Ipek Durmaz
Based in Brooklyn, NY
Archetypal astrologer certified at Pacifica Graduate Institute, offering birth chart, synastry, and solar return readings shaped by analytical psychology and Buddhist philosophy.
About Me
Originally from Turkey, Ipek is a Brooklyn-based astrologer, writer, teacher, and, most recently, yoga instructor.
Her interest in analytical psychology and Buddhist philosophy led her to explore astrology for the first time in 2018. After taking traditional astrology classes with Duygu Demir and Eda Ocak in Turkey, she explored archetypal astrology and earned her certification from Pacifica Graduate Institute, where she had the privilege of studying with some of her favorite astrologers and analysts.
She founded her brand, Ouroboros Community, and began seeing clients in 2021.
Since 2023, she has also been teaching monthly in-person “Birth Chart Reading Practicums” in Brooklyn. More recently, she launched “The Threshold,” an in-person community membership.
She holds a master’s degree in Applied Media Psychology, where she completed her capstone project on Self-Determination Theory and took three principles to heart: autonomy, competence, and relatedness. These principles continue to inspire her readings, as do Buddhist teachings and analytical psychology.
Her passion is not horoscopes. Rather, she loves teaching her clients and students how to engage with astrology in ways that are mindful, autonomous, and curious, rather than dependent and rigid.
