Although my focus these past 18 years has been on writing my books, and teaching students to use the language of astrology as a guide to self-reflection, I have recently been called upon to do more "readings" for those undergoing crisis and/or transition in their lives. I feel my job here is to give consent to what comes my way, and to make myself available to anyone in need.
If you have an issue that you would like to discuss with me, I am now available for private consultations. I am not interested in doing general readings to satisfy curiosity about astrology or about life, and I do not predict the future. But I do believe that astrology can be helpful for approaching life's challenges with greater awareness, and I am willing to guide you in this use of it.
My particular approach combines professional training in psychological counseling with 40-years of experience working with astrology. I also reference the chakra system in my work (see my book Tracking the Soul With an Astrology of Consciousness for an overview of this approach), as it allows for greater depth of nuance in approaching astrological symbolism. It also provides an opening to a more proactive and intentional embodiment of astrological energies, and goes far beyond merely descriptive astrology in empowering you to live your life more consciously.
In addition, I have trained in medical astrology, and am available to help those suffering with chronic illness to better understand the psychosomatic components of their health issues, and the opportunities for soul growth that they may provide.
Fees
For first time clients, I charge on a sliding scale from $150-$250 for a 90-minute session. Subsequent sessions are $100-$200. I can work by phone or by Skype (Skype preferred). I record each session on a CD, which I send you, along with my preparatory notes when we are done.
Note: If you are considering studying at The Astropoetic School, you might find a consultation to be a valuable way of experiencing my approach.
Let me know if I can help. Joe (Email me here to set up an appointment.)
