Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to know anything about Astrology before the reading?

No, I will accommodate your level of knowledge in the reading. The reading concerns you and your natal chart is a tool to enable an understanding of this, and to help channel the energy from the cosmos. If you’re a beginner I will make sure the terminology used will be understood. Feel free also to ask any questions as we go.

Do I need to prepare anything before my Astrology reading?

No, you only need to provide your birth date, time and place (city, country) where you were born.

What is a ‘horoscope’?

A ‘horoscope’ (literally ‘hour-pointer’) is a chart which represents the positions of the Sun, Moon, and planets out to Pluto, astrological aspects, and angles (house cusps) at the time of your birth. It is also known as a birth or natal chart. It is a fixed snapshot of the heavens encapsulating the positions of the planets at the moment of your entrance into the world. It is an energetic blueprint of your character and potential in this incarnation.

Why do I offer a sliding scale?

Accessibility, equity and my personal spiritual practice and beliefs:

  • I offer a sliding scale because I believe astrology is such a helpful tool that it should be accessible to everyone.
  • The sliding scale is also my opportunity to give back, cultivate social equity, and care for my community.
  • I want to share resources I have with others, because all of our well-being is connected.
