How we can use the time

1. Understanding the ins and outs of your natal chart.
2. Examining difficult / mysterious / beneficial natal signatures related to detrimental habits, behavior patterns, repeating cycles, et cetera.
3. Preparing for upcoming astro weather and important transits in order to positively respond and make meaningful use of your precious life.
4. Discussing remediation protocols for difficult natal signatures and-or upcoming astro weather. Please note, remediation often includes new habits and small steps toward lifestyle changes rather than one-time quick fixes.
5. Finding the most opportune times to begin or schedule important matters. This is referred to as an election. Please note that finding elections are separate matters from natal chart readings.

Natal signature?

The natal chart is a map of the sky at the time and place of your birth. Where the planets and fixed stars were at that spacetime, and their relationships to each other within the chart, can speak to aspects of your life beyond the Sun sign, Moon sign, or rising sign et cetera, alone, and be just as significant. I call these signatures.

If you don’t know your birth time

We can still read your chart. Certain factors like determining your rising sign and the houses of your chart will elude us, yet there will still be much to uncover.

The messenger, at your service.

Did you know?

We are alive during an astrological revival, where lost, forgotten, and previously unavailable ancient and medieval texts have, only since the 1980s, been translated into English from Arabic, Latin, and Greek by fellow astrologers and incorporated into practice.

Hence, we are blessed to have a wealth of recovered texts, schemas, and techniques available to us, beyond the psychology-focused interpretations common to New Age’y modern astrology of the 20th century, and many more timing techniques beyond transits. We are able to trace the astrological cultural crossover and historical influences of what today we call ancient Babylon, Egypt, India, Greece and Rome, of medieval Islamicate and European Renaissance works, of the Mexica, and make use of them in our time now. I think it’s all…pretty cool. =)
