“Antonio’s Joint Natal Consultation was spot on in many areas, for the both of us. In spite of our varying warmth towards astrological readings, as a couple, we both were left impressed with what Antonio was able to draw out in terms of our individual life trajectories, life stages, and about the dynamics of our relatively young relationship. There was a lot of information, some that we could immediately match with life experiences, and others that we perhaps needed to digest and reflect on further. All materials were provided for this continued reflection (including the presentation and recording of the meeting), and we are thankful for this conscientious efforts. There were numerous examples of analysis that we resonated with. For example, Buddhist practice is core to our journey as a couple, and this manner of mutual activation was shown in the joint reading of our charts. We had a few supplementary questions after and, on the supplementary email response, Antonio was generous with detail, patiently drawing out the patterns in the planets that manifest our individual desires and their interactions. Perhaps most importantly, we felt safe to ask questions, to think or reflect aloud, as Antonio has a kind and affirming style of delivering a reading. Thank you, Antonio, for sharing your talents and warmth with us!” – Nigel and Kai
“The consultation with Antonio stands out very positively in several aspects: clarity in the techniques used, organization in the presentation of the chart, synthesis of the information presented. The characterological description of the natal reading and the life narrative helped me see recurring themes that, in some way, appear in the forecasts and current aspirations. The forecasts and life narrative can then be understood as responses to the initial chart. Additionally, the imaginative reading works as a symbolic and mnemonic synthesis of what could be too abstract. I have had the experience of consulting with other competent astrologers, but they were not always didactic. Besides technical competence, Antonio possesses a natural didacticism that makes the consultation a very educational experience.” – Calvin Lee
“My readings with Antônio were the most extensive and complete I have ever had. I have done natal chart readings with two other professionals and have been having readings for the past four years with others. However, the types of readings that Antonio does make the past, present, and future merge into cycles. And everything has a thread of continuity starting from the study of the life narrative and the imaginative reading of the chart. I cannot yet affirm whether his predictions regarding the future are correct, as only a few months have passed since them. But the natal chart reading and the life narrative reading made perfect sense and went beyond what other professionals can capture. I must also mention the quality of the content and aesthetics of the slides used for the interpretation of the readings and that are made available afterward. It is worth setting aside time for each reading and also for revisiting the material later.” – Maria Camila Florêncio
“Having had astrological consultations with other professionals specializing in medieval and Renaissance astrology, I think Antonio’s consultation was the most accurate of all. Besides knowing the astrological technique, he has a philosophical background, which provides a deeper analysis of a person’s life beyond the natal chart.” – Caio Ranna
“I procured Dr. Vargas’ services of a detailed astrological mapping in order to better understand the practice of ancient Astrology. The results exceeded my expectations. While getting a detailed account – when asked – about the gaps between the practice as he was preforming it and the ancient practice itself, I got a detailed account of the existing literature on the subject, coupled with an up to date craftsmanship of the experience so it wouldn’t be too foreign to comprehend in terms of experience. Not only that, but Dr. Vargas’ analysis of my natal chart was accompanied with an imaginative narrative Dr. Vargas masterfully orchestrated so the many points raised in the analysis could be more easily – and enjoyable – comprehended. Additional surprising benefit of the reading is that Dr. Vargas’ also provided an off hand basic analysis of the basic philosophical presuppositions of the practice, leaning on his knowledge of late Neo-Platonism and ancient philosophy in general. The experience can also be construed in the context of self-actualization and self-development, and indeed, provide multiple insights on how to address the role chance plays in our lives. Overall the experience is extremely stimulating and enjoyable, even and especially when the role of more adversarial chance occurrences is not being sugar-coated while remaining overall in the realm of responsible interpretation, something that separates Dr. Vargas’ practice, to the best of my knowledge, from other similar services. I would highly recommend everyone the experience.” Eliyahu Rothenberg
“Antonio’s presentation and interpretation of my natal chart helped me to understand forces at play in my life. It was enlightening to know that there are planets that help me and also those which hinder me. So now instead of trying to fight this overwhelming, prevailing force of one planet, I will work with planets that bless me in areas of my life in which they bless me. Now I understand why my life was and is being shaped the way it is. There are uncanny coincidences and accuracies in Antonio’s interpretations pertaining to both the past and the present. As for the future, I now know what to prepare for and what to invest in (I don’t mean stocks of course!). Antonio prepared a generous visual presentation, both in depth and in length. He took time to answer all my questions and explain anything that I didn’t understand. I recommend the experience!” – Lena Manka
“My consultation with Antônio was quite different from any other I’ve had, because in addition to being highly knowledgeable about matters related to Hellenistic astrology, he is also very didactic in showing how the application of astrological technique can help us understand the issues that permeate our lives. I highly recommend his work. 🫂” — Phablo Patrício Fernandes
“My readings with Dr. Vargas have been thoughtful and generous. He is knowledgeable and patient, making room for input and shared interpretation. In my first reading, I had no knowledge of Hellenistic astrology or any astrology at all and just signed up on a whim and got to learn so much as he patiently went over basics. I found it really interesting that he assigns mythical character to sign rulers corresponding to the houses they are at, making it fun to explore your chart as a journey/play. I returned with a correct birth time a few weeks later and having looked up more on the subject and enjoyed my discussion with him. He gave me the right amount of interpretation and information to allow self-exploration without overwhealming me. I am grateful for the readings and have used the slides and recordings provided to make sense of some specific events in my life and it has been very helpful in that regard.” – Swati
“Vargas’s chart reading is extremely distinctive. Everything is very well explained, analyzed, and, above all, interpreted in light of our memories, without any rushing or cutting corners during the session. Added to this is a careful, close, and ethical follow-up. But it is worth remembering that this is not a passive, cold analysis. It is collaborative, dialogical, and shared. It requires the real presence of the chart’s owner. I recommend it to everyone. It would be hard to find anyone better at this.” — José Neto
“The consultation with Antonio was very interesting. What sets him apart is the fact that he prepares very thoroughly for the session, dedicating himself to understanding the natal chart and to conveying his interpretation of its natal aspects. In addition, a very nice part of the consultation is the introduction to the problems and concepts of astrology, which he provides while commenting on our chart. For anyone interested in astrology, the experience is very illuminating.” – João Gabriel
