FAQs
How can I book a reading with you? What is the format?
Click the ‘Book a Reading!’ tab at the top of the page! Select the reading you want and an available time slot. I have reading options available.
Signing up for a time slot signifies the time and date I will conduct your reading personally- there will be no direct one-on-one meeting*. You can expect the audio / video files and / or PDFs of your readings within 7-14 days following your time slot.
* = I am open to one-on-one meetings via Zoom, if this is your personal preference.
Are you open to special requests?
Absolutely! If you are interested in a reading that isn’t already listed, I’d recommend sending me an email directly: spicygeminiastrology@gmail.com
I am comfortable reading: natal charts, synastry charts, composite charts, current transits, natal retrograde readings, dominant planet and sign readings, advising on different returns (i.e., Lunar, Venus, Mars; I do not offer full iterations of such readings beyond Solar and Saturn returns), and offering insight into potential career routes and personal fulfillment on a grander scale. I am also comfortable answering specific (or general) questions if you are new in your own practice and want additional guidance.
I am not currently offering: horary readings, mundane readings, or medical readings. I am not currently offering year forecasts. I also do not generally read sidereal charts - I can, but interpretations are exclusively through a modern, western astrological perspective.
What can I expect from an astrological chart reading?
I tailor each of my readings to be mindful of your specific needs and requests. My basic readings are based on time: 30 minute, 60 minute, and 90 minute readings are available.
In all readings you can expect attention to be spent to your particular inquiry, with detail explaining the perspectives I am offering (i.e., linking my content back to specific placements within your chart).
30 minute readings offer general overviews of the dynamics in the chart(s) through an emphasis on inner planets (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus and Mars), your rising sign, house emphases, and your closest planetary aspects.
60 minute readings add more depth and dimension to the 30 minute readings. , I talk in detail about all of your planetary placements, many of the major planetary aspects (up to 3 degrees; I try to tie them in to the patterns that I see throughout the chart!) and any other interesting configuration that is outstanding to me.
90 minute readings are essentially the “Gemini special”. I have so much to say. All the time. And I say it all in an hour and a half! Here I build even more extensive connections between your placements, patterns throughout the chart, and spend a longer time working with individual placements. This is basically my comfort zone.
What information will you need from me?
I require your birth date (mm/dd/yyyy), birth location (town, state / province, country), and birth time, as well as preferred name and pronouns. I will also need an email address to send your reading to.
Can you explain your perspective of astrology in more detail?
I consider myself an intuitive, modern astrologer who specializes in tropical/western charts. In the past few years I’ve woven some traditional astrological practices into my own, including the use of profection years and dodecatemoria.
The intuitive piece is most prominent in my method of analysis: I generally see patterns and themes in charts, and follow them to develop a more cohesive understanding of what the chart has to offer, and listen to the story it is telling.
I typically use the Placidus house system for natal chart readings, Whole sign for synastry, composite charts, and transits, but it’s highly dependent on the chart. I firmly believe that each house system offers nuance, and there is no right or wrong house system to use!
What if I don’t have all of my birth information?
That’s okay, and somewhat typical! In such cases, I recommend sending me an email, and we can have a general consultation before proceeding. I can give you specific information about what I can cover based on the information you’ve included. Regardless, I am able to work with what you are able to offer!
