The Natal Chart

This is the basic reading of your birth chart, which assesses your strengths, challenges, and life strategies.  Using the nodes, we will discuss the karmic stories presenting themselves in your chart, and explore avenues for the highest expression of your gifts.  All other reading types flow from this: one must begin with an understanding of self. Recommended for a first-time reading. 

Yearly Forecast

Timing is everything. In tracking the planets' transits through your natal chart, we are able to look at what issues and themes are heading your way. It's akin to a "weather forecast" for your life:  it won't predict the external events, but can shed light on the surrounding conditions and their duration. This is an excellent tool for planning job changes, relocations, and important actions.

The Solar Return

This popular birthday reading is designed to forecast themes for the period of one year: from this birthday to the next. This reading can help you determine areas of focus for a more efficient year. The Solar Return is a great birthday gift, to yourself or to another.

Couples’ Readings

This reading and gives practical solutions for working together more harmoniously in partnership.  This is not a diagnostic of compatibility, but is rather a means to assessing areas of strength and areas of potential difficulty, using both synastry and the composite chart.  Every partnership has its unique alchemy -- discover how to bring yours to its most positive manifestation.

Note:  It is recommended that both parties be present for a couples’ reading.  Please ask me if you want clarification.

Group Readings

This is a great way to receive a sampling of a longer reading, and provide a nice focal point of any gathering. If the host/hostess would like to provide these readings as entertainment for their guests, this is at a rate of $75/hour. There is a maximum of 4 readings per hour, and a minimum of 2. 

30-Minute Special Focus Reading

This shorter session can work in two ways.  If you have a particular question that you want to focus on, such as the timing of a decision or event, a 30-minute reading can work well.  Or, if you would just like a smaller sample of what a natal chart reading can provide, in this shorter time frame we can look at the highlights of your chart.  These readings are offered by phone consultation only.

Parent / Child Synastry Readings

With insight into a child’s birth chart, a parent can gain insight into the most beneficial ways to encourage their child’s gifts.  At the same time, an awareness of the astrological influences at play can offer strategies for dealing with a child’s particular challenges.  The “synastry” is the process of looking at the parent(s)’ charts with the children’s charts, and seeing how they might best work together.  For more information on children’s charts, check out the podcast on this topic.

All readings are conducted either in person or by phone, and are approximately an hour to 75 minutes.  A phone reading includes the option of a CD or MP3 file of the session (see note below*), while an in-person reading gives you a CD recording.
