Clarity for life’s crossroads

When you’re stuck at work, uncertain in love, or burned out and wondering how much longer you can hold on, a reading helps you make sense of what’s really going on, and when it’s going to shift.

Who comes to me

People usually find me when they’re stuck.

At work, it might be a boss you can’t stand, a job you’ve outgrown, or a quiet sense that it’s time for something else. Burnout is real, and so is quiet quitting. I help people see when it’s time to make a change.

In love, it might be a new relationship you didn’t see coming, or an old relationship that has frustrated you for years. Some people have been stuck so long they’re afraid to move. I help them reconnect with what they already know is true, or what they hadn’t admitted to themselves yet. Hearing it reflected back often gives them the courage to act.

Some come because they want to sit with someone who can truly see them. I know that need well. Being seen is what changed my own life.

And people who are already familiar with astrology come for the depth: the detail and the timing. Some arrive already knowing which transit they’re in — a Saturn return, say — and wanting to understand what it’s asking of them. When will this shift? How can I best use my energy in the coming days and weeks? What should I say yes to, and when should I walk the other way?

Astrology, in plain language

Your birth chart is a map of the sky at the moment you were born. In a reading, I translate that map into plain language: your gifts, your challenges, and the greater patterns in your life. Through interpretation and storytelling I translate these into concepts and archetypes you can understand and remember.

Then we look at timing. Astrology is a calendar, so we can see how the energy is moving and how long it will last: what’s shifting, when, and how to use your energy to make the most of moments as they arrive.

What a reading gives you

You’ve probably talked it through with friends. You’ve journaled, made lists, maybe lain awake running the same questions. Should I leave this job? Is this relationship still right for me? Is it time to move, to sell the house, to start over somewhere new? And still, nothing feels clear.

A reading starts with listening. Before I say anything about your chart, I want to hear what’s going on, in your own words. Then we look underneath it. Your chart shows where the frustration is really coming from: an old pattern, a need that’s gone unmet, a part of you that has outgrown the life you built. Once you can see the root, the question of what to do gets much simpler.

I’ll never forget one session with a woman who was struggling in her relationship. As I read her chart, I reminded her who she was and what was really going on for her. She began to cry. She felt seen. What she’d been going through wasn’t all in her head, and it wasn’t something she’d done wrong.

That’s often where the relief comes from. I’m naming something you’ve always known but never had words for. A reading can confirm the intuition you’ve been doubting, and show you that what you thought was a flaw, or a failure of will, is simply who you are.

Then we turn to the decision: stay or go, leap or wait. Maybe the door is open right now. Maybe it’s January and things shift in March, and you can hold on two more months knowing change is coming. Either way, you leave with a clearer sense of which direction is yours, and when to move.

You come away with clarity about what’s happening, insight into why, and hope for what’s ahead. Months later, clients often tell me, “You were right, and here it is.” And they were ready for it.

And you don’t need to catch everything in the moment. Every session is recorded, and you go home with it. Many people tell me the reading meant even more days later, as they listened again and let it settle in.

Working together over time

Many people don’t come just once. They come back when the next thing feels sticky, around a birthday, or every couple of weeks for a season while they work through something bigger.

The readings build on each other. We already know your chart, your patterns, and the archetypes you live out, so we don’t start from scratch: we pick up where we left off and look at how those parts of you are evolving. Over time you start to recognize your own patterns as they arrive.

If you’d like to work this way from the start, a session package or the Deep Dive gives you a set of sessions to use as you need them.

What clients say

“It felt like he was able to really see me, and to understand me in a way that very few people do.”

“George’s insights have helped me realize much more equanimity in my circumstances.”

R., Artist

“George is the one who sees me for who I am and helps me understand the different parts of myself.”

A.N., Event Manager

“George is a poet and a sage and a delight.”

J., Literary Editor

Hi, I’m George.

I found astrology when I was burned out and didn’t know how to move forward. Astrology taught me a great deal about who I am. I’ve studied astrology since 2000, and I’ve given professional readings since 2020 to help others find that same clarity.

Questions

What do I need for a reading?

Your birth date, the place you were born, and your birth time. The time matters: without it, I can’t cast an accurate chart. If you don’t know yours, check your birth certificate. You can also contact the hospital where you were born or write to the county where you were born; both often have an accurate record of your birth time. If you’ve looked and it truly isn’t there, an Ask Me Anything reading is still open to you: it uses a chart cast for the moment you ask your question, not for your birth, so it needs no birth time.

Do I need to believe in astrology?

No. Many people come to me curious but unsure. Think of astrology as a lens: a focused way of looking at the patterns in your life and the timing of what’s unfolding. Come with an open mind, and see what resonates.

What happens in the 15-minute call?

We take a first look at your chart and whatever’s on your mind, so you can get a feel for how I read. Then we’ll talk about what’s going on for you and whether a full reading would help. It costs $25, and if you book a full reading within a month, I’ll apply it toward your $200 first reading.

How do sessions work?

Readings are 60 minutes on Zoom. Afterward, you receive the recording and a summary of the key points. For new clients, I provide a hand-drawn horoscope with my notes. For an additional fee, I’ll also create further questions to consider, a recorded meditation, an active imagination prompt, or a ritual to help you go deeper.

How much does a reading cost?

A first full reading is $200 for 60 minutes, including the recording and a written summary. Follow-up readings are $150. If you start with the $25 call, that $25 goes toward your full reading when you book within a month. See all readings and prices on the Services page. If money is an issue, ask me about it.

What’s a Saturn return?

Saturn takes about twenty-nine years to circle the sun, so somewhere around twenty-eight to thirty it comes back to the place it held when you were born. It happens again in your late fifties, and for some people a third time in their eighties. It tends to arrive as a reckoning: whatever you built on a shaky foundation gets tested, and what was never yours to carry starts to fall away. People often come to me in the middle of one feeling like their life is coming apart, when what’s really happening is that it’s being rebuilt. In a reading we can see where yours falls in your chart, what it’s asking of you, and how much longer it will last.

Can you help with timing, like when to change jobs or move?

Yes. Timing is one of astrology’s most practical gifts. If you’re considering a move, an astrocartography reading maps your chart onto the globe to show where your energy is best supported.

Not sure if a full reading is right for you? Start with a 15-minute call for $25. It’s an easy way to see if we’re a good fit before you commit to anything more.
