Conversations with the Gods
What do they have to say?
Ancient philosophers believed the Earth sat in the centre of an ordered system where seven stars wandered between a plethora of fixed stars and the Earth. These seven celestial bodies were considered divine archetypes, Gods, whose movements, representing divine will, had a direct relationship with the mortals who populated the Earth.
The wandering stars didn't move in regular motion, they went backwards and forwards, north and south across the sky and sometimes disappeared from sight altogether. These "planetary Gods were rollicking about the heavens, travelling to different celestial palaces, engaging in friendly and adversarial relations, and ever negotiating about the fates of the mortals below, whose lives were under their jurisdiction." [excerpt from Demetra George's, Ancient Astrology in theory and practice]
The fixed stars were mapped and named and these twelve celestial palaces took on archetypes of their own, characteristics which worked well with the temperament of some of the Gods and less well with others. The palace in which a God was in residence had an effect on how happy or unhappy they were and how benevolent they were with their will.
In ancient times (and still now if the rumours are to be believed) the Astrologer was engaged to inform the rich and powerful, the Kings and Queen's, what was going to happen, how it was going to affect them and when it would be best to do things in order to get the more beneficial outcome. The Astrologer was the interpreter, entrusted with the fate of the King and the nation; a responsible job indeed!
How does it work?
"The philosophy on which astrology rests is an ancient one, expressed in the hermetic maxim, as above so below. This is astrology's basic premise, that life on earth is a mirror of the heavenly picture. As above, so below is enshrined in the ancient idea of correspondence where each planet governs everything in the cosmos that reflects or resonates to its particular energy. Thus, The Sun governs solar things (monarchs, heads of state, gold, sunflowers, the heart) whilst The Moon governs lunar things (mothers and caretakers, food and nourishment, waxing and waning). Each planet has its own domain, reaching through every level of existence and experience from the physical to conceptual.
This also reflects the ancient view that “man is a microcosm” in other words each of us is a cosmos in miniature. Your birth chart, with its bounding circle of the Zodiac (the stars), containing all the planets and encoding the connection between Earth and sky, is indeed a miniature cosmos and you are a reflection of this cosmos at the moment of your birth." [excerpt from Carole Taylor's, ASTROLOGY: Using the wisdom of the stars in everyday life]
Why choose me as your intermediary to the Gods?
I’ve always been fascinated by people and the stories that shape us. I studied Psychology and Sociology at university, hoping one day to help people feel at peace with the stories they’ve lived through, and empower them to write new, brighter ones for themselves. This path didn’t quite unfold the way I imagined, but it’s perfect that this is where I ended up.
A magical journey led me to astrology, and I’m endlessly grateful for the opportunity to embrace and share this ancient and sacred tool. Every reading I give is a transformative experience, not just for my clients, but for me as well. There’s magic in these conversations with The Gods, and it’s a privilege to be the one to help others connect with that magic.
I want to share this gift with as many people as possible, because I truly believe that astrology holds the power to help you grow, expand, and embrace a happier, more fulfilling life. Through my work, I aim to show you just how amazing you are, to uplift you, and help you understand the stories you’re here to live, grow, and learn from.
Let me share the magic with you.

The Birth Chart
My Birth Chart
Your birth chart is a snapshot of the sky at the exact moment you were born, mapped from the perspective of where you entered the world. It places you at the centre, with the heavens arranged all around you, above and below the horizon. This reflects the idea that there’s a deep, meaningful connection between you and the cosmos.
In this chart, you’ll find the 12 zodiac signs forming the outer wheel, along with the traditional planets; The Sun, The Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn, and the outer planets, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. This map of the sky at your birth is what we call a Birth Chart or Natal Chart.
Your chart holds the blueprint of who you are. It reveals what drives you, what you need to feel fulfilled, and the stories you’re here to experience and grow from. It’s not just about your personality, it weaves together your past, present, and future, showing how you move through life and how you can become the best version of yourself.
Astrology isn’t just mystical - it’s practical. Your chart highlights your strengths, talents, and potential, helping you understand yourself better and navigate life’s challenges with more clarity. It gives you insight into what truly matters to you and offers guidance on how to shine in your own unique way.
The Houses: Where The Gods Speak
The birth chart is divided into 12 sections called houses. Each house represents a different part of life, showing where the voices of The Gods are heard and where their influence is most active. Think of the houses as different realms where The Gods’ conversations unfold:
🏡 1st House: The realm of self—your identity, body, and your presence in the world.
🏡 2nd House: The realm of resources—wealth, possessions, and what you value.
🏡 3rd House: The realm of communication—your speech, learning, and immediate environment.
🏡 4th House: The realm of home and ancestry—your roots, lineage, and connection to the past.
🏡 5th House: The realm of joy—creativity, children, and the pleasures of life.
🏡 6th House: The realm of service—daily work, routines, and health as a conversation between body and spirit.
🏡 7th House: The realm of partnerships—significant people into your life for connection and growth.
🏡 8th House: The realm of transformation—shared resources, deep bonds, and rebirth through challenge.
🏡 9th House: The realm of wisdom—travel, belief systems, and philosophical understanding.
🏡 10th House: The realm of destiny—career, public life, and your legacy.
🏡 11th House: The realm of vision—friendships, community, and collective dreams.
🏡 12th House: The hidden realm—solitude, spiritual insight, and the unseen forces at work.
How to Read Your Chart
As your astrologer, I read your chart by listening to the conversations between The Gods, their placements, their domains, and the ways they interact.
-
The Gods (planets) each have their role: The Sun as the source of vitality and illumination (signifying our life purpose or driving storyline), The Moon as our human self, the body, the keeper of emotions (signifying how we feel here on The Earth), Mercury as the messenger (speaking to how we think, learn and communicate), Venus as the harmoniser (showing us how we love and what we value), Mars as the warrior (pushing us to fight and act on what we desire), Jupiter as the bringer of wisdom (encouraging us to expand and grow our understanding), and Saturn as the taskmaster (teaching us that it's through challenge that we become who we're born to be).
-
The Signs are the language each God speaks, shaping their expression, some fiery and bold, others measured and reflective.
-
The Houses reveal where their voices are strongest, whether in matters of love, career, home, or personal evolution.
-
The Aspects (how The Gods communicate with each other) tell us about ease, tension, and the lessons unfolding in your life.
Your birth chart is not a fixed fate; it’s an ongoing dialogue. The Gods are always in conversation, shaping your journey and inviting you to step into your fullest potential. Understanding this dialogue helps you move through life with greater awareness, making choices that align with your soul’s intent.
