How long is a reading?

A full-length session is an hour, with a 15-minute follow-up at a later time of your choosing. If you would like a shorter reading or readings over time to build a habit, there is also half-hour option. See what fits your needs and budget.

Will I be provided with anything after the reading?

You'll get a copy of your birth chart and a recording of the session.

How often should I have readings?

That depends on how much you want to know! A yearly check-in is helpful so we can reflect on the patterns and progress of the last year, discuss where you are now and brainstorm how you can work with the opportunities of the year ahead. If you want to improve a specific area of your life over time (relationships, parenting, work, finances, health, etc.) you may want more frequent readings to get the benefit of deliberate practice. Or you can go the one-and-done route if you are just curious about your birth chart. It's totally up to you!

Do you sell gift certificates?

Not at this time. If you think someone would like a reading, please refer them to my site. I ask every client to commit to the process individually.

Will you read my child’s chart?

I’m happy to look at the ways your chart interacts with your child’s chart and to explore the cycles you both are experiencing. I love supporting parents. As a parent myself, I feel strongly about children’s rights to privacy and chosen identity, so this is the only way I am comfortable discussing children’s charts—within the parent/child dynamic or the unfolding story of the family.

Do you really believe in astrology?

I don't have a good answer for this one, mostly because I still don't know how to define astrology.

I don't consider it a belief system; I don't consider it a science, either, in that no astrology session can be replicated exactly by another astrologer or even by the same astrologer at a different time. So what is it? For me it's a lot of things. It's a tool for connecting with myself, a higher power, the natural world, or another human being and making sense of the unfolding of life over time. It's a language to describe the human experience, which is at once unique and diverse yet also in many ways shared. It's a spiritual practice of searching and noticing. It's an imaginative process of relating the inner or personal experience and life cycles with the outer, physical world and universal myths and archetypes.

I think that becoming truly good at astrology takes time, study, endless curiosity, and reverence for mystery. The astrologers I admire most approach the work with intelligence, kindness, humility, and integrity, combining what they've learned with what they see in the moment in the person before them. In my experience, astrology is helpful and illuminating. But it's important to find an astrologer you trust, who'll explore the questions that matter most to you and honor the work you've already done to understand yourself.
