Frequently Asked Questions

  • How do you handle rescheduling or cancellations?

    This work requires a specific quality of presence and preparation. Because I dedicate time to your chart and your unique story long before we meet, I don’t offer refunds.

    If you need to reschedule, please use the link in your confirmation email at least 72 hours in advance. If life happens and you’re within that 72-hour window, I’m happy to move your session for a $25 rebooking fee—just email me so we can coordinate. Sessions canceled with less than 72 hours’ notice aren't eligible for rescheduling.

    If you’re running behind on the day of our meeting, reach out as soon as you can. I’ll do what I can to accommodate you, though I do consider the session forfeited if we haven't connected within 10 minutes of our start time. This boundary exists to ensure that when we do arrive, we are both fully present and ready to go deep.

  • Can you tell me what’s coming in my future?

    I’m not a fortune teller. I don’t deal in fixed outcomes because I believe in your agency—you are the architect of your life, not a passenger in it.

    Instead, I look at the shape of your birth chart and the unfolding quality of the current season you’re in. We look at the timing of themes that matter to you, where the pressure is, and where ease is flowing. I help you understand the landscape so you can move through it with intention.

    You’ll get the orientation you need to make your own choices. You hold the pen, and I help you read the terrain.

  • Do you offer in-person readings?

    Yes. I reserve a limited number of spots each week for in-person consultations in Portland. The harmonic resonance amplifies when we’re in the same room, and I love creating that space.

    If you‘re local or know when you will be visiting, secure your spot here. Once you’re on the calendar, I’ll send over all the details.

  • What will I learn about myself in a reading?

    I don’t want to tell you who you are—I want to help you see the parts of yourself you’ve been hiding.

    Astrology is a language, and your birth chart is the map containing the shape of your inner landscape. My role is to translate what it says and hold it up against your lived experience. We look at the tensions, the desires, and the hidden strengths that have been waiting for you to claim them.

    The depth of our work is a partnership. The more you’re willing to bring your own curiosity and your own story to the table, the more we can uncover together.

  • Are you psychic?

    I don’t carry that label, but I do have a sharp eye for the patterns that shape your life.

    My work is rooted in the rigorous study of traditional astrology and a deep, intuitive trust in the story your chart is telling. I’m a student of life’s invisible architecture—the cosmic archetypes, the divine timing, and the hidden pressures that most people overlook. When I see things clearly, it’s because I’ve learned how to read the terrain.

    I help you synthesize what you already know into a clear, actionable path forward. This kind of magick you’re feeling is the recognition of what’s true.

  • Is this work for me?

    This work is for the woman who has spent years hitting every mark, checking every box, and doing everything "right"—only to realize she is playing a character that isn't her. You’re at the threshold of a new chapter, and you feel the pull toward something more, even if you can’t quite name what it is yet.

    I work best with women in their late 30s through midlife who are ready to answer the call of their desire. If you’re tired of "self-improvement" and ready for the kind of integration that allows your inner reality to match your outer life, we’ll speak the same language.

    I offer a partnership for those ready to peel back the layers and claim their own authority.

  • Who is this work not for?

    My work isn’t for those looking to hand over their power or find a savior to make their decisions for them. I don't operate as an oracle who predicts your future or a professional who can solve your medical, legal, or financial crises.

    If you want someone to tell you exactly who you are, or to convince you of astrology’s validity, we won’t be a match. This space is for those ready to write their own story. If you’re not prepared to engage, be curious, and own your agency, you won’t find what you’re looking for here.

  • Who are your teachers?

    I’ve been shaped by some of the most profound esoteric practitioners and intuitives. My foundation in astrology comes from both rigorous study and the lineages of Portland School of Astrology’s JP Hawthorne, Depth Astrologer Amanda Moreno, and Traditional Astrologer Austin Coppock. My tarot insight is rooted in more than 30 years of practice and deepened through the teachings of Lindsay Mack and Naha Armády.

    Before I moved into this work full-time, I spent over a decade as a business strategist, and my undergraduate degree in psychology informs the way I approach the human experience. I view these studies and my experience as the raw materials I’ve integrated into the Slow Magick method. I’ve taken what I’ve learned and distilled it into a practice that is entirely my own—one that bridges the gap between ancient wisdom and your immediate reality.

  • What house system do you use?

    I use a mix of Whole Sign and quadrant-based houses. I find that different systems illuminate different dimensions of your birth chart, and I choose the lens that offers the most clarity for your specific story and the season you’re in. My goal isn’t to adhere to one rigid rule, but to use whatever tool provides the most accurate and actionable path forward for you.

  • Can I purchase a reading as a gift?

    I only recommend this if your recipient has expressed a direct interest in my work.

    A session with me is a deep, revealing process—not a casual experience. It’s meant for those already at the threshold and ready to look at the truth of their own terrain. If the recipient hasn't had the chance to look over my approach and decide for themselves that they’re ready for this, it’s rarely the right fit.

    If they have, send me a message, and we can coordinate the details.

  • Can I get a reading if I don’t have my birth time?

    Yes, but we’ll need to adjust our focus. Without an exact time, our use of traditional astrological timing techniques is limited. We can, however, use your birth date to explore your core themes, your natural strengths, and the archetypes that color your character.

    If you’re looking for a session anchored in divine timing and specific life cycles, you’ll need your birth time or a professional rectification. If you’re content to use astrology as a mirror for your inner landscape, we have plenty of material to work with.

  • Will you read the chart of someone else for me?

    I don’t read astrological charts for people who aren’t in the room. This work is an invitation to agency, and it’s only effective when the person whose life we’re exploring is present to engage with its truth. I don’t believe in peering into anyone’s architecture without their explicit consent and presence.

    If you’re struggling with a relationship, I can certainly help you look at your own patterns, your needs, and the way you’re showing up in the dynamic. I do offer joint sessions, but those are reserved for clients who have already done the foundational work with me.

  • Can you advise me on pregnancy or health concerns?

    No. I am not a medical practitioner, and I do not practice medical astrology.

    My work is focused on your internal landscape, your growth, and the timing of your life’s themes—not your physical health. If you are seeking guidance in these areas, I recommend working with specialists who are qualified to hold that space.

    I trust Kelsie Hammitt, who integrates astrology with professional training in Traditional Chinese Medicine and acupuncture, or Judith Hill for specific medical astrology inquiries.

  • Do you perform spells or magick for clients?

    I don’t practice magick for you, but I do guide you in crafting the ritual strategy that allows you to work with your own power.

    My approach is about restoring your agency. We use your birth chart as a blueprint to identify your inherent strengths and the timing that supports your goals. From there, we design rituals and ceremonies that align your actions with your intention.

    If you’re looking to work deeper, I offer electional astrology and other bespoke services for returning clients who have already built a foundation with me.

    Keep an eye on my newsletter for upcoming group containers or masterclasses where we develop these strategies together.

  • What is the investment for a session?

    You can find the pricing over on my booking page.

    I’m committed to supporting the depth of this work, so I offer a preferred rate for returning clients. My work compounds over time, and I love watching the landscape unfold for those who choose to partner with me through multiple seasons.

  • Do you offer sliding scale or pro-bono work?

    I don’t offer sliding scale pricing for individual sessions. I do, however, create a wealth of accessible content—like my newsletter and podcast—to support those who aren't ready to invest in a 1:1 container. I occasionally host reading giveaways exclusively for my subscribers, so that’s the best place to stay connected to those opportunities.

    If you are a returning client and find yourself in a period of financial transition, feel free to reach out to me directly. I’m always open to discussing how we can make our continued work together sustainable.

  • Do you read for children?

    No. My work is designed for adults standing at their own crossroads, ready to navigate the complexities of midlife and claim their agency.

    I’m not the right fit for child or adolescent readings. If you’re looking to better understand your child’s nature, I highly recommend Chels Holmes and Gina Piccalo. They have the specific focus and expertise to hold that space for you.

  • What is it like to work with you?

    It’s less of a "reading" and more of a reunification. When we sit down, we unmask parts of you that were hidden away to fit into the overculture.

    My clients often tell me they feel seen for the first time—not just witnessed, but understood in the complexity of who they actually are.

    We cut through the noise of what you "should" be doing to witness the raw truth of what’s actually moving in your life. It’s grounded, it’s precise, and it’s deeply compassionate. You’ll walk away with a depth of understanding that makes sense of your past and gives you the agency to steer your own future.

  • Do you offer mentorship?

    I do. Mentorship is for those who are ready to move beyond the occasional reading and into a deeper, long-term partnership with their own path.

    I work with women who want to integrate astrology and tarot into their lives, not just as tools for insight, but as a framework for living. Whether we focus on the technical craft of the stars or use the cards to navigate the timing of your life, this is for those ready to claim their authority and step into a more vibrant, authentic way of being.

    Because of the depth of this work, I keep my capacity limited. If you feel the pull to descend deeper and you’re ready to commit to this level of engagement, book a session and we’ll go from there.

    If you are already a client, send me a message and let me know why it’s time to begin.

  • Do you offer readings for couples?

    I offer joint sessions exclusively for clients who have already done the foundational work with me individually.

    Because my approach is deeply rooted in personal agency and unmasking your inner landscape, I find it essential for both people to have their own footing before we look at the dynamic between them.

    If you’re looking for a dedicated relationship reading to start, I highly recommend Corina Dross. They have a beautiful way of holding space for the unique alchemy of two people.

  • Can I book a specific date?

    My availability is always up to date on my booking page. If you don’t see a time that works for you, check back—my calendar is a living thing, and new openings shift as my schedule breathes.

    If my books are closed, the waitlist is the best place to be. That’s where I go when I’m ready to open up new space, and my subscribers always get the first look.
