What does a Medical Astrology reading look like?

Because I have a wide variety of clients, my Medical Astrology readings usually look one of four ways.

1. Identify what in the natal chart is indicating what is connected to experiences of feeling unwell.

2. Look to the natal chart to promote wellness using the variety of tools I have; including my degree in Health and sports science and psychology, herbalism, traditional medicine, yoga, movement and somatic training. You can think of this like preventative medicine. Education and remedies are often explored if desired.

3. A combination of one and two.

4. For strictly educational purposes.

Do I need my exact birth time?

It depends on what kind of reading you are doing. It is ideal to have the exact time of birth, however, in Medical Astrology readings, I’ve recently been convinced by one of my teachers that planetary combinations are most important, therefore, the precision of the time is not AS important. This is also due to the fact that as an herbalist and having over 400+ hours of training with Yoga, physical therapy intern work, and movement and somatic courses, I have holistic evaluation tools that give us more space to work without excessive attachment to the 100% precision of the time of birth.

If you are seeing anything having to do with precise timing such as a solar return reading or planning out your year or months ahead of time, I highly recommend receiving a rectification consultation with a qualified astrologer.

How often should I get an astrology reading?

I personally get no less than one per year. It really is about what you are seeking to accomplish by working with astrology. Below I will give you a few ways of HOW I think about it instead of giving one answer as if one size fits all.

If you want to work on your health, it can be weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly for an extended period of time. Similar to how you might work with a personal trainer, nutritionist, physical therapist, herbalist, etc.

If you are looking for an overview of the year, it can be once a year, every quarter, or month to month check ins following a yearly reading.

If you are seeking to work with astrology in an emotional and psychological healing capacity with someone who is qualified to hold space, then I would not limit it. Weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, and as needed support as you work through things is HOW I would think about it.

If you are working with someone to cultivate spiritual gifts, I think of this on a as needed basis. My advice in the domain of spiritual development is to connect with an astrologer that has some initiation or formal training just as you would with anything else.

How do I know if an astrologer is credible?
