Anastasia Vertcliff

Novelist and astrologer — author of Our Sidereal World: Selena and Lilith.

Anastasia Vertcliff was born in Central Asia and spent her youth travelling the world as a flight attendant. She built a career as an art curator — the work of arranging beauty until it means something — and made her home in the United States, the dream she had carried all along.

Astrology and tarot came to her not as doctrine but as instruments of introspection, a private language she has shaped entirely her own way. She writes from the same conviction that she reads a chart from: that a symbol earns its keep when it shows a person something about themselves they could not otherwise see.

The novel

Our Sidereal World: Selena and Lilith is a story of personal awakening — the masks we wear unwittingly, moving through the enfilades of experience, and shed on the way to our truest selves. It is set in Taura, a world watched over by two Moons, the White and the Black, sisters divided by a single blow. There the fixed stars come down and walk the roads wearing faces, eager to help, and not to be trusted.
