About Astrologylar
Who is behind Astrologylar?
Brandon is a Singaporean creative professional who has used astrology as a tool to navigate through personal life. But after having gone through a spiritual awakening and an unplanned kundalini awakening, he now practices astrology full time with spiritual and conscious knowledge of Gaia.

What exactly is astrology?
“The study of the movements and relative positions of celestial bodies interpreted as having an influence on human affairs and the natural world.”
It’s practice first started 3000 to 2001 BC. We are now in the 2000s, so that’s a history of 4000 plus years. Depending on the school of thought, modern for more psychological mechanics, or traditional for a more divinatory practice, astrology as a whole is a conscious way of connecting what can’t be explained, with what is existing in the 3D here on the physical plane we call Earth or Gaia.
What type of astrology do you practice?
We practice first and foremost, traditional astrology. As with all the different techniques used in Astrology, we also incorporate modern astrology, more specifically Evolutionary astrology. The different archetypes and soul level understanding brings forth a deeper tone for us, in terms of being able to decipher more in your life.
Do you have any credentials?
We do not have any certifications as we believe the content that we put out there will be sufficient in showing the knowledge we have. Yes, those certifications will ‘legalise’ the knowledge that we have and appear to be more substantial or credible. But what if I told you there are many astrologers without any certifications, doing way better jobs at deciphering a birth chart than those ‘trained’ astrologers?
How do you know if one is good then? Look at the information that they put out, pictures of them or best if you have seen them in person. The way they carry themselves, the way they talk etc. Maybe it’s just us, but we’re able to see through the facade and see people for who they really are. As long as you’re comfortable, and it feels right, even if that astrologer is not us, engage whoever makes you feel like they have that extra something to offer you.
Are you teaching astrology?
For now, we have no plans to teach astrology. But, it is in my (Brandon) chart to teach that at some point in life. Do I feel ready to teach? No. Maybe after I have done at least 10,000 different birth charts. I do feel like it shouldn’t be taught to just any one, especially those who plan to use it to do more harm than good.
Do you do tarot readings?
We do not do tarot readings as our focus (for now) is in Astrology, with a spiritual practice of consciousness. While there are some similarities with Tarot, our preference is to be a bit more mathematical in nature coupled with concepts, formulas and actually seeing planets ‘move’.
Are crystals a part of your practice?
We do not use any crystals or magic balls to see your life. We use your birth time, date and location of birth to generate your birth chart, based on where the planets are at the time of your birth, to foresee what your life has in store for you.
Readings
Where are the readings held?
We currently do readings in our home office or online calls.
What readings are available?
There are 3 readings available
1. Life reading where we go through what is promised for you in this life.
2. Yearly reading where we go through what the year has in store for you.
3. Full reading where we go through the Life + Yearly readings, as well as look into which periods of your life are going to be important. This Full reading also includes an additional reading of your Soul’s purpose, which is not included in the Life reading.
What reading should I do?
We would recommend doing at least the Life reading. This is the most important one that you should be aware of. It’s basically a blueprint of what is going to happen in your life. Being aware of it and being able to identify certain areas in your life that will help or cause some difficulties will prepare you for everything, if not most things. You’ll be able to look at life itself in a whole new way, that while we’re here to learn certain things, there are also some joys that we could experience.
What can I expect from the readings?
All the readings we do, are meant to align you towards your path in life. It will provide clarity in this world of uncertainties. Point out opportunities, difficulties, what is planned for your life. Yes, we have free will. Yes, those who don’t do a reading are still able to live their lives. But even if you feel ‘successful’, that may not be what you came here to learn/do. It could be a repetition of what you were comfortable doing in your past lives, and so it comes almost naturally in this life. Or as a result of societal conditioning, you align yourself with the herd state of consciousness, and just do what is expected of you. What if, you’re here to be different? Or to focus on something else other than what you’ve been doing?
What if I don’t know my birth time?
There is a way to work out your birth time if you know your birth day. But it may be limited to within a 1-hour to 2-hour timeframe. We can try to go down further, but it may not even be right. As most clients have access to their birth time, whether it’s via your birth certificate or going down to an office or hospital to get the legal birth time, that birth time is very important. If you have a way of getting it, we would recommend going through that hassle before attempting a Birth Time Rectification. If you are still unable to get access to it, kindly write in to us at hello@astrologylar.com for us to discuss how to proceed further.
Should I do a reading for my child?
As an astrologer our answer is yes. As a friend, it depends.
The pros of doing it for your child early on, would be that you’re able to steer him/her in the right direction, able to nurture his/her emotions better and provide an environment in which he/she can flourish. For example, some of us as parents do not know what our child needs, and give them what we think they need. This may result in them identifying with a different version of what they need to actualize in life, and the effect of that may steer them towards negativity. The earlier you are able to provide all the opportunities you can, that aligns with what your child came here to learn/do, the earlier your child can flourish.
As a friend, we believe you should do a reading for yourself, first. If you feel like the reading has actually lit a lightbulb in you, that everything in your life makes sense now, and that everything that has happened, happened for a reason, only then will you be able to make a conscious decision for your child to also experience that sense of alignment, or that the path forward is brighter and he/she knows which direction to go towards to.
Do you have written assessments?
We do not practice written assessments as we believe in engaging in a conversation with you during these readings. That conversation can bring up things that could potentially show in your chart that may not be interpreted in that way. There are various levels to deciphering a chart and not one single interpretation fits all. It not only depends on what level of consciousness you’re at, what environmental conditioning you have been through and what you are currently aligning yourself towards. All those affect the interpretation of each energy on various levels, let alone the whole dynamic of the chart at the point of the consultation.
What if I do not want to discuss sensitive topics?
Kindly let us know before the reading, write in to us, or write it in the notes when making an appointment, of which areas you would not like to touch on.
Is everything discussed during the session private and confidential?
Unless you have made a request that the information during the session can be shared with others, the session is strictly kept confidential and private between you and the astrologer. Nothing will be discussed outside of the session apart from any questions you may have thereafter, not even with your spouse, kids or anyone close to you.
Why should I get a reading from you when I can get free online descriptions?
There are many differences between free online descriptions and an astrologer’s analysis. There is a fundamental lack of considerations in pre-programmed online descriptions. No one description can fit all charts even if they show some similarities, there are bound to be differences. The way in which you interpret that then, will be very different.
Can’t I just read daily horoscopes?
Daily horoscopes are catered to the masses. Not just that, it may not even apply to you. While you could be born in August, and identify as a Leo, your Rising, your Moon, may be in different signs. All these will greatly affect what the day has in store for you, especially with all the planets constantly moving, and how they will affect your individual planet. We do not cater to the masses, but more towards individuals and helping them realize and actualize their life in a more conscious manner.
Payments and Financing
How do I pay you?
We currently accept direct bank transfers for Singapore clients, and accept Wise payments for International clients. The payment methods will be sent to you when you make a booking.
Why should I pay for such services?
Apart from the need for material sustenance, the practice of all metaphysics is a divine art, as with any spiritual or ‘faithful’ practice. While I (Brandon) can’t speak for other practitioners, my purpose here on this physical plane isn’t to gain material wealth. Those who know me, know that I don’t really care about ‘money’. That by the way, is one of my lessons in this life.
Why am I charging then? Cause I believe in karma and this being a divine practice. I have offered ‘free’ readings and also offered ‘free’ advice. Both of which have resulted in negative effects on both me as an Astrologer, and the recipient of the information I have conveyed information to. While the effects could be seen as both minimal and/or detrimental, it is still negative. Whether that negativity is played out in this life or in others, that itself, can be avoided. There are deeper causes and effects, all of which are happening behind the scenes. And of psychological reasons behind why every practitioner charges a fee.
What can I do, if I can’t afford the services?
While we are always prioritising it to be affordable, we understand that not everyone has the capability to afford these services. We are here, firstly, to help everyone align better on their path and work out difficulties or point out areas of opportunities. Kindly write in to us at hello@astrologylar.com with your interest and situation.
