Astrology FAQ

A birth chart is a map of where the Sun, Moon and planets were positioned at the exact time and place you were born.

In astrology, these different placements can offer insight into your personality, emotional needs, relationships, strengths and the patterns that may appear throughout your life.

Your reading explores the placements and patterns within your individual birth chart and what they may mean for you.

Depending on which option you choose, this may include your Sun, Moon and Rising signs, other important planetary influences, prominent areas of your life and the connections or tensions within your chart.

Rather than presenting each part as a separate description, I explore how the different influences work together and identify the themes that appear repeatedly.

The Birth Chart Overview is an approximately eight-page reading focused on the strongest influences and central themes within your chart.

The Complete Birth Chart Reading is a 20+ page exploration of your wider chart, including its different areas, influences, connections and recurring patterns.

Both readings are personally interpreted and individually written. The difference is how much of your chart is explored and the level of depth included.

Not at all. Your reading is written in clear, everyday language, with any relevant astrological terms explained as you move through it.

You don’t need to understand planets, signs, houses or birth chart symbols before ordering.

No. Software is used to calculate the positions within your birth chart from the details you provide, but your reading is personally interpreted and written by me.

I explore how the different parts of your chart connect, where they support or challenge one another and which themes appear repeatedly throughout your individual chart.

When ordering, you’ll be asked to provide:

• Your full date of birth
• Your exact time of birth
• The town or city and country where you were born

Please check these details carefully before submitting your order.

Your birth time helps determine your Rising sign and how your chart is arranged. This affects which influences are connected to different areas of your life, including relationships, home, work and personal growth.

Because this can change throughout the day, an inaccurate birth time may affect parts of your interpretation.

Please contact me before ordering and let me know what information you have.

Your birth time affects how your chart is arranged, but I can explain what may still be possible and whether I’ll be able to complete a suitable reading for you.

Please contact me as soon as possible if you realise that any of the details you submitted are incorrect.

I can update them if I haven’t started interpreting your chart. Once work on your reading has begun, I may not be able to make changes.

A birth chart is divided into twelve areas known as houses. These represent different parts of life, including identity, relationships, home, work and personal growth.

I use the Whole Sign house system, in which each zodiac sign forms one complete house.

You don’t need to understand this system before ordering. Anything relevant to your interpretation will be clearly explained within your reading.

No. My birth chart readings are designed to support self-understanding and reflection rather than predict exact events, dates or outcomes.

Your chart may reveal meaningful tendencies, patterns and areas for personal growth, but it does not determine your choices or the life you create.

No. There are no calls, video appointments or meetings to attend.

Your reading is completed entirely at a distance and delivered privately by email, allowing you to read and reflect on it in your own time.
