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.

• Please note that rectification work is only offered if I am also doing a consultation for you.

.

Readings in person ...

.

• Initial 'live' session is approximately 90 minutes.
• Note that shorter sessions are not usually available 'live' in London, but are available by phone.
• Recording provided - either audio cassette or digital (see below)

.

Readings by phone...

• We speak on the phone, at a pre-arranged mutually suitable time.

Absent readings...

.

• A tape or digital recording is made in your absence, if no other possibility works.
• This option is not always available, but do ask.
• I will ask for some information about your and your focus for the reading, in lieu of being able to speak in person.
• Wherever possible, it is preferable to speak in person, or by phone.

.

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 or Email to discuss, so we can create a 'working structure' that suits your specific needs.

Waiting list and cancellations ...

• If you need to cancel an arranged session, 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. This is optional.

.

Afterwards ...
