been precious. You are every day in my thoughts and prayers, as well as the kedi gang.
Thank you to all my first clients (you know who you are!) who put their faith in me and kept coming back, donation-based. You helped me become a better astrologer.
Thank you, Teresa V. Múrias, my life teacher, for the inexhaustible love your heart keeps pouring out, no matter what.
To Isabel Duarte, for agreeing to be my Godmother and for guiding me through thyroid healing, I am immensely grateful.
To Claire and Frédéric Gaspar, for quietly taking care of me since… forever: Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Maria Emília Castel-Branco, your sweet companionship, patient support, and tireless energy have been crucial day by day. This journey just wouldn’t have been possible without you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Lastly, thank you to the countless authors whose works I’ve studied through online libraries over the past decade: you’ve all been my teachers and friends.
May God bless you all.

Also: Thank you to the Open Library. Thank you to the Internet Archive. Thank you to old Project Gutenberg. None of my Rahu maturation studies would have been possible without these lifesavers on the web.
