Astrology

What can I expect from astrology services at Nostoura?

  • As practiced at Nostoura, astrology is a spiritual practice in which the exact date, time, and location of our birth provides us with a map of the soul and the circumstances in which we incarnated.

    I think of the chart as mapping the Hindu idea of samskara — the deep-seated patterns that we return to over and over again, and that likely have transcended lifetimes. We see ourselves return to these patterns repeatedly throughout our lives, and through the wisdom of the birth chart, we can take new perspectives or enact new behaviors to achieve moksha, or liberation.

    What you will not find practiced at Nostoura:

    • Generalizations, trivializations, or stereotypes about zodiac signs (astrology memes are fun and have their place, but it isn’t here)

    • Using astrology as an excuse for behaviors

    • The “right” answer or path to take — while astrology can provide insight into common patterns and their origins, it is up to us as individuals to discern our own paths forward

    You can find out more about my training and astrology lineage on my About page.

  • There are so many reasons to book a reading! Here are some common ones:

    • You’d like a reflection of your inner knowing

    • You’ve lost sight of yourself and you’re seeking some reorientation through spiritual guidance

    • You have a history with religion or spirituality, and have faith in something bigger than yourself, but past practices never quite fit

    • You’re into the “woo,” but find yourself feeling floaty and are seeking some grounding

    • You’re just curious about what all of this is about!

  • Descriptions of reading types are located in the booking tool on this page. I do offer pricing flexibility and opportunities for trades. To inquire about either, please email me at hello@nostoura.com.

Please note that I do not do standalone astrology readings, including predictive work, for current psychotherapy clients.

If you are potentially interested in psychotherapy services, please book a free psychotherapy consult before booking an astrology reading so that I can support you in determining which will be the best fit.

Astrology readings provided are not psychotherapy, and are not intended to replace physical or mental healthcare. Astrology clients are allowed three astrology readings per year and are not considered therapy clients.

“We are just a particle of dust, somewhere living on a particle of dust, somewhere in the cosmic universe. If we look with scientific and collective standards at our life, it is completely transient and meaningless. But if we look within and we look at the stars, then we come to realize that within that cosmic infinity, we have a unique task to fulfill, which we generally experience as what we call the meaning of our life.”
