Consultations

If your birth time is unknown ....

• If your birth time is uncertain or not known, it is usually still possible to do a reading. This might involve you in some background research, to create a ‘timeline’ for me to work from. Many people find this process, known as 'rectification', to be a rewarding experience in itself. Click here for notes about the kind of information needed, and more detail about the process.

• The fee is £50.00 minimum, more if the rectification required becomes complex or extensive. In this case, I will contact you before proceeding. This is usually not necessary.

• Minor adjustments can be incorporated into general preparation, and there is no extra fee for this.

Readings in person...

• Initial 'live' session is usually 90 minutes, but shorter (60min) also possible. This might suit you if there is just one area of major focus.
• Recording equipment is provided - cassettes and digital
• After making the digital recording, I upload the file on a secure website for later download by you.

Readings by phone...

• We speak by phone, with the option to record the session (free for first reading, £5.00 thereafter) - cassette or digital.
• Free calls are offered within the UK, and also to the following countries: USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, France, Ireland, Spain, Italy, Germany, Holland.
• If you live elsewhere, I may still be able to offer a very reasonable phone rate, which can be added to the cost of the reading. It is often cheaper to call from the UK.
• Although I have a Skype number, I tend not to use it for calls which are recorded, as the sound quality is often inferior to an ordinary phone line recording.

Absent readings...

• A tape or digital recording is made in your absence. This option is not always available, but do ask.
• Where possible, it is preferable to speak in person.

Relationship astrology or 'Synastry'...

• If both people are interested in the astrological perspective on their relationship, it is useful for each person to have an individual reading first. We can schedule a combined reading for later, leaving perhaps a month or so for the information to be absorbed
• It is also possible for one person to attend a session and explore a relationship, providing the other knows and agrees
• Please call to discuss, so we can create a 'working structure' that suits your specific needs

Astro*Cartography ...

• This technique maps your horoscope across the surface of the Earth, showing where each particular planetary energy is strongly focused
• Questions relating to location can be incorporated within a reading at no extra charge
• Printed reports for a specific location are available at an extra fee of £5.00 per place (Note that if you are interested in this option, but do not require a full reading, there will be an additional fee of £20.00 to set up your horoscope which is necessary in order to produce the reports.)

Venues ...

• London NW6 (Kilburn/Jubilee, Brondesbury Park BR) on Wednesdays.
• Full directions sent when appointment is confirmed
• Sessions are sometimes available in other areas (UK, Europe and international) where I might be travelling. See the Upcoming Events section on this site to check if I am working near you.

Waiting list and cancellations...

• At present, wait list is about 4 weeks, including phone work
• Let me know if you want to be contacted should an earlier appointment become available at short notice
• If you need to cancel 48 hours notice is required, or the full fee may be charged

Beforehand...

• Focusing on your reasons for contacting me and formulating specfic questions can help you get the most benefit from your session
• Simply feeling 'it's the right time', and not having specific themes is also fine!
• For phone work, it can be useful to write down your focus for the reading, with any additional relevant information.
• If there is any information you want me to know beforehand, you are welcome to send it.

Afterwards...

• General questions can be answered briefly over the phone, providing in-depth re-focus on your chart is not required.
• Anything else needs a 'formal' consultation to be booked, by phone or in person (fees as below).
• For some people, one reading is sufficient, and others return periodically for a review.
• You are welcome to book a further session whenever you feel it would be useful.
• Click here for a 'Resources' sheet offering suggestions about meditative self-healing processes.

Fees...

• A first reading costs £145.00 (all formats). This reduces to £130.00 if more than one session is booked and paid for initially.
• If you are an existing client, and wish to gift a friend with a reading, the reduced fee of £130.00 applies. Please be sure it is a welcome gift!
• Short initial sessions may be possible, according to need, at £100.00 for one hour. This may be suitable if there is an urgent focus on a particular issue.
• The above fees may be higher if more than one chart is involved in the reading: usually £20.00 per extra chart.
• Follow-up work is £60.00 - £90.00 per hour, depending on how much preparation is required for me, and the nature of the work.
• If follow-up work by phone is recorded by me (any format) an extra £5.00 fee applies.
• Pre-payment may be required for distance work or first-time clients
• Concessions may be available - do please ask.
