Meet Monica Gamboa, one of the Pinays behind the 2022 Ad Astra Astrology Planner & Guided Journal.
Fun fact: Ad Astra is the brainchild and passion project of three inspiring women—Nina, a creative strategist, Inya, an artist, and Monica, an astrologer and drama therapist. The idea came about while in lockdown during the pandemic. As the girls reflected on their lives, they realized that astrology, journaling, and self-reflection have helped them cope with the ongoing global health crisis. In an exclusive e-mail interview with Cosmopolitan Philippines, we got to know more about Monica and how the planner was created.
According to Monica, "It really started when I was back home in Manila in August of 2020. Coming back [from New York], I had to pause my studies in Drama Therapy and go home to be with my family, after a year and a half of not seeing them. I said I needed to create a tool for us to cope with what we're going through. So I found that in my lockdown and my stay there [that] journaling helped me so much. Every morning, I would journal what I was feeling and it would somehow help me get out of my head and into my body so every morning I could do the tasks I was supposed to do."
She continued, "I was having little community groups with my friend Nina, who is a creative strategist and we were thinking about how [we can] help people heal. How can we help Filipinos heal through knowing more about themselves?" Monica mentioned, "[The Ad Astra planner] is a work of passion. The main reason was we wanted to help build that sense of [community]. We are here to care for each other."
