"I recently had a synastry compatibility session with Lino and my partner. We have been having some issues in our relationship. Lino discussed some patterns I had developed due to problems with my father. I have problems with trust and can be overly self protective. We also discussed some patterns my partner had which needed work.
The session gave me a new realization of the changes I have to make to revitalize our relationship. I have to break old patterns and establish new ones. Thank you for the guidance and help in breathing new life into the partnership.You were so helpful."

"I learned of Lino's astrology work after booking a massage with him.
This was my second astrology consultation ever, and I have to say he was so accurate from the start that I had no doubt about his abilities to read my chart. We covered my early years, relationships (parents, siblings, romances, etc.), professional paths, and how I generally operated as a person. He explained again what a moon and rising sign meant, and how it influenced behavior. He didn't sugar coat anything yet was careful about how he revealed challenging aspects. He also talked about what was happening in my life during the past year and what to look out for in the near future...all of which was true. Most importantly he shared something about a particular struggle I had been carrying for decades, and through his reading and guidance, I was able to lift that burden a few weeks after our consultation.
As a massage therapist, Lino has an incredible natural, intuitive ability to zero in on the area(s) that need the most attention. He asked all of the opening questions: 'Is there any injury I should know about?' 'Are there any areas you want me to focus on?' As soon as the massage starts you can feel an energy that really heals. He has an incredibly strong yet careful touch and he checks in with you to make sure the pressure is just right. The environment he creates which is as important is also very welcoming and comfortable.
I would say he is naturally 'ordained' in his holistic practice."

"I have had a lifelong interest in astrology, although I have only an amateur’s understand on the field. I’d never had my natal chart read until I met Lino and did not know what to expect. I was impressed with the accuracy of his reading, with his concern for me as a person and with the insights he provided into my life, past, present and future. For example, Lino explained that Chiron was in Pisces at the time of my birth. In astronomy, Chiron is a comet with an erratic trajectory in our universe. In Greek mythology, Chiron is a centaur who could heal others but could not heal himself. In astrology, Lino explained, chiron represents the wounded healer.
This was a big insight for me because it captures, in two words, something I’ve known about me for a long time but could not name: that I’m a wounded healer. The wounded healer understands the wounds in others because he himself is wounded. This explains one reason why I’ve always been in the service to others – as a business professional, as a teacher and elsewhere in my life. I am good at seeing how people – even countries – are wounded. I feel the wounds of others. Sometimes I take them on and wound myself even further.
Lino also explained that Saturn was in Capricorn when I was born, which captures the truth of my father: that he was volatile, abusive and strict to the point of being dictatorial. My father was brutal and cruel. In his view, his children could be only failures. His sport was to humiliate us both within the family and in public. He hit, spanked, shoved and punched not often, but when he felt he needed to. Mostly, his damage was emotional and psychological. He victimized us kids – the four of us. And – I guess since my Saturn was in Capricorn and Chiron was in Pisces – I was especially sensitive to being a wounded healer.
Lino said one other thing I still need to think about. He said that we choose our lives – that I chose not only a wounding father and emotionally detached mother, but also where and when I would enter this world. It seems scary and sad that I choose an abusive father to raise and wound me. But there must have been a point to that. And now, maybe I can figure it out."
