The Deep Reading

Ninety minutes to read your chart as a whole and explore it together: its core themes, the many characters it holds, and the timing you're moving through, with room for whatever questions come up. It's a good first reading for anyone new to this, and a good one to come back to after a few years.

Forty-five minutes

The Focused Reading

Bring one subject or question and we'll stay with it, through your chart, the cards or the I Ching, and I'll show you the reasoning as we go. If you've read with me before, it's the one to book to pick up where we left off.

Some of the subjects people bring

What Would You Like to Look At?

Every Focused Reading is built around one subject. Turn a card to see what it holds.

The Year AheadI cast a chart for the moment the Sun returns to where it was at your birth, and read the shape of the coming year and where to put your weight.More about it
Love & RelationshipWe can look at your own relationship to love and how it moves in seasons, or read your chart and someone else's together.More about it
Work & VocationWe look at timing, direction, and where the work wants to go next: when to push, and when to wait.More about it
Where to LiveWhere you live shapes how life feels, and your relationship to place is yours alone. Astrocartography shows what each place brings out in you.More about it
Choosing a DateFor a launch, a signing or an announcement, we look at the windows you have and find the strongest one.More about it
The BodyWe read your constitution, vitality and the body's own rhythms. It's a companion to your care, never a diagnosis or a substitute for it.More about it
A Hard PassageThis 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 it
Children & FamiliesI read a child's chart, or a whole family's together, with what I learned teaching at the Austin Waldorf School.More about it
A Tarot ReadingTarot looks at a situation from several angles at once, so it suits a decision with more than one path.More about it
An I Ching ConsultationThe I Ching often gives a sense of direction, or a judgment on a course of action. It suits delicate situations, where how you move matters.More about it

What to expect

How a Session Goes

1

Before We Meet

When you book, tell me anything in particular you'd like to talk about. For Astrology, send your birth date, time and place too, and I'll take a look at your chart beforehand. For Tarot or the I Ching, bring the question.

2

While We Talk

Over Zoom, where you'll see the chart or the cards and hear my reasoning. It's a dialogue: ask questions as they come up, and we'll flesh it out together. To meet in person in Austin or San Antonio, write to me directly.

3

Afterwards

You get the recording, to come back to whenever you like.

In writing

Written Reports

I write the reading out for you: an hour of my writing time, about 1,500 words, on your chart or several charts and any subject you choose. You keep it to come back to.

For a single question, a written question is quicker.

Which reading fits?

Start from Your Question

Most people come at a threshold: a decision, an ending, a move, a birthday, or a feeling they can't yet put into words. Some come simply curious. These are the questions I hear most often, and the reading that usually fits each one. If yours isn't here, write to me and I'll tell you where to start.

A Decision in Front of You

“Should I take the offer, or stay and build what I have?”

The Focused Reading

A Turning Point

“Something is ending. What is beginning, and what is it asking of me?”

The Deep Reading

Patterns That Keep Repeating

“Why do I keep arriving at the same place, in work or in love?”

The Deep Reading

A Relationship That's Changing

“What is this relationship asking of me right now?”

Relationships

A Move, or a Long Trip

“Would I do better in another city, or staying where I am?”

Where to Live

The Year Ahead

“What is this year about, and when should I act?”

The Year Ahead

Work and Timing

“Is this the year to go out on my own? When should I launch?”

Work and Vocation

A Hard Stretch

“Why does this feel so heavy, and when does it ease?”

A Hard Passage

A Delicate Situation

“Several people, several loyalties. How do I move without making it worse?”

The I Ching

A Gut Feeling to Check

“I think I already know. Am I reading this right?”

A Written Question

Simple Curiosity

“I've never had a reading. What would mine say?”

What if I don't know my birth time?

Tell me when you book if your birth time is unknown or approximate. I'll explain what we can work with, what that limits, and whether chart rectification makes sense.

Do I have to believe in Astrology?

No. Plenty of people come skeptical, and that's welcome. I'll show you what I'm seeing and why, in plain language, and you can test it against your own life. If it doesn't fit, say so: that's useful too.

Is this prediction?

Not in the fortune-telling sense. The chart and the cards describe the quality and timing of a season. You'll leave with a clearer sense of what you're working with, and you still write the script.

Which should I book first?

For a taste of how I work, send a written question. If you're carrying something about direction or timing, book a Focused Reading on that one subject. For the whole picture at once, book the Deep Reading.

When is it useful to come back?

When something we discussed has changed, when you've made a decision and want to look at what followed, or when a new question needs attention. A birthday can also be a useful time to look at the year ahead. You can book a Focused Reading, take the full ninety minutes, or send one question in writing.

Can I just ask one question?

Yes, in writing, for $25. Send a question.

What is the I Ching?

The I Ching, or Book of Changes, is one of the oldest Chinese classics. It is made of 64 hexagrams, figures of six broken or unbroken lines, each with a judgment and a commentary on its lines. You ask about a situation, cast a hexagram, and read what it says about where things stand and how to move. If your chart is the map, the I Ching works like a compass. See the I Ching consultation.

Can we use more than one?

Yes. We can begin with your chart and turn to the cards or the I Ching if it would help us look more closely at the question. You can also book a session devoted to either one.

Do you meet in person?

Yes, in Austin and San Antonio. The booking calendar is for Zoom, so to meet in person, write to me directly and we'll set a time.

Do I get a recording?

Yes. Every reading is recorded, and the recording is yours to keep and come back to.

What if I need to reschedule?

No problem. Use the link in your confirmation email, or just write to me and we'll find another time.
