GENERAL INFORMATION ON CONSULTATIONS

(in person or via my ZOOM meeting room):

Knowing thyself is at the root of freeing yourself from what can feel like fate, since everything that you perceive within your life is merely an extension of the scripts and patterns that exist within you.

Your birth chart is a reflection of your perception of your reality and accounts for the quality of consciousness that exists at all levels of your awareness of your reality, be it relational, emotional, mental, vocational, athletic, sexual, spiritual or familiar.

My role is simply to interpret the deeper meaning within you that drives and directs the way in which your life is emerging, since everything that takes place within your life is an extension of you!

Depending on the length of session you feel drawn to book with me, we may only be able to focus on a couple of areas of your life, but should you choose a longer session time, we will be able to cover a wider range of issues you are experiencing and we can dive more deeply into the scripts and patterns that lie behind the ‘events’ in your life.

Please keep in mind that from an astrological perspective, there is never a Black and White answer, as your chart reveals the deeper reasons that motivate and impel your actions and choices. For example, a common question that people think that there is a simple answer to is that of ‘compatibility’ with another ‘sign’. In short, there is no such thing as compatibility; no such thing as being ‘better’ with certain ‘signs’ over another, and therefore there is no good or bad relationship, even if you have had unkind experiences at the hands of another. What you would explore in a consultation, if the issue of relationship arises, is to better understand what your scripts and patterns are in terms of relating; understand what you therefore bring to a relationship and what another brings to you; understand the timing of what you are moving through and how that is reflected in your life; understand how location/ space impacts your relationship; and this will help you understand ‘why’ someone is in your life! Whether you consider that to be ‘good’ or ‘bad’ depends on factors that lie outside of astrology. So if you are seeking to cover a specific relationship in a very short session, we may not have time to explore other areas of your life. Therefore what you would like to cover with me will ultimately dictate how much time you need with me.

First Time Sessions

I would strongly recommend that we book the longest possible time together, even if you are either a seasoned astrologer or have worked previously with another full time professional.

Please know that in all consultation types and lengths we will explore the quality of time and space that you are currently moving through, whether you are deeply experienced with the astrological language, or whether you are completely new to astrology.

Astrology is merely a reflection of life itself and therefore your chart can be explored as deeply as you feel open to. Remember that a chart does NOT reveal the context of the patterns in your life, after all a chart is merely a figurative map of the solar system as seen from a specific are of the Earth, at a specific time. As such, it says nothing about your gender, genetics, culture, religion, environment, as it informs you on how you perceive those external conditions. We can, therefore, cover so many things, including the patterns and scripts that either support or hinder your:

// Sense of becoming more Whole
// Emotional body and patterns
// Mental body
// Heart Consciousness
// Will and Desire
// Sense of growth and education
// Enemies of your Soul
// Spiritual, or Higher, Self
// Patterning within your relationships
// Sense of career and or vocation
// Patterning around family relationships and/ or children
// Perception of where in the world specific aspects of your soul can find expression
// Issues concerning property, location, fertility, family, relationships, work etc.
// Scripts concerning finances

Central to any session will be an assessment of the quality of time over the coming year to 18 months which will include a discussion on any cyclical patterning as well as a conversation concerning where in the world your psycho-spiritual processing can take place.

How long should I book ?

From experience, for first time clients, I recommend a 90 minute session, which will give us time to explore some of the salient patterns of your life, what is currently moving through your awareness and where in the world you are being attuned to. During this time, we will dive deeply into an analysis of the patterning your soul’s potentiality, though we will predominately focus on the specific aspects of your life that are currently being brought into focus.

However, if you feel drawn to a short time, we will still cover much, but will be limited by time and may not cover as much as you would like. We can consider a series of shorter sessions over time, though my shorter session lengths tend to be taken up by those who work with me on a frequent basis, as specific issues and questions are covered, since those clients have had the time to better understand the psycho-spiritual reasons behind why things are developing.

Preparation ahead of your session

A week ahead of our time together, I will send you an audio preparation email, asking you to reconfirm, given the wait time from booking to your session. If I do not hear back from you before two days in advance of our session, I will have to assume that something has arisen to prevent you from confirming and will offer on your appointment to someone on my cancellation list.

This audio email will contain questions and reflections that serve to guide your focus on the way in which we will work and what to prepare for during our time together. I am used to receiving long, detailed and intimate replies, as the more context we share together, the deeper the session can dive.

If you require any specific dates for any type of activity – launching a business/ getting married/ selling or purchasing property/ going on holiday – please submit that request at least a week in advance so I can do the necessary technical work. I am NOT in a position to answer queries outside of a consultation due to the constraints on my time by my schedule.
