FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
1) Natal Charts + Transits: A) Natal - A snapshot of the heavens at the moment of birth captures an imprint of the Big Picture of the Sky onto You...for Life. Patterns of Energy Flow are revealed. Some of them are helpful; some are not. All can be changed, strengthened or transformed. A Great Chart Reading shows you that you are not your patterns and opens the eyes to all possibilities. B) Transits - where the Planets are transiting in the Sky and how these transiting planets activate your natal planets' energies. The rate is $150.00 for 1 hour. I provide you with your chart and an audio file of me interpreting your chart. For $100.00 extra, you will get "homework" - a list of action tools to use on specific days to catalyze energy that was blocked. 2) Synastry - Relationship Compatibility: Synastry is the art of relationship astrology. It means "together stars" from the Latin synastria. Naturally, it involves looking at the birth charts of two or more people to see how they interact with each other. It is done for families, co-workers, and educational groups. But it is most often cast for romantic couples as three charts: one for each partner and a third, composite chart for the relationship. Transit readings can be added in to show how current astronomical phenomena affects each of the members of the relationship and the relationship, as a whole. The rate is $150.00 for 1 hour. Each additional person beyond 3 people is $25.00 extra for 30 more minutes. (E.g. a Synastry for 4 people is $175.00 for 1&1/2 hours.) For $25.00 a Transit reading is added for an additional 30 minutes for a total of $175.00 for 1&1/2 hours. (4 people are $200.00 for 2 hours; 5 people are $225.00 for 2&1/2 hours, and so on.) I provide you with your charts and an audio file of me interpreting your charts. For $125.00 extra, up to 3 people in the relationship AND the "group" as a whole will get "homework" - a list of action tools to use on specific days to catalyze energy that was blocked. (Each additional person beyond 3 people is $25.00 extra. "Homework for 4 is $150.00; "Homework" for 5 is $175.00, and so on.) 3) Astrocartography - Relocation Charts: Also called Relocation Astrology. Your Relocation Chart changes your Rising Sign depending on where you move. For example: If you're from New York and you had a Cancer Rising, you now have an Aries or Taurus "Relocated" Rising in Los Angeles. Relocation charts are also great for taking a trip to "reset" your chart, or add another layer of distinction to your natal chart. Are you having a hard time meeting the love of your life? Astrocartography can map out how your Venus "love line" sits across The Earth. If your Venus lines are in the middle of the Ocean, you might take a cruise across the Pacific to optimize your opportunities for romance. The same is possible for a great career, or an education, or starting your life over. Astrocartography is a great way to see where you are in your life and where you're going...literally and figuratively. The rate is $75.00 for 1 hour and is used in conjunction with a Natal Chart + Transit Reading. If no Natal Chart + Transit was previously ordered, the rate is $175.00 for 2 hours. I provide you with your Natal, Transit and Relocated charts and an audio file of me interpreting your charts. For $100.00 extra you will get "homework" - a list of action tools to use on specific days to catalyze energy that was blocked. 4) Life Path Reading: Together We observe your Natal Chart AND Progressed Chart (This looks toward where your chart at birth has "progressed.") AND Transits - where the Planets are transiting in the Sky and how these transiting planets activate your natal and progressed planets. This is three readings in one. The rate is $300.00 for 2 hours. We may go over, but that is not extra. I provide you with your charts and an audio file of me interpreting your charts. You will also get "Life Homework" - a list of action tools to catalyze energy that was blocked. 5) Horary Reading: Horary Astrology is the Art of casting a chart "of the hour" to answer a question asked. Patterns present at the time of the asking of the question reveal the way energy is flowing in that moment and clues for navigating the issues raised in that question. This is NOT fortune telling; This is an opportunity to, as the great astrologer Caroline W. Casey says, "Believe Nothing; Entertain the Possibilities." The rate is $50.00 for 30 minutes. I provide you with your chart and an audio file of me interpreting your chart.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
The initial contact establishes the kind of reading the client would like and all pertinent information - Name, Date of Birth, Time of Birth, and Place of Birth - is gathered and entered to compute the chart. Next, the client & I meet via Skype/FaceTime, Phone, or In-Person to discuss the client's chart. This is followed by suggestions to the client to maximize awareness of the chart and activation of desired energies in the chart. There is a question and answer session to address anything the client didn't have answered. At the end of the reading the client is supplied with an electronic recording of the session or a written collection of the major points of the reading.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been casting and interpreting Astrological charts for 22 years. In Los Angeles, I studied the nuts and bolts of Astrology with Gaye Nelson of the Southern California Astrological Network (SCAN) and learned from my mentor, world-renowned Astrologer Caroline W. Casey, about the deeper, hidden meanings in an astrological chart. I have written columns for Conde Naste and for Men's Clothing line MR TURK's fashion blog. My formal education includes a High Honors Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology and Theatre from The University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, What makes my approach stand out from just traditional astrological readings is that I see into the person and help them awaken to their goals.
