I’m Oana Bogzaru, and whyQUIESCENCE is where different parts of me learn to coexist and work together.

A part of me belongs to the fascinating art of performing and entertaining; another part longs to dive deep into the psyche and learn the mind’s structures and processes. Astrology brings all these together to serve a greater purpose: to help other people find their meaning.

I believe that, although meaning is ever-evolving, the core stays the same. Throughout the chapters in our lives, we engage in various projects, journeys, and relationships; however, if meaning is lacking, our endeavours will fail to bring a sense of fulfilment.

CONSULTATIONS

Meaningful astrology grounded in counselling skills

Natal Chart Consultation & Current Timing 

This one-hour consultation provides an overview of your chart’s most prominent themes and patterns or sheds light on a particular area of interest, depending on your needs. Through timing techniques such as transits, secondary progression, annual profection and solar return, we also explore and understand which life themes are being emphasised in the current year. We identify areas of ease and challenges and determine which require the most effort and attention. 

One Topic Enquiry or Quick Check-In 

In this ½ hour consultation, we focus on one question or a specific part of your chart you wish to clarify and discover more in-depth. It could also be a quick check-in related to a natal chart consultation you previously had.

Mars Retrograde in Cancer and the scars we carry

I still experience astrology anxiety whenever a major transit occurs, especially involving the so-called malefic planets Mars and Saturn. As soon as Mars entered Cancer on September 4th 2024, I knew it would be a bumpy road ahead. As Mars is still retrograde in Cancer, and it won’t leave the sign of the crab until…

Dear younger self, thank you for failing

It seems like every time I try to reach you, I get paralysed by fear. A feeling of anxiety mixed with shame and nervousness is triggered in desperation to block our encounter. You are supposed to be a part of me. Yet, you’ve been hiding away, running past infinite walls designed and known only by…

TESTIMONIALS

I left the conversation feeling more confident

My session with Oana was a truly valuable experience. She has a calm and thoughtful approach to guiding you through the chart, explaining things in a clear and approachable manner. 

The insights she shared helped me to better understand certain patterns in my life, giving me a fresh perspective on myself. I left the conversation feeling more confident and certain about my path forward. I especially appreciate the warm and respectful space she creates, which makes it easy to open up and reflect. Oana combines knowledge and empathy in a genuine way.

Valuable insights and clarity

Oana’s guidance through astrology has been enlightening. She intuitively understands complex emotions and has always provided me with valuable insights and clarity in navigating them. Her guidance is calming in short and profound at large, offering perspectives without any judgment.

Everything makes much more sense

Oana is very kind and makes you feel relaxed; that’s why I had such a good feeling after talking to her. After her explanations, I could answer some questions I didn’t even know I had about myself, about how and why I do what I do. There were things I couldn’t understand about myself before, but now, after having a natal chart consultation, everything makes much more sense.

FAQs

How are the sessions conducted?

All consultations offered will take place on the video platform Zoom. You can record the session for future reference; however, please be aware that you can only record the session through Zoom using a laptop or desktop computer, not a mobile phone or tablet. If, for whatever reason, Zoom is not available for you, email me at whyquiescence@gmail.com, and we will work something out.

What is your refund policy?

You can reschedule your session for free up to two times, as long as there is a 24-hour notice. Rescheduling less than 24 hours before the consultation does not qualify for a second rescheduling. A consultation is considered a no-show if a client is over 15 minutes late past the agreed time. In this case, rescheduling is unavailable, and a new consultation has to be booked at the full cost. If there is an over 5 minutes lateness, only the remaining time is honoured.

How do I prepare for our consultation?

Before booking a consultation, please ensure you know the exact time of your birth, preferably down to the minute. You can check your birth certificate or the so-called “red book” in the UK and double-check with your parents or close relatives. As a last resort, you can also check hospital records, if available.

You might prefer a quiet spot where you will not be interrupted during the session and with a good internet connection. 

What can I expect from a session?

The preferred framework for the session is a two-way communication, not a monologue. The living experience reflected through your chart is yours only. It deserves to be explored and understood through wholehearted conversations and meaningful takeaways. Some clients feel comfortable with the camera on, and some do not. The choice is yours; however, in my experience, body language can be just as nuanced and insightful as words. In our session, you can expect genuine empathy, compassion, integrity, and respect for the concerns and vulnerable moments that you choose to share. Find out more at the following link.

Although astrology is a great tool that can offer comfort and guidance, please be aware this is not a crisis service.

What are your credentials?

I started my formal training as an astrologer at MISPA in the UK. However, after two terms, I realised I was falling in love with traditional astrology and am currently enrolled in Kelly Surtees’ Astrologer Training Program. Additionally, I am also learning from her many classes on specific topics. I am constantly improving my knowledge and skills by taking courses from various reputable astrologers; however, my main influences are Kelly Surtees and Demetra George’s teachings.

Integrity and ensuring a safe environment for my clients are paramount in my practice. Part of my continual development is to pursue recognised courses in Counselling Skills. I also hold a Level 2 and Level 3 NCFE CACHE Diploma in Counselling Skills. 

How would you describe your approach?

I practice Western tropical astrology and mainly traditional (Hellenistic & Medieval) astrology, complemented by psychological elements from modern astrology. In technical terms, I use the whole sign houses, traditional rulership, essential dignity and the five Ptolemaic aspects.

My understanding and use of astrology are highly grounded and mindful. I am acutely aware of how sensitive and deeply personal some topics can be; therefore, I strongly rely on counselling skills and solid ethics in my practice, ensuring my clients feel comfortable sharing their stories.

How do you ensure client confidentiality?

Everything discussed during the session is completely confidential. No personal information or birth chart data is shared without prior consent and for educational purposes only, such as mentoring or teaching. For more details, please read the Customer Privacy Policy here

What other qualifications do you hold?

My initial journey started in the academic field. I hold a BA and MA in Theatre Studies, Cultural Marketing and Journalism. I also started a PhD programme with the thesis Ritual Theatre; however, after a year, I moved countries and have lived in the UK since. I previously worked as a theatre critic and a university teaching assistant, in marketing & communication roles and for a publishing house.
