Frequently Asked Questions

•What do I need to get an Astrology Reading?
I need your birthday, birth time and birth location. The birth time is usually found on the birth certificate. 

•What if I don’t have my birth time?  Where can I get my Birth Certificate?
I would first encourage you to find your birth certificate. If you cannot locate it and were born in the United States, you can order your birth certificate on line for a fee atwww.vitalchek.com  It takes anywhere from 2-4 weeks depending on the state you were born in.

If you live in Honolulu and were born in Hawaii, you can get a copy immediately at the Department of Health. It's located at 1250 Punchbowl Street, Room 103, on the corner of South Beretania. The parking entrance is on S. Beretania. They are open Monday through Friday from 7:45 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. There is a small fee ($10-$15) to get a copy of the birth certificate through one of these two venues.

•How come my birth certificate doesn’t have my birth time on it?
Sometimes when we reorder our birth certificate over the years for certification purposes, the duplicate copy will not include the time. Many clients say that when they order the certificate again for the purpose of Astrology, they request the “full version” or specifically say they want the birth time and then they will get it.

•How exact does my time need to be?
The birth time needs to be exact as possible to maximize the accuracy and amount of information given. If the birth time is estimated, I will need to know that and will take that into consideration.

 

 


 
 
•Can you still do the reading without a birth time?
Many clients were born in countries where birth time was not recorded and parents do not remember. Yes I can do the reading, and it will still be accurate, however, I will only be able to give you about half the information I usually can find with the full birth information.

It will still be enlightening and offer insight as there are definitely cycles in your life that show up that I can talk about. If it is not to be ever possible to get your birth time, then we will have to go with this.  However, it is worth it to postpone the reading until you can get your birth time if you are able to order it on line.

•Do you do readings by phone?
Yes, if you are not able to come to the office, or live in another city or state, we can easily do the reading. Once the appointment is set, you will receive a confirmation with all the details. A few days before your appointment, you will receive an email from me with all that we need for the reading, including charts, and the number to call. All you have to do is either print out the charts we will use, or be at your computer during the session. The session is taped and then you are sent the recording of our conversation afterwards.

•Do I get a written report with the session?
There is no written report as the information you get is my words and explanation of the energies during the time we are together. You do get a recording of our session as a courtesy on a cassette tape.

•What if I live in a different country and can’t do a phone reading, is there another way?
You can also just request a taped reading which means that I talk into the tape recorder as if you were there and lead you through the entire reading that way. When you get the tape, you just play it and follow along.

•How long are your sessions?
Whether by phone or in person, the first time we meet for the “Initial Reading” allow about 60-70 mins depending on how much information there is to share. The follow up sessions are one hour.

•I don’t know if I should come for an Astrology or a Life Guide – how do I decide what is right? 
If you have things going on that you don’t understand, feelings that you have, situations around you that are happening that you need clarity on, or if you are feeling stuck, or feeling anything out of the ordinary at all, then the Astrology would be a good place to start. We can get the “bigger picture” of everything that is going on in your life and I can offer some insight.

If you have something going on in your life that you specifically want to work on to move to a better place, then you would choose the Life Guide. Here we work on specifics — you know where you are and where you want to go — getting over the loss of a parent, working past your fears of starting your own business, desiring to manifest something into your life, or wanting to forgive and release resentment for someone in your life, how to break up with someone graciously, understanding your own Spirituality, etc.

•By doing an astrology reading, am I going against God?
People who have grown up in, or are a part of an organized religion are told by the heads of the church that people like me that "tell your future" are of the devil, and that it is a sin to do this, etc. My understanding is that this is done in order to maintain control over the person and the church goers as they want them to believe that the only way to know your life and have peace/love or forgiveness is through the church. It is a way of maintaining control.

In actuality, the three wise men who found Baby Jesus were astrologers as they followed the pattern of the stars to the birth location. Remember the story? Even in the Dead Sea Scrolls that were recently found, there were many books that were written as part of the bible all about astrology and how there are clues to human life within these patterns and cycles. These books were taken out before the Bible was put out to the people (so as to not give the people access to power that may take them away from needing the church).

There are numerous references to Astrology and the use of Astrology in the bible. If the Creator did in fact make the "heavens and the earth", and if he did create it in such perfection that we could use the energies of the planets to find insight and direction, help our lives, and understand this path we have chosen, how could that be wrong?

That said, just to clarify, I am by no means a "fortune teller". I will not tell you what to do in your life or what to choose, what to believe or what your future will be. What I do is give you a heads up of the bigger picture of your life and help you come to an understanding so that you can live your life with more clarity and understanding.
