Preparing for a Session
​
I am often asked by clients if there is a way to prepare for our astrology session. First of all, there is nothing you need to do other than make sure that I have you correct birth date, time and place. So know that after that, you get to simply be present and available for what I read in the chart. Being well-rested, present, distraction-free and in a quiet place (for a phone session) is helpful.
When we begin our session, I will ask you, "what do you want to get out of our session?" There are no good, bad, right or wrong answers to this question. People come to me for all kinds of reasons. You may have very specific time-sensitive questions. You might want to look into past lives. You may want to explore your gifts, challenges, soul-work, spiritual path, relationships. You may be curious and interested because a friend came and had a good experience. Since I do not advertise, most people (like 99%) come to me because someone they knew came to me and had a good experience. I usually expect that. From what you gleaned of your friends session, an expectation may arise and it can be helpful for me to know your expectation, but it is in no way necessary.
For those of you who love homework and love to be prepared, there is something else you can do. Astrology is the work of traveling through time--exploring events of the past and future and making connections, correlations and projections based on those connections. In the experience of time jumping, we go beyond time and in a slightly altered state, I can see possibilities for you and chances for you to align with these patterns in a way to move through your life with increased grace and ease. In this process, we talk about dates . . . a lot. Sometimes I am quickly listing off date after date after date. It can be a lot to follow, if you are trying to remember what you did in February 2005, and I have already moved on to May 1999 or September 13th, 2011.
Before a session, make a list of the important events in your life and get accurate dates for those moments. Then write a timeline of your life. Places you lived; jobs you had; relationships; mile stones; accidents and health issues. In looking at a relationship, I will want to know the moment your eyes first met. In looking at a job, I will want to know the first day on the job. In looking at place, when did you sign the contract? When did you move? With health issues, I will want to know the date symptoms appeared, the triggers that were happening at that time and when/if it was diagnosed. Have fun with this.
