A birth chart, also known as a natal chart, is a map of the sky when you were born. Think of it as your energetic roadmap - something you came into this life with that describes your nature and tendencies.
As your astrologer, I look at where the major celestial bodies were when you were born and interpret their unique combination of traits and potential that lives within you.During a reading, we’re not talking about the planets perse - but we are talking about you and how your character potential is showing up at this moment in your life, and we use your chart to validate, support, and add perspective to your experience.

This reading focuses not only on your inherent nature, but also on what the year ahead has in store for you! It’s a beautiful way to ground into your own energy - and the energy and opportunities that will be available in the year ahead.
I use a blended technique of looking at upcoming planetary transits, and a separate “Solar Return” chart which gives a layer deeper insight into how you will approach the year energetically and practically.

Absolutely!
Followup readings (transit readings) are intended to support clients as life evolves past our initial reading. We’ll look at the current planetary movements and use them to illuminate larger themes at play and identify actions and reflections to apply to your life.
Returning clients can also deep dive into concepts that we briefly touched on or didn’t get to in your initial birth chart reading.

The more the merrier! Astrologers have different approaches and interpretations of charts.

I’m a graduate of Debra Silverman’s (a respected astrologer’s) applied astrology school. In addition to independent study, I expand my astrology knowledge via 1:1 and group mentorship as well. A lot of my knowledge comes from the readings themselves which I’ve been conducting since 2021.
I practice applied astrology and my style is influenced by evolutionary, psychological, and somatic astrology techniques.
