The birthchart is the guideline to all the dimensions of the self, and the Personality reading is the starting point for all analysis of the Self. This chart gives you an in-depth analysis of your personality, revealing all your positive and negative potentials, your patterns of behaviour and how you can change them. It shows how you deal with people and with your environment, what major lessons you are dealing with, and is in fact the essential life-long guide to the Self. If you have never had a chart done by any astrologer, this must be your first selection.

Your first reading: the BIRTHCHART

Once a birthchart has been done, you have access to the wide variety of answers your chart can provide. Many people will make a yearly appointment to look at what to expect for the year ahead, but you can also make an appointment at any time to look at specific issues you are interested in. You'll find more information about these in the following pages, and bear in mind that the chart can be helpful with any special issues, questions, plans etc. that you may be interested in but which are not specifically listed. There is more information about this and about making appointments later in this booklet.

INFORMATION FOR CLIENTS • 2017

For those on the spiritual path, the Vedic (Hindu) chart provides an analysis of the karmic path you have taken, and your soul's evolutionary progress on this path. It helps you understand what patterns are created by past lives, what needs to be learned and understood about your karma, and what spiritual practises are required to help ease the results of this karma. Although not for the simply curious, those who seriously work to pursue their true spiritual destiny and are willing to make the necessary sacrifices to achieve it will benefit from this chart. This reading is intensely informative, but can be challenging – be sure you are ready to receive this information as this chart is not about changing anything, but rather about understanding and accepting the karmic challenges we are born with. This reading is only available if you have already had a first reading with me.Note that this reading is specifically about your spiritual life, it will not include info about “soul purpose”, relationships, career and the like.

the SOUL READING

The annual chart is very useful to examine the trends and tendencies of the coming 12 months and help you deal with them. This chart shows the main themes and goals for the next year, what to look out for, what patterns to expect, and what you can do to make the year as easy and constructive as possible. It can also forewarn of important challenges and opportunities as well as help make important decisions. Most clients explore this chart every year or two.

Annual Chart: the YEAR AHEAD

This chart analyses how you react to external stressors, and how these affect your health. It reveals all inherent vulnerabilities, and provides sound guidance as to what therapies to use and when, as well as the best diet and health guide appropriate to your constitution. In this way it assists you in maintaining good health. It can also be used to analyse specific health problems, providing advice on treatment and prognosis. In cases of acute or chronic illnesses, we will be able to use the chart for proper diagnosis, analysis of physical and emotional factors, and treatment recommendations.

HEALTH CHART

As background information, this chart reveals how you deal with relationships and what patterns you fall into. Then, a specific relationship is analysed in detail, showing all areas where and how the partners co-operate or conflict. It provides useful guidelines as to how to make the relationship work as best as possible, and what to expect. Both partners should be present for the appointment and should preferably have had birth chart (personality) readings prior to this appointment.

Couples: the RELATIONSHIP CHART

Young Adults: the CAREER CHART

This service is useful in indicating the natural talents and abilities, the types of working conditions which are best for you, as well as the types of work most suited to you. It can help Grade 9s & school-leavers identify good subject and career choices and understand how their interests and talents could be used in the 'real world'. It also indicates what should be avoided, and for adult clients gives indications of any 'critical' career periods in life. Very useful for school-leavers or people dissatisfied with their work and contemplating a change.

Astrology is good at answering specific, direct questions, be it “should I buy the house?”, “where is my pen?”, "Should I take the settlement or go to court?", "Does he love me?", “Why is this happening to me NOW?” or anything you think of. Appointments are not required. Send an email telling me about the matter at hand and I will respond to tell you whether it is suitable for an email question. If it is, I will help you finalise the question and tell you how to pay, and once payment is made you will receive your answer within about 72 hours.

Urgent Matters by Phone & Email Consultations

Choosing the right time to do something makes all the difference to a successful outcome. This is especially important for weddings, new businesses and operations - or anything else thats important to you. After your initial consultation, you are entitled to phone, write or email such requests. You will not need to make an appointment, but may wait up to a week for an answer. There is a fee for such requests. Best Time charts are also available to people who have not had a consultation.
