As Above, So Below
What Is Astrology?
Astrology is a meaning making system that charts and analyzes the movements of the stars and the planets, with the understanding that everything in our universe is connected.
Different cultures, countries, and regions all use different types of Astrology. The Astrology I practice is Western Whole Sign Astrology. This prioritizes the role of the Rising Sign in your chart.
What is my approach?
When I was 12 years old I was gifted The Only Astrology Book You’ll Ever Need by Joanna Martine Woolfold for my birthday, along with a copy of my natal chart. Like the many people coming into this system now, I was entranced by how my sun sign described. It wasn’t until undergrad that I started to learn about how to actually practice and make meaning from Astrology. It was 2011, and I would wait with anticipation for a weekly astrological update from, now famous, Chani Nicholas.
It was her approach that taught me Astrology isn’t just fun party tricks and journaling questions, but could be a framework (a collection of archetypes, theories, and manifestations) with which Justice and Healing could be achieved.
Astrology can be a practice of care. And it is with that mindset, I offer natal chart readings.
What is a Natal Chart?
The Natal Chart is the threshold to the system of Astrology. It is a cosmic mirror, a celestial reflection, of ourselves that can inspire, question, and unearth our sense of self, belonging, and healing.
Natal Chart is, to use Chani’s metaphor, “a snapshot of the sky” on the moment you took your first breath. So to build your natal chart, I would require the time (as exact as possible), location, and date of your birth.
In a Natal Chart Reading, I walk you through key signatures of your chart. And we have a discussion on what resonates and how to use this information for care and grounding.
How do I book a Natal Chart Reading?
A Natal Chart Reading takes 60 Minutes, and I will contact you ahead of time to get your birth information.
