Consultations

• I do not usually do horoscopes for babies under the age of three - but please ask.

• Be assured that all work is confidential. I do not keep copies of your recording, but this can be archived if requested. Recordings are automatically saved until successful download, or for 6 months.

• There is plenty of time for dialogue and spontaneous questions during the session.
• If you would like to offer a reading to someone as a gift, please be sure it would be a welcome gift! Contact me to discuss this if you are in any doubt. A gift card with envelope can be provided. Click here to see it. (Can also be supplied as an E-Card in PDF format.)

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 to if you have also booked a reading with me.

• If someone else has already rectified your chart, providing it 'feels right' to you, we can use that birth-time.

.

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.
• Free phone calls are offered worldwide while I am working from the UK (landlines only, but cell phones in some locations).
• Skype is possible to most locations, and is recommended as a preferred option.
• My SKYPE NAME: melanie.reinhart

  .

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, by phone or Skype.

.

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.
• 'Synastry' is possible between two people in any kind of relationship: parent/child, marraige partners, lovers, business partners, friends, etc.

.

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.
• This option is only available within the context of a reading, not separately.

.

Waiting list and cancellations ...

• The waiting list for 'live' sessions is usually about 3 months, but as cancellations can occur at the most seredipitous times, don't let that put you off contacting me to ask.
• Please check my schedule for availability. Click here for details.
• Let me know if you want to be contacted should an appointment become available at short notice (whether or not you've booked one).

• Priority is always given to established clients, for follow-up work.

.

Beforehand ...

.

• Focusing on your reasons for contacting me and formulating specific 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.
• It can be useful to write down your focus for the reading, with any additional relevant information.
• If there is any information about you and your life that you want me to know beforehand, you are welcome to send it. This is optional.

.

Afterwards ...

.

• General questions can be answered briefly over the phone or by Email, providing in-depth re-focus on your chart is not required.
• Anything else needs a 'formal' follow-up consultation to be booked, by phone or in person (fees as below).
• For many people, one reading is sufficient; others return periodically for a review.
• Click here for a 'Resources' sheet offering suggestions about meditative self-healing processes to support your on-going process.

.

Recordings ...

.

• All readings can be recorded, whether 'live' or by phone (two-way)
