Cynthia Thinnes is a professional astrologer who has been giving readings for over 25 years. Her first astrology teacher was her mother, and she learned her zodiac signs along with her alphabet. She began casting horoscopes by hand when she was 12 years old.

Cynthia is a member of the National Council for Geocosmic Research (NCGR) and holds a Level II Certification from this organization. She has also studied Classical Astrology in the Mentorship Program taught by P. James Clark, completed an intensive course on the Hellenistic technique of Zodiacal Releasing taught by Chris Brennan, and has taken a course on Indian (Vedic) Astrology through Kepler College.

Cynthia holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Special Education from Illinois State University and a Law Degree from DePaul University College of Law. She was a family lawyer for 10 years until she retired to concentrate on developing a full-time astrological practice, which has been a life-long dream.

In addition to astrology, Cynthia has a strong interest in philosophy, history, herbalism, and metaphysics. She speaks Japanese, has a basic knowledge of Swedish, and is currently studying Spanish, Latin, and Classical Greek.
