Astrological Consultations [45 minutes] via Phone or Zoom.

I love a good horoscope, and still, astrology is much more nuanced and complex than even the longest horoscopes available to you through media publications. Without your specific birth chart (A snapshot of the sky during the moment you came earth side) an astrology interpretation has greater limits in what it can reveal to you about your life. Those limits are valuable, yet when you want to explore what’s opening up to you more in depth, based on your astrology, it’s appropriate to have a session with an astrologer. Essentially, astrology is a symbolic and cultural study of change, and the meaning we find from it, using the sky as a macrocosmic lens. It's a reflection of the earth/sky relationship at any given moment and a birth chart is like a cosmic fingerprint (called the natal promise), outlining the placements of the celestial bodies throughout the sky from the second you took your first breath. The worldly and inner experience events that coincide with these placements guide us through cycles of history (personal and transpersonal) and invite us to orient and make choices with a sense of awareness, acceptance, and autonomy. 

The subject has become more mainstream since the 2010’s, but is still on the fringes…and you don’t have to believe in it. Not any more than you have to believe in language, art, or even math. Astrology operates in a non-linear, metaphorical way. It can be very poetic, but its capacity to work doesn’t require faith as it is a way of noticing associations between symbols and experiences. You only need to be observant to participate. And the more you participate, the more aware you become. Awareness facilitates the gift of knowing oneself and noticing your nature.

Why Astrology?

There are numerous types of divination available to explore your relationship to reality. I love astrology because of the increased vocabulary it offers when trying to articulate life's various experiences, and because it’s been built into traditions of healing, like Chinese medicine, for thousands of years, so we have millions of people—many many ancestors—backing us up with the continued practice of it! Half of my job is dedicated to helping you express what you know in your heart, but might not have the words (or maybe the assurance) to describe. The other is being present to help support your own relationship to what’s unfolding in front of you, moment to moment. That is essentially what divination is. It’s not about predicting a lottery number or eliminating choices so we don’t have to participate or so we can protect ourselves from showing up in our own life— whatever that might need to look like.

Sessions are a two way street & you’re invited to notice and be curious about your astrology through your body

I aim to practice astrology from a more embodied approach, which means more dialogue (with your own sensations and your body) and more deep listening for clients. How do you know what you’re feeling? It also means more dialogue between us rather than me dictating what your chart configurations or transits mean for you. I don’t exactly know what it’s like to be you. My experience of Mars or Saturn or Venus might be very different from your own and this is where our exchange and open conversation makes sense and offers more potential for transformation and integration of wisdom.

That means we can speculate about your life based on current information and astrological transits and it also means I step back from being too predictive in order to avoid taking over anyone’s sense of agency. I can offer perspective on what is unfolding in the moment based on the astrology. Astrological sessions offer a trajectory based on what is unfolding (presently) coupled with the upcoming astrology. Rather than trying to predict if certain values will come to fruition I’m encouraging an embodied experience of astrology by inviting you to notice the value in your lived experiences which the astrology is reflecting back at you.

Predictions and divination

So for example we can discuss your love life, how the sky reflects it, or what closure in a relationship might look or feel like, and opportunities for exploring that demonstrated by certain planetary configurations. In general I avoid giving anyone the impression that astrology predicts with absolution. I’m not the astrologer to ask when you will get married or accomplish x, y, or z. They’re out there, but I’m not in the performance business and as far as I’m concerned my job is to help you be interested in what you must do (destiny) rather than participate in or contribute to any anxiety about fate (what will happen to you).

When the latter kind of predictions come to fruition, often they are a combination of high probability, already set in motion, and intuition. In order to assume responsibility as someone who does divination, I do my best not to let ego step in the way of what messages are meant to come through. Astrology connects us to our nature, our origins, and to the cycles of life. It isn’t about scoring high on predictions tests. I don’t encourage clients to come to me if they seek this. After twelve years of practicing, I’m confident in my skills, but accurate predictions aren’t always helpful and they don’t always offer the connection people desire.

I prefer to dialogue rather than monologue and act like a fortune teller. No offense to them. It’s just not actual divination. It’s symbolism being filtered through someone’s else’s subconscious material.

It could easily miss the mark on what is most valid and important for you and steal your agency. People also often ask if I can share important dates and I’ll say that dates are always a given in astrology and I aim to keep it closer to present and not too distant in the future (more than a year out).

School of thought/practice preferences

My approach to astrology is an integration of contemporary practices and traditional techniques (specific to Hellenistic astrology), and my interest is in using it to encourage self-cultivation and help you recognize the connections that inform your sense of purpose in life. I aim to be thorough, precise, and informative, but ultimately I’m here to offer you an experience that, if resonant, will continue to make ripples in your life as you navigate your path.

If you should choose to hire me as your astrologer, I look forward to chatting with you!

*Please be aware before scheduling your appointment that consultations are often (though not always) booked weeks in advance, depending on the season. If we have exchanged messages prior to your booking this will be disclosed if it is the case. Thank you for your patience and I look forward to our conversation.

Cosmic Constitution $285: This is a great place to start if you're unfamiliar with your chart! This session centers on a bigger picture of your natal chart. We'll discuss the planetary makeup you received at birth (including the primary archetypes and themes which stand out) as well as talents and obstacles to be mindful as you continue your individual path of growth and development.

Forecast Check in $230: Think of this as your periodic check on the weather. Sometimes you feel certain aspects of life heading in a general direction, but you wonder what the skies indicate up ahead. During this session we'll discuss current themes being emphasized in your chart and how that aligns with your tangible and abstract experiences, in real life. This is the most common type of consultation I offer and is a good option for affirming or re-framing current events.

The Solar Return $250: Let's talk about your next year of life! The Solar Return (aka your birthday) is a time of celebration and often a time of wonder as we imagine and question, "What's next?". This session focuses on the highs, the lows, and key areas of life activated in the year to come. This is an ideal choice when your birthday is approaching and makes a lovely, meaningful gift to friends or family members who appreciate tuning in with the signs and synchronicity!

*(Please note parents must first see my as a client before I consider consulting their child’s chart as there are ethics involving consent of the child and cultural factors that otherwise make it inappropriate for me to interpret a child’s chart). If I have not seen you as a client previously (and sometimes even if we have consulted in the past before) I may cancel and refund you for this type of consultation. This would be to maintain integrity and ensure harm reduction for all parties involved. Thank you for understanding.
