Alicia Blando, a young doctor working in the midst of the HIV epidemic in the early 1990s, felt uncertain about the effectiveness of the medical profession. Seeking guidance, she ventured into unconventional realms and stumbled upon astrology as a potential path forward. Astrology, rooted in astronomy, operates with specific rules, making it less susceptible to manipulation. Alicia, a scientist at heart, found herself drawn to this concept.

During a pivotal group demonstration, Alicia met Iris, a mentor who introduced her to the world of astrology. Through her studies, Alicia gained insights into her potential and manifested her ambition to travel and explore healing techniques from indigenous cultures. Her journey took her from the bustling streets of Manhattan to the breathtaking landscapes of the Peruvian Amazon, Belize, and Bolivia. There, she discovered ancient ways of healing that intertwined with the belief that the sky is a continuation of nature on Earth.

Alicia connected with astrology as a language that describes the profound connection between humans and their celestial environment. She learned that the horoscopic map, a tool used in astrology, provided valuable information that could assist individuals in making better choices in life. It could analyze a person's strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and health concerns, offering valuable insights for personal growth.

It ignited a desire within her to share her knowledge and inspire others to tap into their untapped potential. In her book, Open for Interpretation, she shares her story of finding the map she had been seeking and explains how we can all utilize this map to access our true selves and unlock our full potential.

Through her journey, Alicia Blando demonstrates that astrology can be a powerful tool for personal growth and self-discovery. It offers a unique perspective on life's challenges and opportunities, allowing individuals to navigate their paths with greater clarity and purpose. By embracing the principles of astrology and using the horoscopic map as a guide, we can unlock our true selves and embark on a journey of self-exploration and fulfillment.
