Hello! My name is Nicole and I run the Twitter account @saerix aka Amita Aranea.

I’ve been a student of western esoteric subjects such as various astrological systems since the late 90s. I have made it my focus to find correspondences between these systems and expand upon them in my own research projects, deepening their relations and discovering lost meaning through extrapolation.

Outside of western esoteric systems, I study illustration, photography, music, and technology. My professional experience has largely been centered around network technology and engineering and managing complex infrastructure for over a decade, which has provided me a means to pivot into analytical astrological work.

I strive to provide an informed perspective from a scientific basis but with influences from realm of the mind, soul, and spirit. I use more classical esoteric resources as a foundation and accept modern works that attempt to delve into the microcosm and the macrocosm that are also rooted in ancient practice. Discernment is of critical importance to me. This, among other tools I use, is a means to distill subject matter that is incongruent with the natural sciences.

On my Twitter, I have spent the last few years writing about various subjects within these disciplines, to share my curiosities, theories, and experiences.

For now, the majority of my written content is found on Twitter, and my photography on Instagram.
