What Is An Astrology Reading

• Birth Chart Analysis: This form of reading (also known as a natal chart) is astrology 101 since it displays the exact location of the planets at the time of your birth. It gives you insight into your personality, strengths, shortcomings, passions, and motivations (for better or worse).
• Transit and Advancement: Do you want to know where you are today in your life and how you’ve grown and matured mentally over the years? Then this is the reading for you. A Keen counselor will go over all of the planetary transits that are currently affecting your life as well as future developments with you.
• Couples Reading: As the name implies, this form of reading aids in the exploration of a couple’s relationship. Your sun (personality), moon (emotion), ascendant/rising (soul) signs, as well as your date of birth and any other corresponding themes between your birth charts, are all included.
• Astro therapy is a means to obtain insight into specific difficulties that affect your relationship so that you may move forwardor noton mutual terms based on recommendations from your astrological charts. A trustworthy and experienced psychic, whatever of the sort of reading you receive, will never make decisions for you or your partner. Only you have the power to determine what lies ahead.

What is an astrology reading?

A Natal Chart Reading is something that most astrologers will provide, but what exactly is it? It’s an interpretation of the exact position of the planets at the time of your birth, and it’ll reveal your Natal Blueprint or Natal Promise. To put it another way, the unique potential you were born with, as well as your talents and some of the potential obstacles you may face.

Because the natal chart can appear in your life in an endless number of ways, a natal chart reading should feel empowering rather than restrictive. The astrologer’s job is to not only illuminate some of these possibilities, but also to help you tune into your own intuition about how to maximize your natal potential.

What can I learn from an astrology reading?

Astrology is a symbolic language. In this coded language, astrological birth charts are maps of a person’s life purpose. The arrangement of planets in the sky at the precise time you were born, from the vantage point of the exact spot you were born, is used to create a chart. For a reason, symbols are abstract. Planetary glyphs and signs, as well as the geometrical angles between planets, are rich with multiple meanings, just as Egyptian hieroglyphics refer to notions far more complicated than a single word could represent.

If you want the astrologer to interpret your chart, you can book an appointment to come into their office or do it over the phone. The astrologer will request your date and location of birth, as well as, ideally, the hour and minute. Even if you don’t know your specific time, you can still get a chart made; it will be less precise, but it will still offer a lot of information. I prefer delivering and receiving readings in person, especially the first time I meet someone, because there are more pathways for intuitive information to flow when we’re face to face. Astrology has an esoteric (hidden) element that combines rote skill with something more mystical. Our chat begins with the numbers on the page and quickly goes into the psycho-spiritual implications of that data as we sit and enjoy a cup of tea together. The chart serves as a channel for psychic information.

Most astrologers will offer you the chart and a tape of the session after your reading.

Astrologers can give you a nonjudgmental assessment of who you are based on your birth chart (which is typically what one starts with). They can see your prospective strengths, problems, and inborn abilities, as well as areas where you get stuck. Your astrologer will explain what the chart reveals about your inner resources and how you can use them. The practitioner who is more spiritually inclined will speak in terms of a soul purpose. The chart contains motifs that imply why each of us incarnated this time. An astrologer can read the greater meaning of whatever is happening to you at the time in a transit or progressions reading. S/he may observe what your Higher Self is attempting to learn in this phase of your life, this month, this week, or even this day, according to the chart. For example, consider what pushes you to change jobs. You might think it’s about money; she might look at your chart and notice an emotional shift that would happen regardless of what you were doing or how much money you were making.

An astrologer might use a chart comparison to discover if your wants are similar to those of your new lover. Astrology excels at identifying a person’s wants, tastes, beliefs, and desires, as well as contrasting them with those of others. Themes underpinning a connection that aren’t immediately apparent are therefore revealed. You have a lot of material to work with when you know where you fundamentally differ from someone and where you are on the same page.

The idea that modern astrology provides forecasts is a frequent myth. In truth, astrologers did centuries ago, and some schools of astrology still do now, particularly in places like India, where the dominant world view is more fatalistic. Most modern astrology in the West, however, is based on psychology rather than divination. Due to the extrasensory part of astrology that transcends geometry, you may receive some highly specific and accurate feedback from an astrologer throughout your reading. Even the astrologer may find it difficult to describe how she comes up with the images she does. She might notice in your chart that you’re on the verge of elimination, and the image of a garage sale may come to her. She may offer it to you as a metaphor, only to discover you have a garage sale arranged for the following week.

Everything in life is a symbol, which is why this happens. Your life had previously chosen the garage sale as a symbol of the elimination theme that was supposed to be portrayed in some form throughout the time period in question. The meaning of the era in question can be seen by the astrologer, but only in thematic form. Your Higher Self decides how to play things out in the best possible way.

Trends, not specifics, can be seen in your chart by an astrologer. She doesn’t need to know how you express your own topics; she sees them in their broadest sense, which is how you should see them. That way, you’ll be able to see the recurring patterns that lay beneath your shifting details. Your astrologer’s images may be rather abstract, especially if this is your first reading. She won’t be able to tell you apart from Adam, so she’ll be looking for broad patterns rather than trying to forecast what shape they’ll take. When an astrologer sees a garage sale image in your chart, he or she has no idea if you’re reducing your company, throwing away your old shoes, or sorting through your inner values. It would depend on what was required to teach you the cosmic lesson in question.

That is, after all, what you actually want to know. Before you rush to fill her in on your backstory, consider that listening to the reality of your chart on this level will help you get more out of your first reading.

The planets themselves have no influence on what you choose to do. They just state why you intend to do it. Knowing why something happens permits us to take a more active role in it.

Your birth chart is a coded map, not a chronological timeline of events. Most astrologers believe that “destiny” exists only in the context of human will. So the wild card in all of this is free will, which becomes more and more free as a person becomes more conscious. Some people may be disappointed to learn that no precise events are forced to occur because celestial bodies form specific angles in the sky. Celestial cycles also don’t force us to comprehend anything; they don’t have agency. They simply proclaim themes that, if studied carefully, can be turned into lessons for us. They also define when those lessons will be taught.

Is it true that the chart tells us who we’re most compatible with? It does to the extent that we attract what we are. Each of us, for example, has our own version of ideal masculinity, as represented by the planet Mars. Marines, cops, and competitive athletes are more likely to be drawn to a chart with a belligerent Mars than a chart with an introverted Mars.

Your chart, on the other hand, does not accurately depict outside reality. It merely describes your own mental condition. A self-aware individual with a fiery Mars may exhibit it as raw courage, and others who embodied that characteristic would be drawn to them.

An astrologer can help you comprehend your inner maleness (and we all have a Mars, regardless of sexual orientation) in terms of its full potential. The purpose of astrology is to reacquaint you with your Mars’ best attributes. This reconnects you with a region of your mind that may have been distant or underutilized. Knowing your Mars improves the chances of you encountering male energy in this heightened state. You might start to attract heroes instead of bullies.

The same can be said for every other planet in your horoscope, which will tend to be reflected back to you in a more imaginative way in other people’s reflections.

Do not consult an astrologer to determine whether you will meet your soul mate this summer. Your Aunt Phyllis could know, but not your astrologer. Only the themes that are being highlighted are visible to an astrologer. A new partner would not be ruled out if he offered to teach them about one of them. Important emotional and psychological lessons are undoubtedly visible in a person’s chart, and as we all know, the cosmos frequently employs relationships to deliver those lessons. However, if a boyfriend came in during such a transit, he would do so as a carrier of that subject rather than to satisfy your image of what a boyfriend should be.

That said, just as your astrologer may predict that the workplace will be a hotspot for you this summer, or that old business with your father will resurface, she may predict that your relationship arena will be active. This indicates that the problem has been resolved. You may find yourself thinking more about romance, meeting someone who personifies it for you, or being engaged in a film, book, or song that depicts it.

So, even if your soul mate isn’t in your horoscope, the desire to discover him can be (and because intention creates reality, this often amounts to the same thing). This desire will be stronger at certain periods than at others, as shown by the graph. Similarly, the changes in your spouse’s personality are not reflected in your birth chart, but your attitude toward them is.

Simply put, your chart has no other persons. However, there are a number of markers of your relationship’s karma and how it’s progressing. For example, an astrologer would detect a pressing need to be free of interpersonal constraints. And it wouldn’t surprise you if that difference in mindset resulted in a change in your marriage, would it?

However, the chart only depicts the inner event. That is something a qualified astrologer can assist you in comprehending and preparing for.

Astrology decodes your life path and pinpoints your current location on it. An astrologer can help you understand the mythic significance underlying unspoken desires and powerful longings, as well as the daily mood and direction shifts that may otherwise appear arbitrary, confused, and embarrassing. She can teach you how these seasons fit into the bigger picture of your life. It’s a way of looking at things that allows you to live life more gracefully.

What do you do to get ready for an astrology reading?

The sun has finally come out in Eugene, Oregon, and it appears that the entire town is out enjoying the warm weather.

Sunshine encourages people to try new things, and people who are more active are more likely to attempt new things.

I’ve noticed a spike in first-time astrology seekers, whether you’re in the Eugene sun or not! I’ve put up a simple guide to help you get the most out of your first (or second, third, or 99th) astrology reading.

1. Tell your astrologer what you know. Astrology is a complicated subject, and most astrologers might spend months delving into the details of a single chart. Your one- or two-hour reading will focus on the aspects of your chart that the astrologer believes are most prominent. If you already have some knowledge of your horoscope (do you know your moon sign or ascendant? If you know something about your north node or signs/planets, it’s a good idea to tell your astrologer so she doesn’t waste time over-explaining.

Likewise, if you’re brand new to astrology, let your astrologer know so she doesn’t under-explain! Some astrologers presume a basic awareness of sun signs, but everyone’s knowledge of the subject varies, so be sure your astrologer is speaking to your present level of comprehension.

2. Make inquiries. Do you have any concerns about a certain aspect of your life (such as your career, relationships, finances, or even the way you clean your house)? Or do you wish you knew how to better motivate yourself to take action, or how to channel your love, creativity, and emotions for good? Do you have any questions about your future plans or why you had such a terrible year last year? Questions like this all have something to do with the chart’s individual parts.

Ask your queries, and your astrologer will know where to spend his or her attention in order to best serve you.

3. Know what you’re talking about. It’s always preferable to have a precise chart! Knowing your natal details, such as the time of birth, the place of birth (a city or town will suffice), and the date of birth, will assist your astrologer in creating an accurate chart.

4. Be curious, but be willing to let go of some things. When you’re inquisitive about astrology, astrologers love it! Please feel free to ask as many questions as you like throughout the session. Your astrologer will be happy to explain the meanings of the various symbols, the system they use, and anything else you’d like to know!

At the same time, astrology is a complicated subject that takes years to master. If the solution to your more technical questions (hasn’t the zodiac shifted?!?) doesn’t stick after a few moments, be prepared to release it. After all, this is your session, and you’ve paid someone to make sure the arithmetic, chart, and interpretation are taken care of for you.

5. Get ready to take action. A good astrologer can help you understand how to harness the forces in your horoscope, but you must take action! Have a talk about how to best activate those energies if there’s a specific strength in the chart that you’d like to tap into or an area where you’d like to see progress. Then get to work!

Whatever you do, make sure you have fun while reading. This is your opportunity to reflect on yourself, explore your soul-psyche, and grow. You can always contact me or leave a comment if you have any questions, criticisms, or reading requests.

What does an astrological reading cost?

What would you place a premium on knowledge? Healing? Do you want to be at ease? Because of this ambiguity, psychics and astrologers’ prices will vary so widely. It’s difficult to convert mental and emotional clarity into a numerical value on a spreadsheet.

Because each psychic charges a per-minute payment, all Keen consumers benefit from price transparency. What factors influence the cost of an astrology consultation?

Time

Rather than selling individual sessions, many professional psychics and astrologers are increasingly selling packages. These types of psychics can charge anything from $100 to $150 per hour, with savings available if you book numerous sessions in advance. For many people seeking advice, that price threshold is prohibitive, which is why at Keen, we commit to a flat per-minute charge.

Keen’s psychic services are perfect for customers who don’t want to make a large financial commitment. You can tell your advisor a budget and keep an eye on the clock whether you want to examine a recent Hinge match or investigate your potential job route. We take the guesswork out of pricing so you can concentrate on getting answers and gaining knowledge from your astrology reading.

To get the most out of your consultation with our various astrologers, plan beforehand and prepare specific questions. Some consumers prefer brief meetings with a few essential takeaways, while others prefer an hour of information to mull over afterwards.

Experience

Our psychics at Keen usually charge between $1.99 and $9.99 per minute. Each psychic determines their fee based on their level of expertise, competence, and reputation. Unless you prefer a longer session, expect to pay $15 to $20 for a typical Keen reading.

Psychics’ fees will rise as they refine their skills, create new techniques, and build a following. They will have acute insights and smooth communication with their clients as a result of the time and money they put into their job.

Type of Reading

A synastry reading may cost more than a regular astrology reading, just as each psychic sets their own charges. For services such as tarot readings and spiritual readings, compare the prices of each counselor. If you have any queries about their pricing structure, talk to one of their advisors!

How often should you consult an astrologer?

Examining your astrology chart is especially beneficial at the start of each year and on your birthday.

We recommend that you create a transit chart for the new year (also called a “natal plus transits” chart). Because the interpretation process can be complicated, you may need the help of a professional astrologer. In this situation, you begin with your own natal (birth) chart and compare it to the transiting (moving) planets, which are the planets’ present locations in the sky.

The inner wheel (with blue planetary symbols) in the picture below represents our birth chart, which is a static map that never changes. The outer wheel’s orange planetary symbols reflect the planets that are transiting (moving) on January 1, 2019. The two charts would be compared and contrasted by a qualified astrologer. When a transiting (orange) planet collides with one of the natal (blue) planets, a specific energy is activated, which can be beneficial or problematic. You can plan ahead now that you know this.

What are the different sorts of astrology readings?

A natal reading can be done in a variety of ways, including (but not limited to) the following:

• Modern (or psychological) Astrology is a branch of astrology that focuses on the present.
• “Western Astrology in Its Traditional Form” (Hellenistic, Medieval etc.)
• Evolutionary Astrology is a branch of astrology that focuses on the
• Horary Astrology is the science of predicting the future.
• Astrology based on your current location.
• Astrology for Elections.
• Astrology for Relationships.

Should I invest in an astrology consultation?

Astrology is the belief that the locations of the stars and the movement of the planets through the solar system have an impact on human lives, events, and behavior. While you probably already know what your zodiac sign is, studying the important characteristics (as revealed by the zodiac) is essential if you want to improve your self-awareness. You will not only learn how to live your best life, but you will also acquire vital insight into how to live in harmony with others.

To begin, you must first learn how to comprehend astrology: Each of the 12 astrological signs is classified as a quadruplicity (cardinal signs that begin new seasons), mutable (signs that adapt well to change), or fixed sign (one that occurs in the middle of the seasons), as well as a triplicity (a sign associated with one of the four elements: Earth, air, water, or fire). Fire signs are passionate and lively, earth signs are realistic and grounded, air signs are analytical and curious, and water signs are observant and emotional, in a nutshell.

Because there is so much information to process, an astrology reading is always an excellent idea. Trust us when we say that after you learn more about the divine goodness that comes with one, you’ll understand why so many people look to the stars for guidance on life, love, and everything in between.
