About
Hi, I'm "TZ" (among other names)! Having grown up in the Gorge, I care deeply for our beautiful home! With a degree in Ethnobotany and Indigenous Studies from OSU, I have a passion for community healing & fostering relationship to land!
In recent years, I've spent time tending to the ancestors and anchoring in my own Ashkenazi heritage; which has yielded the grounds to connect deeply with a diversity of lineages including Japanese and Tibetan Buddhism, Chinese Medicine and Martial Arts, Polynesian Dance, Jewish Mysticism, and Hellenic Astrology.
​
As I prepare myself for Acupuncture School, I'm keen to begin intentionally sharing my growing gifts of music, compassion, and guidance with all.
TESTIMONIALS
“TZ's reading was truly transformative. They gave me a profound sense of confidence in my current path and inspired me to wholeheartedly pursue my passions and dreams, without the pressure of conformity. I feel incredibly seen and grateful for their insightful guidance and for affirming my individuality and creative pursuits.”

“I’ve never had an astrology reading like the one I had with Tzelev. They clearly know what they are talking about. They are a wealth of knowledge- not just around your chart, but also around the historical and cultural contexts that influence your chart and identity. I would call Tzelev a ‘holistic astrologer,’ carefully analyzing and thoughtfully explaining all of the unique intersections and points in the chart. I was so immersed. I would recommend Tzelev over and over again!”

“Going through my astrology chart with Tzelev was such a game changer! There is so much about my astrology chart I had no idea about, that was such a joy to learn through Tzelev. They were able to pick up on things in my chart and explain the relevance in my life in a way that felt so comforting and reassuring.
Through our conversation, Tzelev was able to pick up on a lot of the worries I have been having and answer questions I didn’t even know I had—plus the ones I did! I had been having a lot of confusion in life about what my next steps are going to be, and the beautiful thing about astrology is, if you have someone who can understand your chart and reflect back to you what is already yours, it makes those confusing moments so much clearer.
If you’re looking for direction or clarity, doing a reading with Tzelev will definitely point you in the right way with ease."

“While bathing in their magical harp music, I was utterly transported in both body and mind. Sensationally, I floated—flooded with warmth! Spiritually, I touched tender parts of myself with compassion, forgiveness, and healing. Tzelev is humble, open-hearted, and powerful in their medicine.”

Q&A
What kind of astrology do you practice?
I practice traditional astrology, focusing on the use of whole sign houses, the traditional planets and their rulerships, essential dignities, and chart sects. I also employ various timing techniques such as transits, annual and monthly profection, secondary progressions, and zodiacal releasing.
What kind of harp do you play?
I play the traditional celtic folk harp, sometimes referred to as a 'lever harp.' The traditional Gaelic name for this Ireland-native instrument is the cláirseach ("klair-shokh").
How long have you been practicing astrology?
Astrology has been a long-time interest of mine, but I officially began my independent study in 2019, and I've been giving casual consultations to friends since 2023.
How long have you been playing harp?
The first time I saw a harp was in 2020. It became my COVID-19 activity during the pandemic. I am a self-taught harper with no prior musical experience. The music I make is entirely improvisational!
