How I work

A Reading Is a Conversation

You don't need to know Astrology, or even believe in it. I'll show you what I'm seeing and explain why it matters, and you bring the context: what's happening in your life, and what you want to know. Most readings start from your birth chart for the larger patterns and the timing, and we turn to the Tarot or the I Ching when a question needs them. The aim is a reading you can check against your own experience, and something you can use when you leave.

AstrologyYour birth chart maps the patterns of your life and the timing you're moving through. I read it with you: the whole picture, the many characters it holds, and where things are heading. I've practiced since 2013.
TarotA doorway to other possibilities. The cards let us play out how a situation could unfold, see it from several sides at once, and find the paths you haven't considered yet.
The I ChingThe ancient Book of Changes gives a sense of direction, or a judgment on a path of action. It's especially good in delicate situations, and for bringing together everything a reading has shown.

What We Can Explore

Most readings begin with one subject. Any of these can be a Focused Reading of its own, or part of a Deep Reading if it touches everything.

A Focused Reading on any subject

$125 · 45 minutes · Zoom, or in person by arrangement

Bring one subject and we'll stay with it. Tell me what it is when you book.

Book

Synastry

Relationships

We read your chart and someone else's together, whether a partner, a parent or a friend, and look at where it sings, where it catches, and what tends to repair it.

Astrocartography

Where to Live

Where you live is one of the strongest levers you have on how life feels, and your relationship to place is yours alone. We look at what each city you're weighing brings forward in you, before you sign the lease.

Medical Astrology

The Body

I read your constitution, vitality and the body's own rhythms, drawing on my Medical Astrology training at Kepler College. It's a companion to your care, never a substitute for it.

More about itBook

Career timing

Work and Vocation

We look at timing, direction, and where the work wants to go next: when to push, when to wait, and what the chart says you're built for.

Difficult transits

A Hard Passage

This is for when you're inside something difficult and want company in it, and some sense of what it's asking and how long it runs.

More about itBook

Also: readings for children and whole families, choosing a date for a launch or a signing (Electional Astrology), working out an unknown birth time (chart rectification), and written reports: a full reading, written out.

In their words

What People Leave With

Feeling Seen

Before any advice, you should recognize yourself in what I describe.

"I left feeling inspired, encouraged, and seen."

Mariah

A Reading You Can Check

It's specific, and I show the reasoning, so you can test it against your own life.

"This is intense, you are so spot on."

Angel

A Clearer Way Forward

You'll see where you are in the larger arc and what the timing favors, and leave with something concrete to work with.

"I can see a more laid out path for myself and I know I can keep going."

A Sanctuary client

Plain Language

You don't need any background, and skeptics are welcome. I'll explain as we go, and you can ask anything.

"...by using comparisons and metaphors, a lot of the stuff I found confusing, Charlie was able to make it more digestible."

Emma

Where to start

Ways to Work with Me

If you're not sure, start with the Deep Reading. If you already know your subject, book a Focused Reading on it above. Or start from your question: the questions people bring most, and the reading that fits each.

A good place to start

The Deep Reading

Ninety unhurried minutes on your whole chart: the planets, the timing, and the questions that matter most to you. We can bring in the cards or the I Ching if they'd help. You don't need to know anything about Astrology or Tarot to book it.

About Charlie

Star Poetry and Cosmic Cartography

Astrology is a language for describing where you are, and a chart is a map for finding your bearings. I call my practice Star Poetry: reading the sky's living symbolism with you, with your own choices at the center. I've read professionally since 2013, with thousands of readings through Sanctuary, and four years at the Goetheanum in Switzerland behind them.

More about Charlie

"You have put sparks in my eyes."

"I've been studying Astrology for 3 years and I am never not blown away."

Follow Along

Most days I post reels, carousels and stories about the sky, the cards and the old ideas behind them, including the series Constellations of Words and Steiner on the Stars. It's the easiest way to get to know how I think before you book.
