Services

Please find below a listing of the various services I offer, starting with the most popular.  I can also adapt a reading to your particular questions and concerns; my base-rate is $125 for an hour and $200 for two hours. Believe me when I say that no request is too strange – in my career I have been asked to advise on everything from demon possession to the natal charts of fictional characters.  Please contact me directly about electionals because my price for those is variable, depending on the seriousness of the event and the scope of time I'm being asked to work with (an electional is when an astrologer elects a date and time for an important event like a wedding or business opening).    

*My average wait time for a reading is about three weeks, but I am occasionally booked a few months in advance. If you believe you have an emergency and need a reading immediately, please contact me first to find out if I can accommodate your request. Be prepared to pay a courtesy fee of $100 in addition to the cost of your reading if I bump you to the top of the queue.

After you make your purchase below, I will contact you within 24 hours to set up our appointment.

The Evolution Reading                

$250

I recommend the Evolution reading for all clients, particularly those who are new to astrology.  In this reading, lasting about two hours, I provide you with an interpretation of your natal chart in relationship to your past-life story, which is revealed by the South Node of the Moon.  The Evolution reading puts you in touch with your Soul purpose and life path, and also examines the lessons suggested by the karmic story.  Because it is important to know WHO WE ARE before we can figure out where we're going, this reading does not include transits and progressions to the natal chart.  The Evolution reading has no expiration date.  The Fore and Aft reading (described below) makes a great follow-up to this essential reading, and covers current and future life events.

Due to the length and intensity of the Evolution reading, I do not offer it as a phone or Zoom service. It is given by remote recording or office visit only. Remote recordings include an intake and follow-up call as part of the service.

 

Natal Follow-Up

$100

Although a follow-up call is included in my Evolution natal reading service, I often get requests to do additional hours to process the material raised in that reading. This service is available to recipients of my Evolution reading ONLY. The Natal Follow-Up is geared specifically to those clients who want help untangling thorny personal or karmic issues raised in the Evolution reading, and can be purchased multiple times. One hour, phone/ Zoom only.

 

Fore and Aft

$150

In this reading I discuss the coming year’s transits and progressions (one year dated from the time of the appt.), and may even project forward two years depending on the nature and intensity of events in your chart.  The “aft” is important too, because I will also consider cycles that are just ending and what they signify.  The emphasis is mostly on the slower-moving planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto) and on the slowly-developing progressions of the Sun and Moon.  Because evolutionary astrologers do not make predictions, this future-oriented service asks you to meditate on the planetary energies that are mounting in the coming year, and on the choices you will make when confronted with them.  Reading is one hour and can be done by office visit, audio recording, or phone/ Zoom.

 

 

 

Love Potential                                 

$150

We’re taught from the time we’re little that a romantic partner or spouse will satisfy one hundred percent of our wants and needs in this life.  And yet, true “soul-mates” are the ones who encourage us to evolve by challenging, hurting, and disappointing us.  Thus, the path to romantic love and partnership is not an easy one, yet we are compelled almost against our better judgment to continue to search for the “One” who will complete us.  In the Love Potential reading, I will focus on what your chart says about your aptitude for love and relationship.  Because astrology is a celebration of human diversity, I will not measure your chart against a one-size-fits-all standard of romantic love, but rather describe the type of partner and relationship that best serve the evolution of your Soul.  Whether you’re looking for a blood-oath level of commitment or a more free-wheeling polyamory, astrology is helpful for putting you in touch with all those desires you may repress because they seem transgressive or – worse, too much to hope for.  The Love Potential reading will also help you separate fantasy from reality in your idea of “perfect partnership,” and identify the self-defeating patterns that keep you from finding your bliss. 

 

Career Potential                         

$150

Career path is as individual as your DNA.  For this reading, I consider your life purpose as it is out-lined in the chart, your karmic “homework” as revealed by the Moon’s North Node, and lastly what that old task-master, Saturn, is doing in your chart.  Saturn holds the blueprint for the Great Work you came here to accomplish, and so this reading is especially appropriate for those approaching their first Saturn return (ages 27-30).  Today we tend to think of a career as a job or “the thing we do to make money,” and yet in astrology, income and career are not necessarily connected.  For example, maybe both your Saturn in Cancer and Sun in the 4th house draw you into a career as a professional Mom, while your Libran North Node finds a lot of peace and healing in taking up painting as a hobby; whatever you do to make money is secondary to those character-building pursuits.  Alternately, maybe you’re an Aries with a Gemini Midheaven, and you can’t decide whether to keep your high-powered Wall Street job, or go on tour with your band that just got national air-time.  Your problem might not be money, but rather that classic Gemini one of needing to learn to mediate between the two faces of your career.  This reading puts you in touch with the archetypal energies of the career gods in your natal chart, so that you will know how to maximize your strengths even in the face of changing times and changing needs within yourself.  

 

Alchemy (Couple’s Reading)                     

$350

A couple’s reading can be a lovely way to honor a romantic relationship.  First, I look at the natal charts of the two individuals to understand what each person expects from a love relationship.  Then I perform a technique called synastry, in which I analyze the aspects one chart makes to another and vice versa.  Synastric contacts are fascinating in the way they demonstrate the “chemistry” we experience with a romantic partner, and they can also suggest tools for handling the relationship’s rough spots.  Finally, I will run a composite chart for the couple, which is an amalgam of the two individual charts.  The composite chart is a window into the unique identity of the relationship, and also reveals the karmic history you share with your current partner.  A basic principle of alchemy is that the individual identities of the elements being blended are sacrificed to the new creation, and the same is true of relationships; every relationship you have, whether with a friend, family member, or partner, nurtures different experiences and cultivates inner qualities you may only experience with that one person.  The Alchemy reading can also be applied to family relationships (such as mother-child), business partnerships, and other long-term relationships; my general rule is that romantic partners need to have been in a committed relationship for at least six months before they can reap the benefits of the Alchemy reading.   

 

Ceres Intensive              

$125

Formerly known as the “Food Tour,” this reading is a deep dive into the placement of the planet Ceres in your natal chart. The reading can only be done live or over the phone, and moves from your childhood experiences with food and nurturing into your relationship to self-care as an adult. My sense is that Ceres above all defines the concept of life “rhythm,” and so we look at the rhythms you learned in infancy by considering your mother’s (or primary parent’s) energetic preoccupations. Recipients of this reading experience an awakening in understanding their current relationship to food as a metaphor for their larger life rhythm. This reading is especially recommended for clients with disordered eating and food allergies. Please note, however, that while I sometimes make dietary recommendations and suggest lifestyle changes, the goal of the Ceres reading is to find productive outlets for your natural rhythm beyond the kitchen. Often this reading reveals a need for healing in other daily bodily rhythms such as sleeping, exercise, sexual activity, and elimination. Most Ceres readings last from 45 minutes to 1 hour 15 minutes.

 

Mentorship Hour

$125

I created this service for astrology students who are in the process of learning how to counsel clients. My one caveat is that we DO NOT DISCUSS YOUR OWN NATAL CHART, or that of your spouse or other family members. If you would like to ask questions about your natal chart, please see my other services above. Serious astrology students working with example charts can use this hour to ask questions and try on sample interpretations. Please note that my bias as an astrologer is to foreground the nodal axis; I counsel Evolutionary techniques for interpretation. You may purchase four mentorship hours at the same time at a discount for $400 (please inquire).

 

New Hope for Old Wounds                    

$150

Astrologers are reluctant to admit this, but much of astrology’s wisdom is a result of retrospection, and oftentimes more personal insight is gained from examining the past than from speculating about the future.  For example, predicting to your client that “1999 is going to be a terrible year full of trial and pain” does not perform much of a healing or compassionate service.  On the other hand, exploring the trauma of 1999 through the lens of astrology in the present moment can help the client to resolve old wounds by understanding the archetypal nature of the transits that brought about the traumatic event.  What haunts you?  All of us have suffered hurts and disappointment, but some of us remain wounded by the past and allow it to infect the present.  This service will astrologically reconstruct a time period in your life which continues to cause pain, fear, confusion, or rage.  No judgment is placed on the nature of the wounding event you wish to explore; sometimes mundane disappointments in love or career wound us more deeply than more spectacular and obvious tragedies. 

Cape Perpetua

I can help you to release stuck feelings around old wounds by offering counsel on the karmic lesson behind the astrological event.  Was your wound caused by a Saturn, Uranus, or Pluto event?  These are all likely culprits, but even ethereal Neptune and benefic Jupiter can create some doozies.  Are you haunted by a Chiron complex in your natal chart, or by difficult aspects to your South Node?  Each archetypal pattern calls for a different type of healing method which I will explain. Reading can be done by office visit, audio recording, or over the phone; I may recommend a series of these focused appointments to clients with challenging configurations.
