Frequently Asked Questions

We will need your :

– Date of Birth (MM/DD/YYYY)

– Time of Birth

– Place of Birth

If you do not have an accurate time of birth, we can still pull a solar chart. It may be slightly less precise but there is still much insight to benefit from.

It is always great to come prepared with specific questions or areas of focus you would like to cover during a consultation. 

Absolutely. Sun sign astrology is popular for a reason! You can still have your chart read, however I will be limited in the amount of timing techniques I can use. I’d recommend no more than the 60-minute session. You might also want to consider having your chart rectified, I can attempt a chart rectification but I by no means claim to be an expert at that technique.

Without a recorded birth time, we have no way of knowing for sure what time you were actually born. However, the rectified chart is the next best option for discovering a birth time that works with your personality and the events in your life. The longer answer is more complicated because the last thing nurses are worried about is recording a birth time during the excitement of childbirth. We often see recorded birth times rounded to the hour or half hour. Whenever I see a “0” at the end of a birth time, I’m always a little suspicious of its accuracy. Recorded birth times such as these can also be fine tuned through rectification. It’s also always possible that the analog clock in the delivery room was off by a few minutes. 

Well in advance to our schedule consultation time & date, I'll check in with you via email & start your chart preparation using astrology techniques specific to your request/needs. 

Consultations are 100% confidential. You can bring a pen and paper if you’d like to take notes or jot down key dates. I use my perspective as an astrologer to guide people on that journey with insight from the symbols, myths & legends that the language of astrology has to offer; looking at the relationships between the planets, houses, signs & aspects of one’s birth chart.

TYPE OF CONSULTATIONS DEPEND ON WHAT CONSULTATION YOU PURCHASE.

A consultation and a reading are the same thing. We can call it whatever you like! Astrologers generally prefer “consultation” over “reading,” because a reading implies that we are doing all of the talking and telling you about yourself. In reality, no one knows *you* better than you, and the more context we have, the more helpful we can be. Consultation implies dialogue, and dialogue is a major component of our session. 

Please review my terms and conditions here.

A chart consultation is not meant to replace therapy or any modern medical practice. I am not a licensed professional.

Astrology is an interpretation of your given planets & energy. In my opinion, a good astrologers act more like life coaches; offering insight, validation & motivation for whatever events are taking place in your life. We are a supportive, non-judgmental, mostly unbiased party that you can trust to approach your struggles, hopes & dreams with compassion & understanding.  

In the end, you have full autonomy & personal choice over how you would like to apply the insight that you gain in a consultation. 

Therapists are licensed professionals who can go so much further than the average astrologer in getting you the help & care that you may need. 

I think that these two practices can be paired beautifully together, however I will always encourage getting professional help for more serious conditions. 

I do not claim to be a psychic or any kind of fortune teller. I will not make a prediction about things like, when you will get married or if you will be promoted, etc. 

I offer my astrological perspective & hope to give you some astrological insights in a nonjudgemental, warm & compassionate way. 

I use mainly use Whole Sign as a default house system. 

Whole Sign: I see this house system as a bird’s eye view, objective interpretation of how the planetary bodies are actually working in your chart. It depicts the path out of the original & often limiting narrative that we have & shows us how to grow and work with our astrological energy in the healthiest way.    

I am a Body & Synastry Astrologer, studying astrology since 2018 & establishing Starwitch Haven in 2020.

With that being said, I am very much still a student of astrology & I am continuing my studies daily. 

Here are a couple of techniques I am comfortable with:

• Natal astrology
• Traditional astrology (Hellenistic) 
• Classical Solar Returns
• Transits
• Whole Sign Houses
• Tropical zodiac
• Progressions
• Profections
• Synastry, compatibility, composite charts
• Mundane astrology
• Planetary Cycles

Please feel free to share any helpful information or feedback, truly appreciated. 

Here's my Leo mercury & my natally conjunct Cancer moon & venus going off on an autobiography rough draft... I've known about astrology since I was a little girl, watching Walter Mercado on my mother's & great grandmother's television screens back in the early 90s. 

To be frank, sun sign astrology has never appealed to me, thus I didn't get interested until I was in my mid 20s. Mainly because I hadn't ever felt like a LEO lol, at least not in the way Walter would depict Leos. 

In 2018 I found this girl on YouTube that went by OJC Astrology and she literally flipped my shit, blew my mind. I couldn't get enough of her, nor the astrology. She got me to pay attention to what I had been ignoring all this time. I want to say that 2019 is the year I decided I wanted to take astrology more seriously. I  started to devour anything in relation to astrology (online & print media, podcasts, books, classes, forums, clubhouse, you name it & I was doing it). 

From 2020-2021, during the height of the pandemic, I thought I could managing doing a podcast on astrology but quickly realized that it was a lot of work for one person & more planning was involved than I had the capacity for. 

In 2021, I started to take astrology & tarot based consultations via Zoom & provide written reports. 2022-2023 I refocused my energy on becoming a better student of astrology & felt tarot was very taxing on my energetic body. I only do tarot readings for myself nowadays. In the previous years I had felt I was struggling to run when I barely knew how to metaphorically walk. I started picking up books that solidified my foundation & began to find my niche in astrology, which I love body astrology & synastry/relationship consultations. 2024 the goal is to refine my craft & give the best consultations to-date. 

Astrologers calculate an image of the sky above and below the horizon for the precise moment you were born. Judging from the precise placements and conditions of the planets and signs, astrologers interpret your unique celestial signature to garner insight into your personality, your potential, and into all areas of life. 

In an astrological consultation, we synthesize these symbols to meet the realities of your life— and to help you gain perspective and confidence moving forward. 

The birth chart refers to a two-dimensional image of the cosmos at the moment of birth. This is our primary tool, and it has taken years of practice to learn to interpret accurately.  The birth chart is also referred to as the natal chart or radix chart. We treat it as a road map, a blueprint or a user guide for your life.

Think of astrology as a language, that astrologers read. Astrology is a fusion of the intellectual and intuited— of material reality and the enigma of the cosmos. 

Your birth chart is your chart forever, but it does evolve its expression over time. A natal chart consultation helps gain understanding about where you are on your journey, where you’ve come from, and where you are headed.

An astrology consultation offers you invaluable insights into your personality, patterns and every area in your life. Astrology also tells us what “time it is” in our lives. As Ecclesiastes describes, there is a season for everything! Astrology will affirm whether it’s a better time for you to buckle down and focus on your career, or whether it’s a good time to uproot and take a risk. We all have free will. 

Astrology will help you strategize so that your efforts and valuable energetic output are more fruitful and well received. If you’ve ever wondered why you are the way that you are, or why things happen in your life differently from others, an astrology consultation can be so affirming— or tell you when the transit is over!
