About My Readings
If you want to get a feel for how I approach doing an astrology session, I invite you to read this meditation I wrote, on Consulting the Divine: The Practice of Astrology.
A reading is an interactive process, where my comments and observations on the chart can combine with your feedback so that we can really explore how the meaning of the chart is experienced by you in your life. I do not view astrology reading as a primarily psychic process; I try to get myself out of the way and let the chart speak, and use your feedback and input to let it speak directly and personally to you.
What I Need from You
I need your birth date, place, time, and how accurate you think the birth time is. I cannot usefully interpret a chart for a birth time that is not known within at least a half an hour window.
I also need to know your purpose for the session, what questions you want answered. I need to know what you are looking for; that serves as the focus for the reading.
And finally, I really need you to participate in the reading process with me. I offer observations and I ask questions, and the more feedback I get from you, the more useful the reading will be.
The readings are done online using Zoom. I will record the session and send you a copy. I will send you printable copies of any charts or listings I refer to.
To Schedule a Reading
If you would like to schedule a reading please send me an email at, charlie@studentofastrology.com.
I need your birth place and time. I also need to know what time zone you currently reside, and what days and times of day you have open. Other than my astrology work I am retired so my schedule is usually quite flexible.
I always book at least a few days in advance – I need time to compile and prepare the material, organize it and sleep on it.
My fee for the reading is $150 USD, payable after the reading date and time is confirmed and before the reading itself. Please do NOT just send me money before the reading is confirmed. I will send you an email directing you to a page on my site where you can purchase and pay.
I use Zoom for the online reading, and I send you a link on the day of the reading. I always share my screen. We can have our cameras on or off, as you prefer. Some people like that personal quality, and others prefer to be unseen, and I am fine either way.
I always record the reading, and after the reading I send you a link to download your own copy.
