Mercedes Simón
Astrologer (DFAstrolS, London) and Architect (ETSAM, Madrid)
I was born in 1975 in Madrid, on a summer day just after dawn, when the Sun was in the sign of Cancer and in the 12th House. Perhaps for this reason I have always loved sunrise—that moment of the day when the first rays of the Sun illuminate the world with new possibilities.
From an early age, I felt drawn to spirituality and astrology. This interest deepened during my youth, when I began to experience mystical dreams that could be described as astral journeys and visions of the Divine Light.
With some uncertainty during those years, I decided to study Architecture, perhaps because of the affinity of my Cancer Sun with the home and a sense of protection. I was also interested in the history, geometry, and creativity that I could learn in this discipline.
I studied Architecture at the ETSAM in Madrid with great dedication and enthusiasm. I further expanded my studies through a course at Harvard and a one-year scholarship at the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT, Chicago). In 2005, I graduated as an Architect from the ETSAM with Honours for an experimental final degree project. Afterwards, I completed a three-year doctoral programme, while simultaneously working on various architectural projects.
However, despite my passion for architecture, during that period I began to feel an increasing inner need to connect at a deeper level with the Divine and the meaning of the Universe. In 2009, while I was beginning to prepare my PhD thesis, a series of personal events intensified my spiritual experiences and, inevitably, awakened the calling of my soul.
I then decided to change the direction of my life and devote myself to my deepest aspiration. In 2009, I met my spiritual teacher, Z’ev ben Shimon Halevi, a human being of immense wisdom to whom I will always remain profoundly grateful for the teachings I received from him. Following this providential encounter, in 2010 I moved to London, where for eight years I had the privilege of studying under his guidance, regularly attending his weekly and monthly groups, in which he taught Kabbalah, astrology, and mysticism with supreme clarity.
During those years in London, I also had the opportunity to study Astrology at the Faculty of Astrological Studies (FAS), an institution recognised for its excellence and extraordinary standard of teaching. After years of study and specialisation, I was awarded the FAS Diploma in 2022. I feel deep gratitude towards the tutors that I encountered at the Faculty, many of them internationally renowned, from whom I learned so much.
Therefore, during the years I lived in London, between 2010 and 2019, I gradually integrated the study and practice of Kabbalah and Astrology, attending both Shimon Halevi’s groups and the classes at the FAS, as well as various other seminars on mysticism, astrology, and psychology that I encountered in London.
With the aim of deepening my understanding of Kabbalistic Astrology, in 2015 I translated into Spanish the book The Anatomy of Fate by Z’ev ben Shimon Halevi. This experience allowed me to internalise and deepen the wisdom of Kabbalistic Astrology and the knowledge transmitted by my teacher. Following this path, in 2016 I began teaching small courses on Astrology and Kabbalah, which I am currently developing further with the intention of offering again in the near future.
In 2019 I moved back to Spain, where I now devote myself fully to astrological and spiritual work, offering personal consultations, writing on Kabbalistic Astrology, and carrying out historical research based on astrological patterns and cycles. In this regard, I have written several articles exploring the relationship between planetary configurations and significant global events, such as pandemics and other crises throughout history. I have also created a number of videos on these subjects on my YouTube channels.
Under the title The Invisible Power of the Air and the Spirit, I have presented in various contexts an in-depth exploration of the influence of Pluto in Aquarius throughout history, as well as its relevance for humanity over the next twenty years. I am currently working on compiling this material in order to present it in new formats.
At the moment, I am also writing an extensive book on Kabbalistic Astrology, based on my practical experience accumulated throughout my years of work in this field. This work also gathers the knowledge that has gradually been revealed through meditative practice on the Astrological Tree of Life.
Regarding personal consultations, since 2012 I have accumulated extensive experience in the interpretation of natal charts and have accompanied many individuals on their path of self-discovery. I currently specialise exclusively in Kabbalistic Astrology. In each consultation, I explore together with the client the dimensions of their psyche, soul, and spirit, using both their natal chart and their personalised Tree of Life. I feel privileged to accompany each person in the discovery of their inner potential and the different dimensions of their existence.
Thus, various dimensions converge within my astrological work, ranging from Tree of Life-based astrological consultations to teaching, writing, and research. Ultimately, I feel deeply fortunate and grateful to God for the opportunity to dedicate my life to the wisdom of Spiritual Astrology.
Thank You, God!
