Natal / Birth Chart Reading

Natal Astrology is the practice of interpreting an individual’s natal/birth chart, or planetary placement in the heavens at the time of birth, in order to gain introspection of one’s self and circumstance. A birth chart is a sort of cosmic display of YOU—who you are at your core, personal tendencies, and life potentialities. I believe astrology can be a sort of conversational cosmic tool producing deeper introspection and self-discovery (or re-discovery!). I have personally found intensely affirming displays through the study of planetary alignments and it is my hope that you will find similar revelations in our sessions together.

I do not believe in a black-and-white, fated determination, and find this quote by Enid Newberg apt,

“Just like a weather forecast may predict a chance of rain in your area, that does not mean you are ‘fated’ to get wet. How you respond to the weather reports makes all the difference to the outcome.”

I study and work from a traditional, Hellenistic perspective, while thoughtfully including modern concepts and interpretations. As with any other counseling or consultation service, discussions between astrologer and client are private and confidential. At this time, I will only be working with clients who have a verified birth time.

Client Reviews

Maris did a fabulous job in my initial reading with her! I came into the session knowing very little about astrology, and Maris thoughtfully met me where I was. She carefully explained her methodology in my chart’s creation, and broke things down digestibly. Maris’s disarmingly down-to-Earth presence made me feel comfortable in exploring more personal areas of my chart. She drew an unexpectedly large number of insightful connections about who I am, my strengths, my potential areas of tension, and made recommendations about the best time to pursue change in different aspects of my life.

Maris is an ever-increasing wealth of knowledge who clearly cares about helping people get to know themselves better and grow. I highly recommend her!
