The Readings

Every reading here starts the same way, with your chart on one side of the desk and a blank page on the other. I write until the chart has said what it came to say. The formats below differ in scope and in the question they put to the sky. All of them arrive as a PDF, written for you alone, within three business days of receiving your birth details. If you want to see what that looks like first, here are real sample pages.

How it works

Choose a reading and order it on Etsy.
Send me your birth details in an Etsy message: date, time and place. A Synastry reading needs both people's details. If the exact time is unknown, write to me first and we will see what is possible.
Your reading arrives within three business days, as a PDF you can keep and print.

The Complete Birth Chart Reading

$96

The full map, read slowly. More than 80 pages on your chart alone, calculated in the Placidus house system, ending in a letter written only for you.

  • Sun, Moon and Ascendant Your core identity, your emotional world, and the version of you the world meets first.
  • All twelve houses Every area of your life, from love and money to the parts of yourself you keep out of view.
  • Planets and key aspects Mercury to Pluto, and how each one shapes the way you love, work, fight and rest.
  • Chiron, the wound and the gift The deepest bruise in the chart, and the place where it can start giving something back.
  • The Shadow, Lilith The pattern that can undo you if you do not see it coming, and which part of the old self is trying to survive.
  • North Node and South Node What your soul came here to learn that nobody around you ever modeled.
  • Patterns you have been running Why the same kind of person keeps finding you, and where that actually comes from.
  • Love and relationships What you actually need in a partner, next to what you may have been settling for.
  • Career and life path The work that fits who you are, and how it differs from the work that only pays the bills.
  • The most important years of your life The turning points the chart has already marked.
  • Your next twelve months The transits ahead, month by month, with their timing, what to prepare for and what to leave behind.
  • A final personal message The page where the astrological language stops and I write to you directly.

In-Depth Solar Return Reading

$77

Once a year the Sun returns to the exact degree it held when you were born, and the chart of that moment sets the tone for the twelve months that follow. This reading takes that chart apart: what the year tends to ask of you, where it supports you, where it is likely to press, and the timing of it all. 40 to 60 pages on the year you are standing in.

In-Depth Synastry Reading

$122

Two charts on the same desk: where they support each other, where they rub, and which older threads run between you. The karmic layer is part of the reading, handled with both feet on the ground. Synastry needs the birth details of both people.
