Hello. My name is Nicola Allan. I’m an artist, writer and astrologer based in Aberdeenshire, Scotland.

Nicola spent her childhood making art but eventually studied law and went on to practice as a lawyer for just over twelve years. In 2020, she was living in Mexico and working remotely as both a lawyer and illustrator, when the pandemic dried up all her usual sources of work. A chance encounter with an astrologer and tarot reader led to the making of her first tarot deck, and began her journey to the creation of The Wild Way when she returned home to Scotland in 2021. Nicola has since undertaken formal astrology study with Nightlight Astrology and incorporates this into her work with Astraea Creative, a publishing company she founded in 2022. In late 2025, Nicola will be opening her books and begin consulting with clients.

Astrology Consultations

The birth chart is your personal map of the sky — a guide to your patterns, potentials and turning points. In a consultation, we’ll use it to explore your natural strengths and challenges, look at current and upcoming planetary influences, and connect the symbolism to your lived experience. I use a variety of traditional techniques and will blend them with our conversation to uncover new insights and find practical ways forward. Bring your questions! The more I know about your focus and timeframe, the more tailored your reading will be — I look forward to meeting with you!

If you’d like to purchase a reading as a gift for someone, you can either book online above using their birth information or get in touch via the contact page.
