Natal Promise & Finding Joy | What is your relationship to bliss?

Gain Insight • Learn Patterns • Find Understanding

In ancient times, astrologers likened the life to a seafaring journey. In your birth chart, the Ascendant (sometimes called the Rising sign or the first house) represents you, your character, body, and constitution. It’s the vessel, the helm of the ship. This place informs how you navigate your voyage. The planets in the first house and the planet that rules it have control of the rudder and reveal what motivates your journey and the direction it takes. Your life’s journey is woven into the twelve houses of your birth chart, which contain all elements of life, dispersed throughout your chart.

I can help you understand your birth chart beyond the apps and general astrology forecasts. My work goes deeper because I look at the overall condition of the planets and houses in your chart and research the unfolding of the current period of time you are in that is personal and unique to you. When you know your chart, you can see the bigger picture — and this has the capacity to empower you, provide greater awareness, and offer compassion.

Astrology is a complex measurement of time — it is a mandala of stories woven through the heavens. Your birth chart is a rhapsody of your life — it is a melody of the past, present, and future. In your astrology consultation, the conversation we share about your birth chart will bring this epic composition to life!

I am on staff with the Nightlight Astrology Reading Clinic. You can find me there until September 30.

Save $85 off my standard rate through the clinic!
Hurry! Ends Sept. 30!

BOOK NOW

Each consultation is prepared in advance, preceded by at least two hours of calculation and research in order to provide a unique, customized, high-quality astrological reading.

Expect a conversation about the patterns of your life, rooted in classic astrological tradition, focused on honest and careful interpretation — not performance. I’ve worked with hundreds of clients from across the world, primarily over Zoom — but also in-person for workshops and locals. My approach is structured but flexible and integrates relevant timing periods and transits, leaning on my studies with esteemed teachers and my own ongoing consultation practice (not AI).

Let it alllll go. End your week decompressing and releasing the physical tension and mental chatter that accumulates throughout a busy week.

Join me for this new 60-minute class offering, starting this Friday, April 10, at 4 pm.

Teaching my 300th class feels like something to humbly acknowledge. It’s been a 20-month journey of faith, devotion, and discipline, along with insecurity, uncertainty, and blunders. It’s a big number, and frankly, I never imagined reachi
