WORLD OF VESTARA IS AN INTERDISCIPLINARY STUDIO AND COMMUNITY DEDICATED TO THE CELESTIAL LIFE FORCE WITHIN US ALL.

Working at the intersection of cosmology, mythology, semiotics, and oracular studies, World of Vestara reimagines astrology and tarot as immersive, intentional experiences. Sophie’s practice elevates these tools to the sensory, and artistic translations of the ancient archetypal language that they are and deserve to be viewed as.

In a crowded digital landscape, World of Vestara conceives space for focused self and collective remembrance. With an emphasis on analog approaches, education and experiential anchors, we examine and apply the concepts that surround reincarnation and temporal cycles to organise the poetry and perceptions that surround the human experience.

In the Aquarian age, we are living through a time of deep societal and cultural reorientation, from institutionalised devotion to community cohesion and individualised ritual. And as life accelerates towards becoming more measured, and confined by tech, the voracity for human liberation, meaning, and depth of origin research rises to prominence.

World of Vestara is a dedicated sanctuary and professional community designed to foster belonging and identity formation. Our mission is to fortify personal agency, cultivate deep self-alignment, and empower members through radical permission of self and creative actualisation. Serving as a restorative, sensory ecosystem for women, the offerings are structured in a way that strengthens foundational identity, promotes autonomous development, and cultivates a culture of radical self-permission.

THE ASTROLOGICAL &

ORACULAR SUITE


Ancient traditions across the world spoke of a third eye, it wasn’t simply a mystical decoration, but a literal function. It is the part of you that sees beyond linear time. Most of us move through life with that eye closed, trusting only what can be proven, measured, and remembered consciously. Through this celestial suite, we create the conditions to prepare your vessel to receive its gifts, and anchor back into self-remembrance. Through the elixirs of the stars, symbolism, of community, and quiet presence, that eye will open on its own terms, and show you what has always been.

For most it comes as a quiet, defining moment in life when living on autopilot is simply no longer enough. You begin to listen to the persistent nudge, the gentle whisper reminding you that you aren’t here to navigate life blindly, nor wait for answers to fall into your lap.

You deserve to feel rooted in your path. Clear. Awakened. Sovereign.

And when you don’t, to understand and make allies with the void as a place of unlimited potential. These cosmic elixirs bridge the gap between ancient akashic wisdom and the reality of your everyday life, tools not only designed for guidance but sacred languages that offer a mirror, showing you your optimal path, and a doorway to your innate gifts.  Together with these tools, we cast a light upon your shadows, and translate your roadmap through your most complex and abundant seasons. Whether you are standing at the threshold of a major life transition, or seeking profound clarity, authenticity and alignment with your soul's purpose, you don't have to figure it out alone.

The secret is that your path is already written and you have the power to embrace the highest frequency and trajectory of it. It’s time to drink it in through your cosmic elixir of choice.

“Working with Sophie has been nothing short of awe-inspiring. I felt incredibly held by her years of experience and incredible intuition. She has given meaning and explanation to so much of myself that felt unexplained and unseen, as well as validation to areas of great pain. The poignance of her observations is incredible; her insights and the safe space she creates have opened up an ongoing exercise of forgiving myself. Not only myself, but other relationships - past and present. For so much of my life I have felt broken, misplaced. I had such a strong need to fit in, with disregard for celebrating my own individuality. I believe I met Sophie at a time when this no longer sat well with me, and with her help, I have done a 180 on so many of the ways I was viewing life. After years of feeling at odds with my character, I understand why and what parts of myself I know to be true but feel untapped - I know now that they are there and do belong to me, just waiting to be uncovered.

Sophie you have such a gift. I am so incredibly grateful my path met yours. p.s. Also, as a designer myself, everything you create is just sexy as hell and that needs recognition

“ I can’t stop thinking about what you said!!! Holding on to that energy.

KATHERINE JENKINS, OBE

“ Today I was taken on a journey that told me of my long forgotten past, a present I had yearned to understand and a future I had clearly mapped and planned. I am finally seeing all of me with such clarity! The aspects of self I had shut away in the dank depth of a dusty drawer, worried that they would never make sense, have finally been seen, given credence and space. Blown away by the information Sophie shared. If you've ever thought of having a reading, I cannot recommend Sophie highly enough!

“I just wanted to say to you how delicious it is and how often when I sign up for stuff I don't necessarily learn anything new...I just wanted to say to you that the way you have imparted the information that you have and the knowledge that you have...I mean I've spent my life being a student of this stuff as I feel you have as well...so I just wanted to thank you for that because it's all levels of deliciousness. It feels like (when you get into the sub-modalities of this stuff) the texture of velvet, a really soft yummy velvet that I can just snuggle into and feel all contained and I just wanted to say thank you very, very much.

NIKKI LEIGH SCOTT, ACTRESS & WRITER

“ It was lovely to spend time with you Sophie. Thank you so much for the reading.”

SARAH CHAPMAN, OF SARAH CHAPMAN LONDON

“I invested in a year ahead tarot reading with Sophie at the end of 2025 to see what 2026 might bring, and I’m so glad I did. Sophie is thorough, engaging and always gives more than expected. I recorded our session so I can refer back to the cards and guidance month by month, which has been such a valuable way to reflect throughout the year. I’ve also had the pleasure of attending two of Sophie’s tarot evenings, which are both fun and deeply opening. She has cultivated such a wonderful community and creates a truly sacred, welcoming space. Hard recommendation.”

SOPHIE ROWELL, INTERIOR DESIGNER, COTE DE FOLK

“I feel so much better from this. You have a very special gift, like an oracle. It makes so much sense, I cant believe how insightful you are. I appreciate you and have been telling people about you already!”

CLAUDIA PINK, JEWELLER & ARTIST

“Sophie guided me through my chart with such deep knowledge, sensitivity and tenderness. She explained the influence of my past lives and the lessons my soul is here to learn, and she illuminated the path in front of me. There are things I feel in my soul that she brought in to the light, I felt so seen and held throughout the reading and it gave me the clarity and assurance I needed to start moving forward. I felt a deep pull to book a reading and I’m so glad that I did, Sophie carries you through it with such a beautiful energy, I really can’t recommend her enough ”

VICTORIA WATTS, ARTIST

“I left the reading feeling so comforted, as if someone had momentarily turned the lights on and showed me the road I was walking, both ahead and behind me. Aspects of myself that I often judge now have possible roots, affirmations I can call on when the inner-critic gets too loud. I feel a greater sense of empathy for my family, and gratitude for myself, my quirks and my struggles. Sophie is a warm and steady guide unveiling a unique mirror to reflect in – I'd encourage anyone to gift this chance for deeper self-knowledge to themselves and those they love”

ANASTASIA MARSHALL, WRITER & DIRECTOR

“I’ve been coming to Sophie for readings for a couple of years now and honestly, I wouldn’t go to anyone else. Am I bordering on obsessed? Possibly! Every year I have my Year Ahead Tarot reading which I go back to and reference throughout the year (usually with a lot of ‘ohhh that’s what that meant’ moments). I’ve also had transit readings and a Celestial Soul reading, which has really become the anchor for everything else. I’ve also been to more in person nights and events than I can count.

I’m always amazed by how much knowledge Sophie has. She just seems to know so much about so much, but never makes you feel like you should already understand any of it. If I need something explaining or want to dig into something a bit more, she’s always happy to break it down until it clicks. I think that’s why I keep coming back. There’s so much trust there now and I love that Sophie already knows my chart, knows the things we’ve talked about before and can connect the dots between different readings and different points in my life. Nothing ever feels like a one off reading, it all sort of builds on everything that’s come before. Shes 100% my go to for anything astrological or tarot based and I genuinely can’t imagine going to anyone else now!”

SOPHIE FRENCH IS AN ASTROLOGER, EVENT CURATOR, MENTOR & FOUNDER.

There comes a quiet, yet defining moment when living on autopilot stops being enough. A persistent nudge. A whisper reminding you that you were never meant to navigate life blindly. When waiting for the answers to fall into your lap feels like an exhausted option and you know with your whole being that it's time to dig deeper. To feel rooted. Clear. Sovereign.

Thats what happened to founder Sophie. At the young age of 23, and in the midst of a tender burnout, she packed her bags and set off across Europe, alone with a one way ticket. Moving like a bird of passage, exploring what "home" truly meant, in every sense of the word.

En route to the Jura Mountains, she spontaneously picked up a Tarot deck. It was an act that unfurled a love story spanning over 15 years. What followed was as much of a discovery as it was a remembering. Remembering a connection to symbolism, astrology, past lives, ancestral wisdom, somatic healing, and sacred ritual, all of which had been quietly restless within her, waiting for a language to speak through.

That remembering has become her life's work. Over the past 15 years, Sophie has lived at the intersection of mystic and advisor, refusing to choose one over the other and instead building a practice where intuition and strategy inform each other in equal measure. Today, she works as a consultant and mentor to women who are both on a path of personal discovery and forming new identities in business. Using astrology and oracular insight not as novelty, but as tools for leadership, timing, and clear decision-making. Her work draws deeply on past life insight and locating ancestral patterning, helping clients understand the blocks, gifts, and wounds that were carried forward, long before this lifetime began.

The offerings at World of Vestara bridge the gap between ancient akashic wisdom and the reality of everyday life. Astrology and Tarot here are not simply tools for guidance, they are sacred languages of self-remembrance.

They offer a mirror, reflecting your optimal path. A doorway to your innate gifts. A light cast upon your shadows, and a roadmap through your most complex seasons, in friendships, in relation, in business, in leadership… in life.

Whether you're standing at the threshold of a major transition, or simply seeking clarity, authenticity, and alignment with your soul's purpose, you don't have to figure it out alone.

The secret nobody tells us is that our path is already written. Kismet. And it's time to learn how to read it.” - Sophie
