About me

Hello. I am a certified astrologer and a retired licensed clinical psychologist with 45 years of experience and a published author in psychology, astrology, and numerology. I specialize in spiritual guidance and relationship matters. I also use the tarot, the runes, and numerology to provide the best possible consultation. I prefer to start with the natal chart to ensure an accurate reading. There is no charge for any chart calculations. Life coaching with astrology and the law of attraction is available. 

Readings/consultations are by telephone, Skype, email, and chat as well as in person. Reports, classes, lectures, books, and ebooks are available. Astrological readings are based on your personal birth chart, calculated for your birth date as well as the exact time and location of your birth and current location. Natal horoscope readings, predictive astrology, chart comparisons (synastry/relationships), electional charts, relocation consultations, etc. Karmic readings focus on solving relationship problems, repetitive patterns, and karmic lessons. Tarot and numerology readings are available.
