Astrological Analysis (aka "a Reading") Explained
Your birth chart is essentially a basic blueprint. The positions of the planets in the sky relative to the location of your birth and relative to one another yield valuable insight into the internal and external opportunities and challenges you will find throughout your life.
Understanding the tendencies and logic built into your chart empowers you to decide whether the prominent patterns are helpful to you or not, as well as highlight areas of ease, so that you can make informed choices.
Some questions this analysis may assist you with are: Are you fully using your gifts? Do you face repetitive challenges and are unsure why? Why are there prominent themes in specific areas of life (e.g. career, romance, health habits, family dynamics)?
If you are new to astrology, we will begin with an orientation to a birth chart so you leave the session empowered to learn more on your own.
While your birth chart is static, it is constantly interacting with the current planetary energies.
In this analysis, we utilize your birth chart plus other techniques based upon the current date and past, present, and future movement of the planets to identify prominent themes and areas of life likely to hold intensity.
We discuss mitigation strategies based upon the strengths and opportunities present during this timeframe.
We can also focus in on a specific planetary return, e.g. Saturn Return, or Solar Return.
Choosing a Date for a Special Event: Do you have a special event, like a party or business launch? We can sort through the different energies at play to best inform you.
This will empower you if you have a specific question or just want a check-in on the current astro energy as it interacts with your chart.
In a Synastry analysis, we look at two birth charts together, to identify where there is synergy and where there is potential for conflict. The tools used for an individual chart analysis are employed.
