Before writing on Substack, I hosted my own blog here at themadmystik.com
Here are some faves from the OG AstroBlog…
Hi, my name’s Maddie,
your local chaotic creature and raging Aquarian <3
@TheMadMystik encapsulates a few of my core belief pillars: accessibility, authenticity, and intuition.
Around here, you’ll find easy-to-access resources, blog posts, & other cool sh!t that aligns with another one of my fave concepts- having some f*cking fun!
What I love just as much as fun, though, is getting into the nitty gritty; with context and some cozy convos, we can elevate our intentions and tap into our true perspectives through astrology, intuition, and just being ourselves.
I, presumably like yourself, at some point had some interaction with astrology that came at such a time & place in my life where it just.. hit me. It struck a chord that reignited an orchestral chorus in my soul; And before I knew it, I was spending all my free hours exploring mine and my loved one’s charts, surfing the web into the wee hours of the morning, and learning about parts of myself, others, & the Universe that my intuition had always known were there, but had never been able to understand like this before.

I began learning astrology independently in 2019, and in 2021, I began studies under Adam Elenbaas in his advanced astrology programs.
As of 2022, I’d grown my practice to include offering readings and consults, hosting gatherings, authoring blogs, and continuing to consume trusted guru knowledge.

I practice a blend of Hellenistic and modern astrology. Hellenistic looks at the philosophical roots that the ancients concluded from studying the cosmos, while modern astrology focuses on psychology and personality.
-
When looking at the chart, the ancient and the modern come together in a really unique way. The result are long and short-term outlooks on lifelong energy cycles, with the conscious “why” motive appearing in the psychology of the chart.
A “Hellenistic” practice can be simply put as theorizing about & considering what ancient philosophers were understanding from the motions of the heavens.
You know those memes about your Sun sign being ‘adventurous’ or ‘sensitive’? Have you ever wondered where those lists of adjectives came from? So did ancient Greeks, Romans, Egyptians, Indians, Chinese, and so on, and so forth; By getting deeply in touch with the Earth, ourselves, and Source, the Universe speaks to us, and meanings become clear.
There’s an entire story that plays out in this realm; The planets and stars mirror the endless cycles we experience and thus can be understood and ‘read’ like a language. By falling in love with the language of astrology, I’ve fallen more in love with the ebbs and flows, the highs and lows, and the things that I don’t know. I have no goals for this endeavor- My intention is to keep learning about myself and the Universe, and to learn with you.
Thank you for sharing this journey with me.
[LOVE, ROMANCE, VALENTINE’S DAY]
