Rey graduated with a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering at the University of St. Thomas, Manila, Philippines. He also holds several certificates in industrial design and automation. In the late 70’s while attending the university, he started his own jewelry business and as a promotion he would offer to read customers’ birth charts for free. If no accurate or verifiable birth time is available, he would resort to tarot cards or geomancy.
In 1990, he and his family migrated to Canada. As soon as they were settled, he continued teaching and studying his two passions: astrology and martial arts.
He completed Robert Zoller’s Medieval Astrology and Chris Brennan’s Hellenistic Astrology courses. He has also achieved CAAE’s Level 3. Rey is currently finishing QHP (Qualified Horary Practitioner) diploma course under Hideaki Kokubu, one of Olivia Barcley’s original students. He is a certified NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) Practitioner. During weekends he also teaches Kali, Arnis, Escrima, Muay Thai, and grappling.
He has written articles on the Qabala and astrology for “The Equinox” magazine (Philippines), the horoscope column for “Balita” (a Filipino-Canadian newspaper), and the CAAE newsletter.
Despite the fact that he specializes in Hellenistic and Medieval (Persian and Arabic, early Latin) astrology, he still uses a few of modern astrology’s techniques, tools, and concepts.
