Question 1

What is Astrology?

Accepted Answer

Astrology is an ancient study of the correlation between planetary positions in our solar system, and how those positions affect events on Earth. Astrologers believe that the planetary positions at the exact time of our birth have a direct influence on our psychological make-up, family dynamics, career predispositions, health, love relationships, and general behavior. The purpose of astrology is to educate and empower individuals to learn about their predispositions and patterns so that they may use their free will to grow and prosper from each experience, thus fulfilling their Soul purpose. Astrology has been used for centuries, beginning with ancient cultures and continuing well into our current times.

Question 2

How can astrology help me?

Accepted Answer

Using your birth information (date, exact time, place), I can reveal the layers of your soul. The natal chart — the snapshot of the sky when you were born — shows us why you are here, the adventures and obstacles you are working through this lifetime, and what you need to move through this lifetime with success. I can also look into the future and explain what cycles you are entering and what changes to expect. We can also look at your karmic history, past lives, and reconnect you with your true north of your spiritual compass.

Question 3

Why do you need my birth time?

Accepted Answer

The most accurate astrology readings come to fruition when the client provides not only the date of birth, and city of birth, but also a precise birth time. The time we are born, sets up the stage for our life experiences. The natal chart is divided into 12 Houses, which are spheres of experience. At the time of your birth, a specific zodiac sign, known as the Rising Sign was coming upon the Eastern side of the horizon. This Rising Sign sets up the path of the birth chart, and depending upon the initial sign, the planets will be performing their journey in different areas of Earthly reincarnation. If you do not know your birth time, we can do a general reading which is still very helpful but will not show the fields of experience. This means that we will have to do a bit more investigative work during our session.
It’s important. Let’s be honest. It’s what distinguishes you from all the other people born on the same day as you. A natal chart with an exact birth time is like looking at the fullness of your soul. BUT not everyone has access to their birth time for various reasons. In those cases I can look at something called the solar chart. If you don’t have your exact birth time, we can still work together! However if you can track down the record, it’s worth the effort.
Additionally, my intuition is a major component to what I do, so that is something that I use in the absence of the birth time. Note that if you were born in the US, you can contact the vitals department of the state you were born in and request a new birth certificate. Make sure your request asks for the time.

Question 4

Is a chart reading confidential?

Accepted Answer

YES! Anything and everything that we talk about is 100% confidential. As a professional I take your privacy and your concerns very seriously. There is no judgment on anything that is said, in fact I learn from all my clients. We are all teachers for one another in this lifetime – learning goes both ways.

Question 5

Can I purchase a reading for a friend?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! In fact it’s a great idea for a birthday present or if you know someone that just needs some guidance along their path. Simply email me at info@celestialblueprint.com and I will send you a PayPal invoice for payment. After that I will email you a gift certificate which includes all the details for the recipient. You can email it to them or print it and include it in a card.
Below is an example of the gift certificate that I will email to you.

Question 6

Can I have a relationship reading without the birth time of the other person?

Accepted Answer

The birth time and place sets up the structure of the chart including the Ascendant and Midheaven and exact placement of the Moon. But we can learn a great deal without the birth time if it is not available. We will know the degree and signs of all of the planets and the Sun, and we will have a pretty close idea of the Moon’s placement.  If you don’t have a copy of your birth certificate email me with your place of birth and I can direct you to the appropriate place to contact.
I don’t “rectify” charts per se (rectification is a very iffy business and I prefer not to rely on guesswork wherever possible), but if we know whether the birth took place in the morning, afternoon or at night (for example, just after lunch or after the Tonight Show) we can sometimes approximate a fairly specific birth time.

Question 7

Can you predict the future in an astrological reading?

Accepted Answer

An astrological reading cannot tell you when you will meet your soulmate or win the lottery and much of what happens to us is part of the world that we create for ourselves. There is nothing in the birthchart that ever says you will never get married or are doomed to be a failure in your career. In fact, sometimes the most challenging placements can be found in the charts of the most successful people.
An astrology reading can reveal patterns that may have hindered your relationships or career in the past, and suggest changes you can make that will enable you to be more successful in the future. We can also see what planetary cycles are coming that will facilitate relationships or career success, and which could bring challenges that will require adjustments in order to maneuver more easily.

Question 8

What if I have specific questions I want to ask?

Accepted Answer

I encourage you to give me questions and specific issues in advance so that I can include them in my preparation for your session. This reading is for YOU – I don’t follow any predetermined format. This is why I prefer phone or video sessions, so that we can talk about your needs and how we can make your session the most effective for you.
