ACQUAFORTIS IS HILARY SPITERI

Born on the island of Malta where North Africa meets Europe and the Goddess rests, Hilaria Spiteri has been exposed to various cultural influences. An alchemist and animist at heart she has been a star gazer since childhood but at a certain point in her life astrology swept her off her feet when she least expected it. When then Hathor called, she reluctantly answered and discovered Hellenistic astrology. Acquafortis Astrology is this life long journey of that greater calling that burns in her heart, to render simple, straightforward and practical, ancient astrology for modern sacred daily living.

The Unique Gift

Hilary is gifted. She hears the planets speak and translates their stories simply and honestly, without mincing words. Our virtues and shortcomings are not spared. Acquafortis is raw, real and easy to understand. Hellenistic astrology is one of the oldest modalities and is highly unique even in the context of traditional astrology. Not many practice this ancient modality but it uniquely offers a sacred perspective on cosmic lessons.

Why Acquafortis Astrology?

Astrology is a connection with the Divine. Life is not always pretty. Astrology helps us give the ugly and hard part of life a context and perhaps a meaning. No need to understand astrology. Acquafortis makes it clear. And Acquafortis advocates for the global community, welcoming folks from all genders, races, religions, walks of life with particular attention to the LGBTQ world.

Hellenistic Astrology

Hellenistic astrology arises from Babylonian and Egyptian astrology. It made its first documented appearance at around 200BCE in city of Alexandria under the Ptolemaic rule. The first complete zodiac to be depicted was in Dendera in the Temple dedicated to Hathor. It was only a question of time that the astrology born in the Middle East would through the Roman empire spread also West to Europe. Hellenistic Astrology was lost when the Roman Empire and eventually the Byzantine Empire collapsed. However in 1993 Hellenistic Astrology was revived through Project Hindsight. This project was made up of a group of dedicated astrologers who started translating graeco-egyptian astrological texts, putting them into astrological practice and later teaching them to other astrologers. It is an honour and privilege to be part of this astrological lineage and offer this service.
