FAQ

  • How do I know Astrology is real? I'm skeptical.

    I completely understand skepticism; there’s a lot of misinformation out there about astrology! My approach is based on patterns, timing, and interpretation rather than vague predictions. Astrology isn’t about fate, it’s about awareness, validation, and choice.

    Many people find astrology resonates because it reflects what they already know deep down but haven’t been able to put into words. It can confirm your experiences, personality patterns, and challenges in a way that helps you make empowered decisions rather than feeling stuck in a script.

    You don’t have to "believe" in astrology for it to be helpful—just like gravity, it works whether we acknowledge it or not. If you're open to seeing how the insights apply to your life, you may be surprised at how validating and practical it can be.

  • I’ve had a reading before, and it didn’t resonate. How will yours be different?

    Not all astrology readings are the same! The quality of a reading depends on the astrologer’s skill, experience, and ability to interpret your chart in a way that applies to your life.

    My readings are different because:
    - I take a deeply personal approach. I don’t just list generic meanings, I apply them directly to your unique experiences and challenges.
    - I focus on empowerment. You won’t leave feeling like your chart is a limitation. Every challenge has a way to be worked with.
    - I specialize in practical astrology. I translate the cosmic into the real, giving you insight you can use in daily life, not just esoteric jargon.
    - I listen. This is a conversation, not a lecture. If something doesn’t resonate, we explore why together rather than forcing an interpretation on you.

    If your past reading felt too vague, disconnected, or negative, I promise you’ll experience something completely different with me.

  • I don’t know my exact birth time. Can I still get a reading?

    Yes! While having an exact birth time is ideal, I can still work with approximate times or even just your birth date and location.

    If you have a general idea (e.g., "morning" or "evening"), we can still get valuable insight into your planetary placements, aspects, and major life themes.

    If you’re completely unsure, I can:
    - Focus on planets that don’t change much throughout the day (like the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars, and outer planets).
    - Use other timing techniques to cross-check significant life events and estimate your rising sign.
    - Work with you to narrow down possibilities using personality traits and past experiences.

    Birth time is helpful, but it’s not a dealbreaker!

  • I don’t know anything about astrology. Will this make sense to me?

    Absolutely! You don’t need to know anything about astrology to get value from a reading.

    I explain everything in plain, easy-to-understand language and tailor my approach based on your experience level. Whether you’re brand new or have been studying astrology for years, my goal is to make sure you feel seen, understood, and empowered by the end of our session.

    - If you’re new, I’ll break things down in a way that’s simple and practical. No overcomplicated jargon, just real-life application.
    - If you’re experienced, we can go deeper into advanced techniques and interpretations that align with your level of understanding.

    No matter where you’re starting from, you’ll walk away with clear insights you can actually use, not just a bunch of symbols and abstract concepts.
