From here, the rhythms and movements of our life, once apparently chaotic and arbitrary, begin to find a more coherent shape and melody of movement.
At this level of understanding we discover deeper meaning and insight that may fortify us to face challenges and illuminate the choices on our path
You’ve had those moments of curiosity and intrigue when you feel your experience reflected through Astrology. Whether it’s gathering information on your Sun, Moon and rising sign, or having a seemingly inexplicable period of turmoil described with meaning through an Astrology report that resonates deeply. To me this is the preciousness of Astrology.
The wonder and magic of Astrology is that it opens us up to our place in the web of life,
Returns us to our rightful place of interconnection and resonance - with the wholeness of nature, the entire multi-verse and all her stars and planets. This paradigm-shift itself liberates us from the limits of our cultural conditioning. And it’s not a one-time thing. I still have my mind blown regularly by the depth and nuance of comprehension Astrology offers me about my Self and my life experiences.
The power of Astrology is it offers us deeper understanding and meaning of ourselves and our life’s journey, and it can open up possibilities we might not realise are available to us.

As well as a sense of wonder and enchantment.

“First, what is an Archetype?
Archetypes can be understood and described in many ways, and in fact much of the history of Western thought from Plato and Aristotle onward has been concerned with this very question. But for our present purposes, we can define an archetype as a universal principle or force that affects--impels, structures, permeates--the human psyche and human behavior on many levels. One can think of them as primordial instincts, as Freud did, or as transcendent first principles as Plato did, or as gods of the psyche as James Hillman does. Archetypes (for example, Venus or Mars) seem to have a transcendent, mythic quality, yet they also have very specific psychological expressions--as in the desire for love and the experience of beauty (Venus), or the impulse toward forceful activity and aggression (Mars). Moreover, archetypes seem to work from both within and without, for they can express themselves as impulses and images from the interior psyche, yet also as events and situations in the external world.”
Archetypal Astrology
Archetypal Astrology sees the movements of the planets as a reflection of the evolution of consciousness. It is not that the planets are causing you to be or do this or that, but that we are all one and the Cosmos is a mirror to Psyche, with the planetary bodies reflecting the fundamental forces at play in this dance of creation, within and without.

“Jung suggested…the underlying unity of the inner and outer worlds. Psyche and cosmos, he reasoned, appear to be two aspects of a cosmic psyche or unus mundus, a single undivided reality.
The unconscious, from this perspective, is not to be conceived as a collective layer of the individual human mind, but as something more like a universal field within which we live, one that is inextricably connected to nature and the external world. And the archetypes, at their deepest level, appear to be dynamic ordering factors of this field, the formative principles of a single universal psyche”
More Awareness Offers More Creative Choice
Key to Archetypal Astrology is its vision of participation and collaboration.
We do not read our birth charts and transits as a victim seeking to know what fate has in store for us. Archetypal Astrology holds a beautiful depth of complexity to each planetary Archetype and combination of archetypes, knowing they can be expressed in an almost infinite array of possibilities. So, we study our birth chart and follow our transits to be empowered by the knowledge available through Astrology, that we can come into more conscious collaboration with these forces and ultimately have a richer, more fulfilling experience of Self and life.
A first Astrology reading is approx. 1.5hours and includes your birthchart and your current personal transits

Birth Chart Reading –
Your Soul blueprint
Your birth chart, the map of the sky at the moment of your birth from your location, is a map of your individual Soul and personal Psyche.
Together we will explore the archetypal expressions you’re living in this lifetime. We can also wonder together how these energies and dynamics are currently being expressed through you, and where there might be potential for growth and more fulfilling expressions of these same dynamic energies.
An Archetypal approach to Astrology recognises that each planet or combination of planets has a vast multitude of potential expression. So, we are not meeting for me to tell you who you are, as if your character and potential is fixed through time and space. We meet for this reading to explore these archetypes together, allowing you to find a more conscious relationship with these energies and discover new potentials for Soul alchemy and expression.
Astrology Readings can be online via zoom
Or in person in Mynd, Bray
Personal Transits -
My personal favourite in terms of magic and wonder
With personal transits, we will look at how the planets in the sky at this moment in time are interacting with your individual birth chart.
Here we get to discover the deeper archetypal meaning and shape of your current life chapter and challenges. We can talk about how you’ve been experiencing these energies in your life and what might be helpful or supportive to you as you navigate these times, ultimately receiving as much of what life is offering you through the current Astrological harmonies at play.
Often periods of change or turmoil are very destabilising from our limited human perspective. However, from an archetypal perspective we can often see this upheaval is actually a calling for us to either awaken to a broader understanding or let go of the control we’re clinging to so that we can embody more true power.
The wonderful thing about a sense of understanding is it can allow us to let go and trust what is happening so that we no longer need to struggle against the current of change.
If you are someone who is already on a path of inner work or spiritual adventure, this level of personal Cosmic insight will bring a beautiful and rich dimension to your exploration.
There is a never-ending amount to explore in Astrology and an initial reading is always full of information and illumination. You will likely find this reading opens a portal of awareness for you that will continue to reverberate and cast light for some time afterward. There may even be a process of insight and change catalysed by these new understandings and connections received in this reading.
Some clients also wish to book further sessions to dive more deeply into one aspect of their chart or area of their life. This time can also be used to look back at our historical experiences of transits throughout our life to gain a fuller understanding of the story being told through the cycles.
Some like to return for a reading at different intervals, to deepen into their understanding of their birth chart or to look at what transits they’re moving through at a different time in their life.
For further personal transit readings every 6 months – 1 year is a good frequency
Further Readings are 1hr. Exchange is €111-135*
*Only available for existing clients who have received an initial Astrology reading
