Natal Chart Analysis
Readings for diving into your personal, fixed astrology.
Intro to Your Chart: Big 3 Synthesis
Exploring your Sun, Moon, Rising, and major aspect pattern.
1 hour
Description:
Get ready to actually meet your natal chart. An introduction to your Sun, Moon, Rising, chart ruler, and major aspects, this reading will allow you to feel truly witnessed by the cosmos: moving you into greater understanding of your self, life, and unique personhood.
We unpack your Big 3 signs via understanding their planetary rulers— where and how they are showing up in your life, and what they are doing in your chart as a whole. Through a synthesized interpretation of these dynamics, you come to a deeper understanding of your most potent, uniquely nuanced energies: your inspirations, joys, motivations, and comforts.
My goal at the end of this session is for you to feel you have received a comprehensive and personalized introduction to your own natal chart that far surpasses the bit-by-bit information available through independent research. With that, hopefully you will feel more at peace in your life, mind and body, more affirmed in your existence– more meaningfully connected to your place in the cosmos.

Beauty and Blessings: Benefics
A veneration of Venus, Jupiter, and other spots of sweetness.
1 hour
Description:
Together, we explore your chart through an uplifting lens of affirmation. Emphasizing the positive, we focus on the gifts, pleasures, and places of ease in the chart.
This reading revolves around Venus and Jupiter. In Hellenistic astrology, these are qualified as benefic planets, and by and large signify goodness in the chart. Of course, their influence is more complicated than that. No planet is exempt from causing discomfort in our lives.
However, this reading is explicitly intended to focus on the good, sweet, and bountiful. We unpack your unique beauty and abundance, amplifying your personal gifts. This begins with the influences of your Venus and Jupiter, and expands into an inclusion of any planets and placements they may interact with. Anything else in the natal chart that looks particularly beautiful, sweet, or empowering is also synthesized into the reading.
My goal at the end of this reading is for you to feel like a shiny present all wrapped up, confident and feeling blessed to move and be in the world. This is good for when you need a nice pick-me-up, and don’t, at this time, want to rake through all the mud of our past discomforts. Additionally, this is great for developing a deeper, more personalized devotional relationship with Venus and/or Jupiter.

Power and Pain: Malefics
An exploration of the lessons of Mars, Saturn, Pluto, Chiron, and sometimes Uranus and Neptune.
1 hour
Description:
Diving into the uncomfortable, we look at the more challenging and often painful planets in our birth chart. This allows us to pave a path toward transmutation of pain; toward greater healing, deeper embodiment, and stronger empowerment.
The planets that tend to cause us the most pain (Mars, Saturn, Pluto, and Chiron) are the very same planets that, in the natal chart, also, when looked at from an outsiders lens, tend to indicate empowerment, leadership, and authority. Some of these planets are traditionally “malefic”: their influence in the world tends to be uncomfortable. It doesn’t mean it’s inherently bad: but it is, generally, difficult.
These planetary bodies have been teaching and forming us since the moment we were all born— and because each chart is unique, the way they have taught you is also deeply individual and personalized. When we understand these planets on a personal level, we also gain insight into the relationship between our hurt and our healing— our power and our pain.
This understanding allows us to take a step in the direction toward a new relationship with the difficult parts of our lives. It facilitates individuation in that your specific experiences are unique, but it cultivates empathy because your hurt is not your own. Every single one of us has malefic influence in our lives. Importantly, this also sets a groundwork to ensure that as we step into our own empowerment, we continuously empower others alongside us, rather than gain power over others in our pursuits.
In this reading, we will talk about those difficulties and process how their stories have unfolded throughout your life. It is tender and emotional work, but absolutely in service of a higher healing good. As we unpack the hurt, we unpack your power: I bolster your positive skills and affirm the inherent goodness existing within your chart. We also make sure to end on this positive note, as I want you to leave feeling seen, witnessed, and more in touch with your path to power.
My goal in this reading is to be your flashlight in the dark; your cheerleader at your game; your faithful steed in combat against the hurt. Affirmation is the word; love is the name of the game. Good aftercare is always recommended after a reading to help you digest the material you’ve learned, but for this one specifically, I recommend planning a chunk of time afterwards to implement your most tender and loving self-care methods (which I can also give personalized suggestions for, if desired).

All Your Light: Complete Chart Analysis
A full voyage around the zodiac at the moment of your birth.
2 hours
Description:
This reading is a synthesized combination of the three other offered natal chart analyses. We unpack all of the planets- Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto— the four angles — and the major dominant aspect patterns existing in the chart.
Starting with the most personal planets and working our way outward, we cover your direction, identity, values, emotions, motives, communications, inspirations, lessons, and relationship to the collective. Also synthesizing the influence of the angles, we get very specific about your personal, home, relational, and public lives– basically, a comprehensive overview of the themes in every realm of your life, from an astrological lens.
As you can spend endless hours unpacking a single natal chart, we cater this reading to your specific learning needs, knowledge base, and processing goals. We also make sure to cover any specific areas of interest or questions that you may have. This reading, like any reading, can be booked multiple times, as I’ll be sure to continuously develop off of the comprehension we have already established.

Transits and returns
Readings to help support your journey through time.
Solar Return
Happy Birthday, Star! A new personal year begins.
1.5 hours
Description:
Happy Birthday, star! You deserve to shine bright—and this reading is just for that. We celebrate and elevate your natal sun — your identity, ego, and central orbit— as well as explore your annual solar return chart: the chart for the precise moment, this year, that the sun returns to the exact zodiacal position it was at during the moment of your birth.
Every year of your life is unique because every year you get a new solar return chart to work with. As you officially begin your next revolution around the sun, your life is imbued with new energies, shifted dynamics, and specific motivations.
Through an exploration of the solar return chart, as well as a synthesis of your natal chart and your house profection year, we uncover the focus and themes present in the upcoming year of your life.
Altogether, you leave with a comprehensive understanding of the annual year you are entering into (or already in), allowing you to move through time with more foresight, self-compassion, peace of mind, and data to logistically plan around. Ensuring you leave feeling celebrated, we end on a bolstering of the sun, discussing skills and recommendations for how to continue brightening and shining your light throughout the year.
Helpful Tips:
While people enjoy scheduling this reading for around the time of your birthday, you can book this year-round. For example, if your birthday is six months away but you don’t know anything about the solar return of your most recent birthday, we can absolutely interpret the solar return chart for the year that you are currently in. This is actually preferable to some, because you have six months of data of how your years has already gone to confirm / compare against the interpretations that I give you.
Your first solar return reading with me must be for either your most recent solar return or for your upcoming solar return. If you desire, we can work outward from there.

Saturn Return
We prepare you for this infamous initiation into adulthood.
2 hours
Description:
Your Saturn return is a deeply unique and personal journey. While you may experience it at the same time as your peers, the lessons of your Saturn return are incredibly unique, and dependent upon the condition of Saturn in your own natal chart.
We explore these themes, as well as look back through your entire Saturn cycle (moments around ages 7, 14, and 21) to establish context and compassion for your current return. Once we have understood the historical job of Saturn in your natal chart, we look at the chart for the moment of your exact Saturn return to assess the energies you’ll be facing and identify supportive tools for your journey. Your initiation into adulthood is sacred and can be proactively worked with— it need not be feared.
By the end of this reading, you will have a deeper understanding of Saturn as an energy both in its own right, and in relationship to yourself. Equipped with your unique skills as well as specific dates to look out for, you can move through your coming-of-age with more confidence, groundedness, and self-assured responsibility.

Retrospective: Processing the Past
The impact that the astrology had on you during a specific time in the past.
1.5 hours
Description:
This is a reflective transit reading for a specific time in the past of your choosing. You give me a time or time frame from your past that you want to understand better, and we will explore astrological impacts on you at that time.
Events shape us. Sometimes they elevate and excite us; sometimes they rattle us to our core and uproot our foundational approach to life. Whatever it is, we all have experienced moments in our life that stay with us through time even as we move forward away from them. This reading is a way to address these moments— to, within a safe space, journey back through time and hold the hand of our past selves.
I don’t necessarily agree with the sentiment of “everything happens for a reason” : but, astrologically speaking— I have found that understanding the natural energies present during such influential moments is incredibly medicinal in reminding the self that no, the harm that has come to us is not our fault— but yes, we may find deep compassion and empowerment in understanding the arc of the context.
This reading is good for working with younger versions of yourself or “inner child work”. This reading can also be booked to review the recent past and catch us up if you want to establish recurring monthly transit/planning readings. By the end, you’ll have a deeper, more loving understanding of your overall story.

Transits: 1 Month
Your personalized horoscope to prepare for the month ahead.
1 hour
Description:
Intended for continuous month-to-month support, we discuss the astrological impact of the upcoming month on your personal natal chart. Prior to our reading, you will receive a personalized document with key dates, times, and helpful tips for working with the astrology, which we will then unpack during our call together. Astrological data includes the solar season, monthly lunations, planetary ingresses, major aspects, and transits to planets in your personal chart. As you are provided with data to integrate into your calendar, we spend our time unpacking and going over said information, making sure you feel comfortable and excited about the tools and skills we have reviewed.
I deeply appreciate working with clients monthly, as it allows us to further develop your astrological comprehension and the efficacy of the work you do. This offering is an alternative to a continuous container where you pay a large lump sum to contractually work with me 1:1 over a course of time. This way, you can be sure the investment is something you enjoy, and you maintain freedom and flexibility to book as often as you want in accordance with your budget. Together, over time, we develop a strong astrological competency, ideally resulting in you, one day, no longer needing to hire a professional astrologer.

partner + FAMILY readings
Readings for fostering connection and understanding in relationships.
Synastry: Partnership Dynamics
A “compatibility” reading comparing two individuals’ natal charts– or, “A year of couple’s therapy in one sitting”.
2.5 hours
Description:
For lovers, friends, siblings, colleagues, and partners of all kinds: this is a ‘compatibility’ reading exploring the dynamics between the two natal charts. Focusing primarily on the personal planets, we discuss each of your emotions, motives, identity, care, and communication styles interact with the others’, as well as contextual tools for how to empathetically navigate areas of possible tension.
The first half of the reading is spent unpacking each chart individually, emphasizing the placements that most strongly interact with the partner chart, but without tying the two together yet. The second half of the reading is spent going over a synthesis of the two charts together— AKA the synastry chart– processing how the dynamics interact. We discuss how these dynamics have played out in real life, and analyze the positive chart points that can help counteract or soothe any difficulties. You are left with a review of specific skills, gifts, and tools to help navigate your partnership going forward, and a confirmation that despite any difficulties, your relationship is still beautiful, special, and unique.

Your Child’s Chart
An analysis of your child’s natal chart for your understanding.
1 hour
Description:
Astrology is an incredibly helpful parenting tool. Having even just a basic understanding of your child’s chart can be incredibly supportive in strengthening the connection between you and your child, as well as bolstering the efficacy of your care for their holistic selves. Understanding your child’s astrology chart helps you perceive them as a separate, unique individual, who has an independent earthly experience and cosmic designation that are distinct from your own.
This reading involves absolutely no life predicting, no planning of your child’s future, and no interpreted determinism. We focus instead on understanding your kiddo’s body, mind, ego, and heart, so that you can take better care of your child by improving their experience of being truly witnessed, tended to, and nurtured.
If you have any questions about my ethical approach to this topic, I am very happy to discuss, so feel free to reach out to me via whatever method of communication you prefer.

You and Your Child
Bolstering your caregiving with love and insight.
1.5 hours
Description:
This is a relationship synastry/compatibility reading for you and your kiddo presented just to you, the parent. Combining “Synastry: Partnership Dynamics” and “Your Child’s Chart”, this approach is catered to care for the specific fact that one person in the relationship is a parent and caretaker to the other, who is a child.
Caretaking is a two way street— and the best caregivers and parents are ones who not only can see their children for who they are, but who also actively reflect on their own attributes to bolster the efficacy of their parenting. We focus here on the relationship between you and your little one: not the outcomes or achievements of your child, but rather, the fostering of the safest and most loving, nourishing, supportive home environment possible.
You leave our session the same way as with the Synastry Reading: reviewing the specific supportive tools and skills to help you implement this knowledge moving forward. Lots of love and affirmation is poured into you as a parent so you leave our session feeling more self-assured, confident, grounded, and reverent in your experience with your family here on earth.
As always, please reach out to me with any questions or concerns you may have regarding this topic.
