Readings

I do three basic types of readings - birth chart readings, transit readings, and relationship readings. Each are described below, followed by a section listing the logistical details of scheduling a reading.

Birth Chart Readings

As I describe in My Approach, my focus is helping people to discover and follow their growth path. Your individual birth chart gives us much information about which life choices will lead you to learning and growth, satisfaction and fulfillment, and which lead to frustrating dead ends. Most people have an intuitive sense of this path, but moving forward requires change. We resist letting go of our familiar attachments, fear the new, the unknown, and so we get confused. The chart offers clarity and support. The most consistent piece of feedback I've gotten over the years is that people feel affirmed. Underneath the confusion, they knew what they needed to do, and seeing it on this objective document is affirming and encouraging.

While your growth path is the overall context for our conversation, you provide the specific focus. You tell me those areas of your life for which you seek greater clarity, current and upcoming decisions you are facing, conflicts that you wish to resolve. I listen carefully as you describe yourself and your situation, determining which life approaches seem in harmony with your basic nature as reflected in the chart. Then, of course, it's up to you. When you're ready, you'll make the move, knowing that the universe is in your corner and will provide you with what's necessary.

Transit Readings

With the birth chart as our basis, we can then look at where the planets currently are and will be in the next year or so. This gives us information as to what areas of your life and your psyche are being energized. We look at supportive energies and opportunities availbale to you, as well as challenges that must be dealt with. Again the focus is on being true to your archetypal nature, maximizing your personal satisfaction as well as your contribution to our collective well-being.

Relationship Readings

We can also look at how your birth chart relates to that of another person. Here we can gain much insight into the patterns of your interactions - the basis of the connection, the ways in which you meet each other's needs, and the ways you tend to clash. The assumption here is that when we are following our path we have the most to give to others, and when we get into conflicts with others we have reached an obstacle in our path (not the other person!) that must be overcome. Awareness of what change our deeper nature is calling for moves us forward and tends to restore harmony to the relationship.

Logistics

• I do readings both by phone and in person. To schedule a reading, contact me by email. We will plan a time to talk. I will make up the charts and, if we will be speaking by phone, send them to you. To do this I will need your birth date, your birth time (preferably from a written document), and your birth place.
• An initial reading lasts 90 minutes; any subsequent sessions are one hour.
• The initial reading emphasizes the birth chart, with some coverage of transits.
• Individual readings cost $150.
• Relationship readings - if each individual has had a birth chart reading with me, a relationship reading is also $150; otherwise it costs $200.
• I record our conversation onto a CD and give it to you.
