Astrology as a mirror for self-understanding — never a forecast of fate.
Nervous about seeing an astrologer? Plenty of people are. Lots arrive wondering if I’m going to tell them their future. I won’t! I’ll help you understand yourself instead. Here’s what that looks like in practice.
Understanding, never prediction
I do not read charts to foretell events, and I will never hand you a sealed envelope marked “the future”. Your birth chart is not a script of things to come; it is a map of meaning — a portrait of your temperament, your patterns, your gifts and your growth edges. A reading is less like predicting the weather on a fixed date and more like coming to understand the climate you live in, so that you can meet your life with more clarity and more agency.
You are the author, not the audience
You’re the one living your life, not me and not the planets. A chart shows tendencies. Two people with the same placement can live it completely differently. How are you living yours?
“So much of what he shared resonated and provided affirmation of where I have been and where I might be heading.”
Louisa P., Cosmic Weather Reading
Soul-centred and evolutionary
I practise within the tradition of evolutionary astrology, which reads the birth chart as a map of the soul’s growth over time. So instead of ‘what will happen to me?’, we ask things like: what do I keep repeating? What am I growing into? Where is my life asking me to be more honest? Big questions, and the fun part! Which one’s on your mind?
How I hold a reading
A reading with me is a live, unhurried conversation, usually around ninety minutes, and it is recorded so you never have to scramble to take notes. I calculate and study your chart by hand beforehand, and we build understanding gradually — I will never bury you in jargon. It is dialogic, not a monologue: the most powerful moments almost always come when something I describe meets something you already knew but had never quite put into words. You leave understanding the territory of your own chart, not clutching a list of predictions.
A word on trust
Before astrology, I served as an officer in the Royal Air Force, and I bring the same care, discretion and groundedness to this work. I am completing my formal training in evolutionary astrology (FCEA, due March 2027), and I hold your story in confidence and without judgement. If astrology has ever felt either too woolly or too deterministic for you, my hope is that this way of working offers a third path: rigorous, warm, and always in service of your own understanding.
If that sounds like what you’re after, have a look at the readings I offer or simply get in touch to talk it through.
