What is Astrological Counseling?
Astrology reflects the complex, dynamic, and holistic system that we are.
I use astrology as a meaningful observational tool, a guide, and a cosmic mirror that shows us the beauty of our inner life. I also find that astrology celebrates our uniqueness, validates our intuition, and can help us develop patience with life’s perfect timing. It re-connects with the micro and macro cycles of nature so we become more attuned to noticing, sensing, and harmonizing our frequency with the greater symphony of life.
My relationship with clients usually begins with a natal chart reading where we explore your life curriculum and look at what developmental processes are unfolding for you in the present moment. Through on-going work, we can further explore and become familiar with the parts of your natal chart that will help you get to know parts of yourself more clearly. In turn, you’ll gain emotional resiliency, clarity, and inspiration which builds self-trust, self-responsibility, and self-empowerment.
A natal chart tells us something really important:
You are one of a kind.
No one will ever express the echoes of the moment you were born the way you do.
“As esoteric as it seems to some people, astrology is actually very down-to-earth – a discipline blending mysticism and pragmatism for the enhancement of life.”
My Approach
My non-traditional therapeutic sessions are an opportunity to dive deeper and explore parts of yourself seeking integration and acceptance through astrological counseling.
By giving voice to your inner perspectives, you can integrate polarities, resolve unfinished issues, and deepen your self-awareness. You can also learn how to tap into your body’s wisdom and find new ways of nurturing your nervous system.
Through our ongoing dialogue, I listen to your story and notice how it lives through the symbolic language of astrology through your natal chart. I continuously look for threads of connection between what you’re saying and what I see in the astrology so I can point out how the tapestry of your life weaves together in a meaningful way.
I respect you as the expert on your life. I believe in your innate intelligence to heal and reclaim your power. I reflect that back by inviting and encouraging you to think differently so you can have new thoughts, new behaviors, and new responses.
My role is to bear witness, listen, reflect, and support you in better understanding yourself and your current processes through this magnificent lens. My interpretations provide an anchor of meaning and a sense of timing so that you understand where you’re at in your evolutionary journey.
Astrological counseling sessions are dynamic, empowering, revelatory and can be life-changing. However, if you’re not interested in doing deep, inner exploration along with taking action on your goals or you’re only seeking a sounding board, I’m probably not the guide for you. But, if you’re seeking a guide who will supportively yet gently nudge you towards the chasm of change, we’re probably a good fit.
After our time together you’ll likely feel more grounded and at home within yourself so you can relate to your past, your fears, your truth, and your heart with more ease and grace.
I use the western/tropical zodiac and whole signs house system to explore natal signatures, current transits, relocation charts, progressions, health patterns through medical astrology, and relational dynamics through synastry and composite charts.
A constellation of parts lives within you waiting to be seen, known, loved, and cared for.
WHAT CLIENTS ARE SAYING
“Danielle provided exactly the type of interaction I was looking for in an astrologer, someone that would overlay the actual story being lived out over the chart and help relate back to me interpretations of what is being asked of me (from the greater perspective of the story).
Immediately after our conversation, I had a major breakthrough unravel within me. I’m grateful for Danielle's help in facilitating that.”
D.H., ROSWELL
“Working with Danielle is incredibly helpful in keeping me positive and forward moving. I am reminded to work through my wounds and let go of my impulse to collapse into victimization. To allow myself to take up space and have a voice in all areas of my life. To value what I can bring to the world and maybe consider how I might do it differently.”
A.B., SANTA FE
“The function of Astrology is not to tell us what will or rather what may, happen in the future but what significance there is in every moment lived or about to be lived. It reveals the quality of particular moments and of the larger cycles rooted in those moments.”
