The Benefits of Astrology
In the first audio, I shared how I discovered astrology through recognising patterns I couldn’t explain. In the second audio below, you’ll hear about my formal study – how curiosity became commitment, who my significant teachers were, and why simply paying attention is most of the work. (14 mins)
Audio: How I Studied Astrology
What astrology offers you
Before we get to what a consultation offers, it’s worth explaining why astrology has remained central to my work for so long.
I’ve experimented with many self-development tools over the years. My rule of thumb is simple: I’ll explore any approach with an open mind, but it has to deliver concrete benefits – something I can measure and evaluate within my daily life.
Astrology passed that test decisively. It gave me a framework for understanding my own complexity with unusual insight and precision.
My experience is that we’re all more complex than we realise, and much of that complexity remains unconscious. I value any tool that brings unconscious aspects into awareness. Astrology excels at this, as it provides clear language for identifying latent abilities, different personality parts, and inner conflicts between aspects of yourself that may not naturally harmonise.
In my coaching work, I emphasise the importance of integrating rational, emotional, and intuitive intelligence. I came to this approach through being forced to identify these different aspects within myself. Astrology was the principal tool that helped me achieve that awareness.
Accepting complexity and challenges
Astrology has many uses. Yet even focusing solely on your natal chart – your birth horoscope – can be life-changing. I’ve spent years reflecting on my own chart, and how it illuminates my inner dynamics. Even today, I continue discovering new insights into my inner world as I grow and develop. The chart deepens with you.
Beyond self-awareness, astrology offers something equally valuable: self-acceptance. Many clients leave consultations with a profound sense of peace simply because they’ve encountered themselves in their full complexity, often for the first time. When you see your apparent contradictions as part of a larger pattern rather than as flaws, something shifts.
Astrology also clarifies the archetypal energies that shape human experience. You may never have consciously thought about Jupiter and Saturn in your horoscope, but you’ve certainly experienced principles of expansion and limitation, growth and discipline, working in your life. Astrology names these forces and shows how they operate within you.
This framework can help us understand challenging or traumatic periods – not to justify them, but to appreciate how these experiences may have served our growth in ways we couldn’t see at the time.
Why work with me?
I have led an unusual life with many different challenges. Astrology is one of the tools I’ve found most useful for understanding myself and making sense of my experiences. As a consultant astrologer, I offer the depth of insight that comes from studying a subject intensively for many years while specifically watching for how its principles show up in everyday life.
I’m also highly experienced as a teacher and coach. I bring the empathy and understanding gained from guiding numerous clients through processes of development and change. An astrological consultation can serve as an empowering foundation for coaching work, or as a valuable standalone experience.
Your Consultation
The focus
My consultations focus exclusively on your natal chart – the horoscope cast for the moment of your birth. This isn’t about predicting your future or telling you what decisions to make. Instead, it’s about understanding the psychological blueprint you were born with.
Think of your natal chart as a map of your inner complexity: your core motivations, natural abilities, potential challenges, and the themes that may want to unfold across your lifetime. The consultation is our opportunity to explore that map together, bringing unconscious aspects of yourself into awareness.
What we explore
During a consultation, we examine:
- Your core psychological nature and primary motivations
- Latent abilities and underdeveloped potentials
- Inner conflicts between different aspects of your personality
- Archetypal energies at play in your life (e.g. expansion, discipline, transformation, connection)
- Themes and patterns that may be unfolding in your current life stage
I work interactively, inviting your questions and observations throughout. The most powerful consultations happen when you bring specific areas of your life you want to understand more deeply.
What clients typically experience
Many people leave consultations with:
- A profound sense of self-recognition – “This is exactly who I am, I just couldn’t put it into words.”
- Relief at understanding why certain patterns keep appearing in their lives
- Acceptance of parts of themselves they’ve been fighting or hiding
- Clarity about why different aspects of their personality sometimes conflict
- A framework for understanding current challenges as part of a larger developmental arc
The format
Consultations last up to 90 minutes and take place virtually via Google Meet.
Before we meet, I’ll need your birth details: date, exact time (if known), and location. The more precise your birth time, the more accurate the chart. If you don’t know your exact birth time, we can still work with what you have, though some elements will be less specific.
You’ll receive a recording of our session and a copy of your chart to reflect on afterward.
Who this serves
These consultations serve people who sense there’s more to them than they’ve been able to express or understand, and are willing to look honestly at themselves.
It’s a particularly valuable resource if you’re navigating transition, integrating multiple talents, need an alternative perspective, or simply want to increase your self-knowledge.
You may also find this beneficial if you’re curious about mysticism or ancient wisdom traditions but want a psychological approach that feels measurable and ‘real-world’.
Investment
My fee for a consultation is 200 euros. I also offer a reduced fee of 150 euros for clients on lower incomes (by self-assessment).
Next steps
If you’re curious about exploring your chart, reach out for an introductory conversation. We can discuss what you’re hoping to understand, and I’ll explain how astrology might illuminate those questions.
