PERSONAL READINGS / FAQs

People often come for a reading in times of change, or when they are stressed or uncertain, or in need a new perspective - or at any time at all. Consultations last one hour to ninety minutes, which gives enough time to examine pressing issues and a look at at least twelve months ahead. Many people then come back for further updates and clarification.

• Why have a personal reading? A personal study of your horoscope is what astrology is really all about. A chart based on an accurate birthtime is an indespensible guide to your past, present and probable future, revealing your talents, challenges, desires, and life path.
• How much is a personal reading? A personal reading, either in person or via telephone costs sixty pounds, payable by cheque, bank transfer, or PayPal. We have to agree a one-off price in advance for a personal emailed report, to reflect the extra work involved.
• How do I arrange it? Email me to arrange a consultation - this can be done face to face if you are in London, or over the telephone if you supply me with your birth details in advance. Alternatively, I can send you written report via email, if you send me some specific questions (maximum of five, please). Written chart reports obviously involve more heavy lifting, so supplying questions or specific areas of interest enable me to focus on the main issues.
• Does a birth time really make a difference? Absolutely, preferably to within at least 15 or 20 minutes - the time of birth is where the all-important ascendant or 'rising sign' is derived from, which
  
  determines the whole layout of the chart. You can derive 100% more information from a chart based on an accurate timing.
• I want to know about my partner. Astrology can reveal a great deal about love and relationships. Looking at more than one horoscope involves more work, however, and there are also confidentiality issues which mean that I can only look at a partner's chart with the third party's consent. However, your own chart says most of all about the kind of relationship you can expect and the kind of person you attract, and always forms the basis of a 'synastry' (relationship) reading.
  
• What about computer reports? Computer print-outs have become highly sophisticated, but they are not a substitute for a one-to-one dialogue with an experienced astrologer. Computer reports lack the context that a personal reading provides, plus you can't ask them questions.

Last, but not least it is important to realise I may ask questions of you in the course of a reading. Some people hold back, considering that it is up to me to probe their secrets and to show how 'psychic' I am. However, it is far more important to get meaning from the chart and to this end, a dialogue is always better than a monologue. Issues that start off hazy and unfocused become clear and sharp very soon.
