An Astrological consultation is a 1 hour 30 minute reading of your birth chart. This is a celestial map of the positions, orientations, and interconnections of the planets in the zodiac signs at the time, date, and place of your birth.
Uniquely personal, a reading reveals the areas of life which you will experience as particularly important, and where you will find rich fulfillment. It reveals your strengths, gifts, challenges, and what brings you contentment, inspiration, joy, and wellbeing.
The issues of our lives – work, family, relationships, money, health, what we love, things we find enchanting or challenging, all have a deeper thread and story behind and beneath which infuses them.
Seeing these underlying threads within your life tapestry can help you understand the context and significance of what’s happening to you and how to best engage with it.
Astrology can offer supportive insights, guidance and navigational tools at crossroads in our lives, when choices, adaptation, or re-orienting might be needed. And alongside being of support during times of challenge, an astrological session can be a way of keeping firmly ‘on track’, recognising the life themes currently at play, and therefore offering a compass for you see things from a wider perspective.
About astrological consultations
A reading divines and describes the archetypes and the ambience of your essential nature. It illuminates the inter-relationships between the different parts of yourself, encoded within this map.
During the reading, I outline characteristics, strengths, life-orientations, gifts, and challenges which were inherent in the unique moment that you were birthed into. This enables you to recognise, remember, and honour the various facets and unique fusion of you.
I also highlight themes of the current time – important ongoing and forthcoming planetary trends for the year ahead, perhaps for the recent past too. This gives you a sense of perspective, timing, focus, and orientation, as you navigate the issues, themes, and realities of the present time.
Practicalities
You will receive a beautiful hand-drawn parchment and ink birth chart if you choose this option. Your hand-drawn birth chart will be mailed to you before the consultation.
After the session, you will receive an MP3 voice recording via e-mail. This enables useful reference which maximises the reading, and much may be yielded, even years later.
Consultations are held in my straw-bale studio at my home on the edge of Buckfastleigh in Devon.
Zoom consultations are available.

What to do next
For an astrological session, please contact me. Only three things are needed in advance: the time, date and place of your birth.
If you are not sure of your birth time, tell me the span of possibility and we’ll work from there. I offer birth time rectification for anyone with an unknown or uncertain birth time. There is a £30 fee for this.
Suggest days and times for a session that would work well for you – maybe two or three options – and then I will respond with confirmation.
Tell me whether you’d like a consultation in person, in Buckfastleigh or via Zoom. I shall reply with directions or a Zoom invite
If you have any further questions about the consultation, please do ask.
And finally…
Why have an astrological consultation?
In the course of our lives, we may experience times of responding primarily to the external world, to its interpretation of who we intrinsically are – or, worse, to what we think the world thinks of us.
That is, we operate as if programmed by our conditioning. It is instilled in us by our culture, parents, early-life teachers and, later on, friends, peer group, bosses, and partners – even our children.
We may forget to listen to our inner song, which is calling us. When we forget why we’re really here, something about life feels ‘off’ – we are off course.
At times such as this, reconnecting with our intrinsic nature, encoded within our birth chart, helps us get back on track. We begin to reassemble ourselves and reorganise the details of our lives more appropriately to fit the true person that we genuinely are.
An astrological consultation will greatly serve you if you are:
At a junction point in your life
Questioning or questing, regarding one or more specific issues
Experiencing urges or callings to change, shift habits or patterns
In need of support and insights about your next moves in life.
In situations like these it can really help to gain some insight and guidance. It helps open up a pathway leading forward from here, toward fulfilling your life direction, honing your gifts, pursuing your dream, or simply getting through the tangles of life into the next chapter. It’s a reigniting of your inner guidance system.
There are times when we need to be reminded of who we really are. You can journey on with a more conscious awareness of the many celestial beings and their characters which inhabit and interweave in the precious and unique inner theatre of you!
An astrological consultation is a deeply supportive navigational tool for anyone who wishes to clarify their self-understanding, or perhaps their understanding of their child, a teenager or partner.
The Usefulness of Astrology
Astrology is an incredibly useful tool for personal growth and development. It offers a code by which we may understand ourselves, others, and life.
Astrological wisdom and understanding helps your self-awareness, personal exploration, and self-acceptance. It can also give an understanding of the time-cycles unfolding and evolving in your life, with their underlying message, meaning, and timing.
Astrology carries the potential for deep healing through transformative insight. Healing the way we perceive things, we can see things differently from a new perspective. Sometimes there is eventually gold to be discovered, hidden beneath the pinions of dark wings.
Astrology is a tool which deeply supports you to ‘grow down’ into your inherent nature, rather than ‘growing up’ into what you think you ought to be. It orients you towards your lodestone, your true north.
