Astrology recognises that all of life is interconnected - that humanity is participating in the great patterns of life which are reflected in the movement of the heavenly bodies. This unfolding of life is traced by the weaving of the planets through the heavens such that astrology can map the unfolding of the soul and its individual journey through life.

The astrological birthchart is a symbolic map of the individual reflecting the heavens at the time that you were born. This chart, which shows the pattern of the planets in the heavens at the moment of your birth, is a signature which is unique to each person. The purpose of astrological interpretation is to illuminate and understand the patterns and images contained in this chart which describe your individual nature in its myriad ways – physical, psychological, spiritual - and to consider how these patterns develop in time.

As such, astrology is a valuable tool for enhancing self awareness and gaining insight into your life's journey. Understanding your chart can help to make sense of the patterns of your life, it can raise awareness of the potentials within you and can illuminate the choices available to you. An astrological chart consultation promotes self awareness and can offer guidance and direction but it is not fatalistic. The aim of a consultation is to enable you to make sense of your life experience and to empower you to act from greater self awareness based upon understanding of your unique symbolic map.

Birthchart Interpretation

The consultation

In a birthchart consultation the symbolic patterns contained in your chart are explored to discover how they might seek expression and manifestation in your life. The consultation can thus enable insight and understanding through examination of these individual patterns and themes of your life. Areas of strength and weakness may be highlighted and interpretation can offer insight into how to foster talents or mitigate areas of challenge or difficulty. Specific areas of life, such as work, vocation or relationships, can be examined to give insight or direction. A consultation will also explore how these patterns may develop in the course of time though examination of the astrological cycles, termed transits, which are active at the time of the consultation, or in the recent past and up to a year ahead, and may consider how these are reflected in your life, and how these may be experienced and responded to. Specific prediction of events is not given, however the transit information can provide a framework for guidance.

Your birth data

In order to prepare your chart for the consultation beforehand I need your date, place and time of birth. Your birth time should be as accurate as possible, however, many people have just a rough idea of their time of birth and this can be worked with effectively. If you have no time of birth I will not be able to interpret your chart, however I can recommend an astrological method of obtaining this but cannot provide this service myself – fees for this are around £50.

The consultation lasts for 1¼ hours and can be recorded if you wish. I give you a copy of your chart when we meet.
