Alina Ramazanova’s journey to happiness was far from ordinary. After moving from Uzbekistan to Canada in search of fulfillment, she found herself still longing for happiness despite all the external changes she had made, including her job, hair colour, and even her husband. This realization that happiness wasn’t external but rather something internal led her to discover the world of astrotherapy, a combination of astrology and therapy.

Alina’s path to becoming an astrotherapist began with her personal search for happiness. She initially enrolled in a happiness coach certification program for her benefit but soon found herself helping others. However, she quickly realized that the same tools that worked for her didn’t always work for everyone else. While some clients experienced breakthroughs, others became discouraged or upset. This inconsistency sparked her curiosity. Why did the same approach have different effects on different people?

It was at this point that astrology entered her life. After a life-changing session with an astrologer, Alina began studying astrology herself.

“Astrology answered so many of my questions,” she recalls. But she also realized that something was missing. While astrology could reveal her clients’ blocks and challenges, it didn’t provide the tools to help them overcome those obstacles. This realization led her to pursue formal therapy training, combining astrology and therapy to offer a unique approach to personal growth.

Alina primarily works with women, helping them unlock their full potential. She doesn’t believe in predicting the future, as many assume astrology does. Instead, she empowers her clients to create the future they desire.

“I don’t predict the future. I help you create the one you want to have,” she says.

Alina emphasizes that astrology is far more complex than the generic horoscopes most people are familiar with. Your zodiac sign represents just one planet, your Sun, in a chart filled with other celestial influences.

“Each of us has nine other planets in our charts, located in different signs and houses, creating unique dynamics,” she explains. By understanding these complexities, Alina helps her clients gain deeper insights into their life purpose, talents, weaknesses, and emotional well-being.

One key aspect of her work is balancing the Sun and Moon in a person’s chart. While the Sun represents the external self and the traits people see, the Moon governs our emotions and inner world.

“When your Moon energy is balanced, you feel safe and secure, like the universe has your back,” Alina says. This emotional stability allows her clients to confidently share their talents and ideas with the world.

Astrology is not limited to the Sun and Moon, though. Alina points to other important planetary influences, such as Venus, which represents feminine energy and the ability to enjoy life’s pleasures, and Mars, which fuels ambition and drive. Jupiter, often called the “planet of luck,” helps bring positive energy into a person’s life, especially when they stay optimistic and set ambitious goals.

Alina’s approach is grounded in the belief that self-awareness is the key to living authentically. She helps her clients strip away societal expectations and external influences to discover who they truly are. “We’re so focused on becoming better, stronger, and more successful, but I see it as coming back to yourself—peeling off the layers of what others have told you to be,” she says. This process can be challenging, as many people don’t know what they want or what truly brings them joy.

For Alina, the ultimate goal is to help her clients reconnect with themselves and their true desires.

“It’s amazing how many opinions and ideas we pick up from the outside world that aren’t really ours,” she reflects. By understanding their unique astrological chart and working through emotional blocks, her clients can gain clarity and confidence in pursuing their goals.

In a world where so many are searching for happiness and fulfillment, Alina Ramazanova’s story serves as a reminder that the answers lie within. Through astro therapy, she’s helping others find the happiness they’ve been seeking all along.
