Why I find tibetan astrology
still relevant?
Human beings have various methods for dealing with life’s realities. However, few offer a comprehensive view of worldly reality. Tibetan astrology, on the other hand, is a skillful means for overcoming obstacles in our lives, both at the ordinary and ultimate levels.
What does it means?
By using this tool, we are able to understand the deep connection between different situations and our personal karma. This allows us to overcome obstacles and transform them into opportunities to achieve liberation from suffering, providing accessible methods for achieving happiness and achieving our daily goals. In the long term, it also allows us to achieve liberation and fulfillment.
Tibetan astrology allows us...
I considerate that tibetan astrology allows us to achieve a degree of certainty and wisdom that is difficult to achieve through other means, offering us an alternative to confront the uncertainty and confusion that usually dominate our minds.
Zoldy Parra
About your astrologer
Zoldy Parra has conducted more than 200 astrological readings to date, both in Spanish and English, in the eight years he has been practicing Tibetan astrology. In this sense, he is considered to have completed the Ngondro, or preliminary practice, required to practice as an astrologer. He also has 25 years of experience in the field of meditation and Tibetan Buddhism. He currently resides in Venezuela, where he leads a meditation group and provides English-Spanish interpretation for prominent Buddhist masters and Tibetan lamas.
Dear Zoldy
We call him dear because he is one of the closest friends at Casa Sorig (Valencia, Spain), where we had the opportunity to meet him in 2015 during one of the first teachings given by Dr. Nida Chenatsang for Spanish speakers on Sowa Rigpa, or traditional Tibetan medicine.
From that moment on, Zoldy became a friend who not only shares our vision of spreading the path of Yuthok Nyingthik but also applies his knowledge of Vajrayana Buddhism, astrology, and Tibetan medicine therapies for the benefit of all those around him.
Furthermore, his astrological recommendations have accompanied us despite the geographical distance since Sorig Shop was conceived (2020).
How did Zoldy become an Astrologer at Casa Sorig?
Zoldy began as a student of the two-level Tibetan astrology course taught by Martial Chetelat (2017-2018). Since then, his interest in astrology and oracle practice has led him to complete more than 200 astrological readings in Spanish and English.
Therefore, when we wanted to offer online Tibetan astrology consultations at Casa Sorig (Xátiva, Valencia), we definitely thought of him.
Zoldy has also had the opportunity to receive several certifications from Dr. Nida and other SKY facilitators of Sowa Rigpa and Yuthok Nyinthik, various modules of Traditional Tibetan Medicine, as well as Tibetan external therapies: Ku Nye, Yuk Chö, Moxas, and mantra healing.
This led him, among other things, to organize Sowa Rigpa and Yuthok Nyinthik events in his country, Venezuela.
Other roles & certifications
Zoldy Parra earned a law degree in his native Venezuela (1996). He also obtained his Meditation Teacher Certification (Paramita org. 2019) and facilitates talks on meditation and Buddhist philosophy to diverse groups.
He has practiced the Buddhadharma of the Drikung Kagyu (Vajrayana) lineage for 25 years. 15 years ago, he decided to dedicate himself full-time to spreading Buddhist practices and Tibetan medicine to Spanish speakers.
Since 2020, he has worked as an English-Spanish interpreter for prominent Tibetan teachers and lamas in various teachings.
Buddhadharma work
Zoldy currently directs the Drong Ngur Jangchubling Sangha Venezuela, a group that offers weekly teachings from various Tibetan masters of the Drikung Kagyu lineage, providing interpretation services from English to Spanish.
He has also had the opportunity to receive multiple transmissions and initiations of the sutra and tantra of Tibetan Buddhism from Rimé Masters such as H.H. the Dalai Lama, H.H. the Sakya Tritsin, H.H. the Karmapa XVII, and H.E. Garchen Rinpoche, whom he considers one of his most sincere teachers.
He combines his diligent practice of spreading the Buddhadharma with Tibetan astrology consultations and the application of external therapies from traditional Tibetan medicine.
