Featured Review
"I wanted to take a moment to share how much I appreciated the birth chart reading you did for me.
Your reading was incredibly precise and thorough. You provided detailed insights into all areas of my life, including romance, family, career, and my personal growth. I was especially impressed by how you incorporated the position of the moon—both at the time of my birth and in its current placement—to offer a deeper perspective on my past experiences and how they continue to shape me.
Your ability to articulate not only what my chart revealed but also how that information translates into practical advice for the future was truly remarkable. You were able to highlight themes and events that resonated strongly with what I have lived through, which made the session feel both validating and enlightening.
Beyond the accuracy of the reading itself, I genuinely appreciated your kindness and warmth. You have a very comforting presence that made it easy to open up and discuss even the more vulnerable aspects of my life. I’ve experienced many types of intuitive guidance, and I can honestly say this was one of the best readings I’ve ever had.
Thank you for sharing your gifts so generously. I would recommend your services without hesitation to anyone seeking clarity and insight."

A little about me
Education and Lineage
My interest in astrology came about in 2023 during a rough time in my life. As difficult as it was, discovering that I was going through challenging transits to my birth chart helped me see the way out, and that realization opened up a newfound spirituality for me. Once I had my birth chart read by a professional astrologer, I became driven to learn more about the practice, so that I could help other people like that astrologer helped me.
As for my training with reading birth charts, I specialize in the philosophy and timing techniques from the ancient Hellenistic tradition, including transits, profection years, zodiacal releasing, rectification (for those who don't know their rising sign or their time of birth), and delineating the natal promise in a birth chart. My continuing studies with the Nightlight Astrology Program have earned me a Year 1 certification, pending Year 2 certification, a current enrollment in Year 3, and a spot in their Horary Class which begins in June of 2026.
Before my practice gets to a point where I can ethically begin charging set prices, I am offering my natal birth chart readings at a donation-based, or sliding-scale model, so that the client pays me whatever they feel the reading was worth after we finish. Times are tough, and as a traveling nomad myself that was uprooted by a natural disaster, I completely understand not being able to spend a large amount of money on something like a birth chart reading. However, an insightful birth chart reading is truly invaluable, and it would be my pleasure to provide that for you at a very affordable cost with your donation.
In addition to being a traveling astrologer, I am also a writer, avid movie enthusiast, and the generating force of movement that allows my dog to sniff all the smells in this country as we travel around. Best wishes and hope to talk to you soon!
