Astrology with Fred
Your chart is a house you live in. Let’s walk through it.
Traditional astrology readings with Fred. Whole sign houses, ancient techniques, plain language, over Zoom (or locally in Philly)!
I’ve studied and practiced astrology at a professional level for more than five years. I read in the traditional, Hellenistic lineage: whole sign houses, planetary dignities, the Lots, and timing techniques that in many cases are nearly two thousand years old.
The tradition is dense, and I think it’s most useful when someone translates it and I’ll do my best. I’ll explain every term, show you what a placement looks like in your actual life, and work with you on the final interpretation of what it means. I’m not here to predict your future or tell you who you are. I’m here to help you see what you have to work with.
Who I learn from
- Larry Arrington: I’ve trained under Larry, in live, ongoing study for the past three years.
- Kelly Surtees: I completed coursework in Natal Astrology and Professional Predictive Work.
- Chris Brennan and Rob Bailey: I am continuing my studies with their course in traditional Horary Astrology.
I’m grateful to all of them. What’s sound in my readings comes from them, and the mistakes are mine.
Services
If you don’t see an opening on the scheduler, send me a note and we’ll find a time.
Natal Chart Reading $120 · 60 minutes
Start here if you’ve never had a reading.
This is a walk through your whole chart, like a tour of the house you were born into: which rooms are bright, which are cluttered, who lives where, and how they get along. I prepare your chart in advance, so our time goes to interpretation, not setup. You leave with a portrait of your strengths, your challenges, and your recurring themes that you can return to for years.
Timing Reading $120 · 60 minutes
For people who have had a natal reading.
Why does this stretch of life feel the way it does, and what is the sky doing in the months ahead? Using annual profections, zodiacal releasing, circumambulations, secondary progressions, and transits, we place the present moment inside the larger story of your chart. I treat the forecast as weather, not fate. It’s useful to know it’s coming, and you decide what to wear.
Open Session $90 · 60 minutes
For conversation and loose questions.
No set agenda and no chart prep. Bring a decision, a technique you’re curious about, or a chart you can’t make sense of.
Note on Cost: I believe in this work being accessible—if you cannot afford these prices for any reason, note that in your request form and we’ll work something out.
How It Works
- Book a session on the scheduler.
- Send me your birth date, place, and the most exact time you can find. A birth certificate is best. If you don’t know your time, tell me and we’ll talk about what’s still possible.
- We meet on Zoom, with your chart already prepared.
- I’ll send you the notes and the recording for future reference.
FAQ
Do I need to know anything about astrology? No. I’ll explain terms as we go, and I’m happy to go deeper if you want.
Do I need my birth time? Ideally, yes. It sets your rising sign and houses, which are central to how I read.
What if I’m skeptical? Welcome. Good questions make for better sessions.
