Frequently Asked Questions
What if I do not know my birth time?
To work with you I will ideally need an accurate birth time. The planets are in constant motion so even five minutes can distort the picture somewhat. If you do not have this please get in touch to discuss. If you don't know your exact time of birth it doesn't mean we can't work together, but there will be limits on what we can do! I can work with a solar chart but the best bet is to always do as much as you can to verify your exact birth time as trying to do this by 'rectifying' your chart can be quite time consuming.
Who do you work with?
I embrace all types of people but my ideal clients are self-aware & have a growth mindset. You may or may not have had any previous experience of astrology, but will be interested in knowing more & ultimately working towards being the best version of yourself.
I tend to work with clients who are interested in their own spiritual growth & don't approach life with a victim consciousness. My sessions also go quite deep, so if you are looking for a lighter touch or a reading that is for entertainment purposes only then I am probably not the right astrologer for you!
My work is also more about deep diving & less about prediction, so whilst I do forecasting readings I don't guarantee outcomes for you as this as takes away from your own agency & power. You are also the creator of your own reality & can change that anytime you want!
Do you use computer generated interpretations?
Definitely not! All of the preparation work done prior to our session is my own & my insights & interpretations of your birth chart come from years of formal study, constant observation of human behaviour through an astrological lens & my life experiences connecting with a wide & diverse range of people.
I spend on average 2-3 hours preparing prior to our session & my fee reflects this time commitment & the value that I provide. There are many computer generated charts that are accessible nowadays, but in my opinion nothing compares to a 1:1 with an experienced astrologer!
In addition to my astrological knowledge, my heart & soul truly does goes into your session 100%, so I like to think I bring the love as well as the information :) Please note I do not currently offer written reports & feel I can best serve my clients through an in-depth face to face (albeit virtual!) conversation.
What is your approach to Astrology?
I don't assume a fated or predictive approach when looking at your birth chart. Instead I want to empower you with the energies & possibilities within you. Yes, your soul will have planned the broad brushstrokes of your life, but you also have free will to change direction & make your own choices at any time, so in this way I like to think of the chart as your potential & you can rise to meet this whenever you chose to.
There is also nothing in astrology that I consider to be inherently 'good' or 'bad'. I have seen time & time again those with 'difficult' charts with 'bad' aspects go on to lead successful & happy lives & conversely it is entirely possible to lose the game having been dealt a winning hand with an 'easy' chart full of 'good' aspects.
Overall I'd describe my approach as a unique blend of the psychological & the spiritual, which allows me to connect with your soul but also give the human part of you guidance that is both grounded & practical.
Are the sessions confidential?
There is complete confidentiality assured & everything we discuss remains between you & I. I pride myself on both my professional & personal integrity & am also bound by the Faculty of Astrological Studies code of ethics & practice which can be viewed here.
What is your cancellation policy?
I require payment in advance of our session by either bank transfer or Paypal as I will need to work on your chart prior to our meeting.
I know life is sometimes unpredictable & I can therefore usually reschedule your session without charge as long as you give me at least 72 hours notice. I am happy to reschedule up to two times for you, but rescheduling for a third time will incur a £15 fee. Cancelling with no notice or intention of rescheduling incurs the full fee.
