Generational astrology focuses on a long-term view of your life.
This type of reading provides general guidance when navigating major life paths.
Want to know if you should have kids?
What city or state you should live in?
The long cycles of the outer planets show these types of trends.
Other astrological readings focus on more immediate concerns.
Is now a good time to pursue romance?
Are financial opportunities around the corner?
The journey of the planets through the Zodiac helps you plan and prepare for events throughout the immediate future.
What is Your Birth Chart?
Almost all astrological readings begin by developing a birth chart.
