So you’re an astrologer. What can you do for me?
Using your birth information (date, exact time, place), I can pull back the layers — the self, the soul, the lessons, and the path you’re taking. Your birth chart — the snapshot of the sky when you were born — is a map. It reveals the terrain of your life, the space in which you will discover over the course of your life. It’s also a house, a space for you to live and grow. It’s a clock, showing what time it is in your life, following the hands and seeing where they’re pointing.
There are many metaphors that we can use to help us understand the power of the birth chart. As an astrologer, the chart helps me to connect to the higher intentions of your soul, what you came into this life to learn, to work on, and ultimately the potential of what you can become.
In a nutshell, if you’ve ever been in a sticky time in your life when you can’t quite get clarity or you feel stuck, I’m your gal. We’ll try to come up with some practical steps, too.
How does your work differentiate from other astrologers?
While I work within the traditional and modern framework of astrology (i.e., predictive work and self discovery), the chart also shows me your soul’s journey and what you’re working on in this lifetime and, possibly, what you’re bringing in from other lifetimes. There are things in the chart that you need to heal, resolve, and shed light on.
Ultimately your birth chart is something that you’re growing and transforming through during your life. We may speak at age 25 and later at age 45. You will undoubtedly have changed while the chart hasn’t. What has changed is your ability to navigate the chart.
This is why I often say Empowering Astrology is astrology + consciousness. How do you bring deeper awareness to every planet and every corner of your chart? How do you master some of the more difficult parts of your astrology? How do you see the bigger picture of what you’re trying to learn in this life?
That said, I also bring my psychic medium work into the client session. Many of the questions I ask I’m guided to ask you in our time together is a way of bringing certain things into your consciousness so that you can see things from a different perspective and have new awareness.
I want to know what’s going to happen to me this year. Can you tell me?
I’m a big picture astrologer, so it’s less about looking at day-to-day astrology. When I sit down with your various charts, I’m looking for major trends. Is this a year of change? Is there a spotlight on career? Relationships? Astrology tells us what time it is in our life and looking at a natal chart is like reading a clock. I also look at the energetic underpinnings of what is going on. But know that astrology can never truly tell us what is going to happen to you. We’re not supposed to know everything.
What type of astrology do you do?
I’m what I call a holistic astrologer. I’m not just looking at your astrology, I’m looking at you, too. What people don’t realize is that your astrology is only 50% of things. You’re the other 50%. Within this is your conscious, your unconscious, your psyche, your fears, your past, and even your past lives (if past lives are something that you believe in). This all acts as a filter to how you experience your astrology. So my work is to approach all of you and to be a guide in your soul’s journey.
What we’re potentially doing together is powerful soul transformation work. Sometimes my approach can feel like a coaching modality that uses a mix of astrology, psychic mediumship, and energy work.
Why “Empowering Astrology”?
Because a fate cemented in squares and oppositions never sat well with me. That’s not to gloss over the very real terror that come with the darkest of Pluto transits — this Scorpio would never be so flippant. Rather I’ve come to realize that growth cannot happen until you look at your natal weaknesses as opportunities and the path for mastery that your soul chose for this life time. That is Empowering Astrology. I can hold your hand, but I can never do the work for you. I only illuminate the path forward and reconnect you with your soul.
How important is it to have an exact birth time?
Let’s be honest, it’s very important. The exact moment that you’re born creates a unique energetic structure that you live in your whole life, a structure that astrologers call the birth chart, a structure not unlike a body. The exact birth time is like looking at the fullness of you. BUT not everyone has access to their birth time for various reasons. If you don’t have your exact birth time, we can still work together! However if you can track down the recorded time, it’s worth the effort.
Note that if you were born in the US, you can contact the vitals department of the state you were born in and request a new birth certificate, which can cost $50 or so dollars. Make sure your request asks for the time. This may mean you have to get the long form birth certificate.
So you’re a psychic medium?
Yes, but I am always going to be an astrologer first. And let me clarify what psychic medium means. Everyone is a medium through our sixth sense. Some of us have tapped into it more. There are many ways to connect to the Other Side (astral plane, akashic plane, and beyond). Traditional psychic mediums connect either to passed on loved ones such as a deceased parent or friend or they can connect to spirits that provide information to them. *
While connecting to passed on loved ones often provides a lot of comfort and support to the living, it’s not something I prefer to do. I can and have. There are instances where a passed on family member has been insistent on connecting to the consultation with a client. Sometimes it can be intrusive.
The reason I don’t prefer to do that sort of work and sometimes have to create a hard boundary is that your loved ones, while well meaning, are not necessarily committed to your soul’s journey and evolution of consciousness.
And that’s where my work comes in. When I’m working with the astrology, I’m using it as a key code of sorts (your birth date, exact time, and place of birth) to access a higher plane of energy. This includes working with your higher guidance — the entities of light committed to your soul’s growth and evolution of consciousness — on the astral plane and connecting to the soul’s information on the level of the akashic plane.
Yes, there’s a higher plane where the Akashic Records are located, which is the great library of the soul and all the souls in existence. At that level, it’s about connecting to the highest path available to you and how to work on yourself using the birth chart. So I need your astrology to give me a leg up, so to speak, to that plane of information.
* If someone is working with spirits, the question is … Who are these spirits? What are they aligned with? Whom are they aligned with? Not everything that is spiritual is for Spirit. Always look at the eyes of the person you are interested in working in. They should be bright, showing the light.
I’m thinking about booking a consultation with you. How do I do that?
Great! Please check out my online system that automates the booking process, powered by Acuity Scheduling. This allows you to select the amount of time you’d like to speak for. For new clients I recommend at least a 90-minute consultation. You may opt for the 60-minute consultation as well. The 30-minute consultation is best reserved for follow ups for getting a second opinion. Still have questions? You can contact me as well as check out client testimonials.
What can I expect from a consultation?
My work is a conversation meant to lead you to a new space as well as new awareness. Having worked with clients for nearly 15 years, I also know how important it is to get to know you, to listen to you, and to listen to how you are living your astrology. With new clients, there’s about a 15-20 minute intake process to assess how you are living in your chart. And then we spend the rest of our time together walking through the chart to highlight its major themes.
The time of your birth reveals what you came to work on, your strengths and challenges. I’m here to help you check in your soul’s journey through this life and others. Sometimes energy work comes up. Sometimes past lives come up. As a psychic medium, your highest guidance is also present in the conversation.
How do you do your consultations? Online? Phone?
All consultations are done via Zoom video conferencing. It’s a free service you can download for desktop or app. You will need a camera on your computer, tablet, or smartphone.
I’ve never used Zoom before.
It’s super easy and it’s free. You can set it up via smartphone or tablet by searching your app store for Zoom. Or you can download for desktop here.
Do you record your consultations?
Yes I do! After our consultation, usually within a few days unless I’m really busy, my assistant will email a link for you to download the mp3 file via Google Drive.
How are payments processed?
Payments are safe and secure and processed via Stripe and PayPal.
Do you have any payment policies?
All consultations are prepaid, which not only ensures a successful appointment but energetically commits you to the work we’ll be doing.
If you’ve purchased a reading or a package, you have 12 months to redeem it.
Readings are non refundable.
Readings are non transferable, as in you can’t buy one for yourself and then give it to a friend.
Do you do gift certificates?
Yes I do! I do 90-minute, 60-minute, and 30-minute gift consultations. It’s important that the person receiving it is 25 years of age or older and someone who would choose astrology for themselves.
Do I need to prepare anything?
It’s helpful to set an intention of what you want our time to be about. Are you looking for healing? Clarity? Release? Set an intention for what feels right for you. If you have specific questions you want answered, email me in advance of the consultation.
Please find a quiet space to call me where you know you’ll be uninterrupted and you can focus on the call. I know we all lead busy lives, but calling me while you’re driving is not only a hazard, but our time together will not be as successful because you won’t be fully present.
I don’t know anything about astrology, but I’m interested in knowing about my chart.
Great! I can walk you through it and help break down themes in a way that is understandable to you. But I’ll probably ask you a lot of questions about what’s going on in your life in addition, using the natal chart as a reference point.
What house system do you use?
I use a combination of Placidus and whole sign astrology. Whole sign gives me structure and Placidus gives me the ridges and complexities that build your life, like an energetic signature. But I primarily read the chart in Placidus.
How often should I talk to an astrologer?
There is no right answer. Trust your intuition. Maybe you need to do some intensive work and so talking frequently is the right solution for you. But if you’re talking to an astrologer often because you’re afraid of making the right decision for yourself, then I would challenge you to take more command of your choices. An ethical astrologer will never tell you what to do.
Where are you located?
I’m in Glenwood, Maryland, USA.
What are your business hours?
I have appointment slots 4 days a week, Tuesday through Friday, at 12 pm, 2:30 pm, and 5 pm ET. I have some 7:30 pm ET appointments on Wednesdays. Upon occasion I have weekend availability.
Do you ever see clients in person?
Not at the moment. Once upon a time people would come to my apartment in Brooklyn. Video conferencing now makes it easier to do it remote.
Do you work with clients outside of the United States?
Yes! And I love connecting with people around the world. So long as you have a good command and comprehension of the English language, have a Zoom account, and the time zone difference isn’t a barrier. I’ve worked with clients in Australia, New Zealand, Canada, England, France, Germany, Switzerland, Netherlands, Japan, Italy, Norway, and Sweden. Note that I’m in the New York City area.
Can you make decisions for me?
Nope. I don’t want that karma. Do you?
Can you make everything better?
I wishlæs herI wish. I know far too well what it feels like to be in a very difficult place and caught in the dark night of the soul. But that’s your journey and your soul is learning something very vital from it so let’s dig and discover just what. Never forget that you are powerful and that you are an artist for everything in your life. I can show you the different paths to take, but it’s up to you to decide which way to go.
