“Vanessa is a master at weaving the intricate math of astrology with her own intuitive heart & soul. I had always enjoyed astrology apps and online weekly readings but seeing my full natal chart blows any of that out of the water. I had no idea the magnitude of the many working forces...Vanessa helps to clarify and consolidate all of it.
It feels that Vanessa shines light on an “inner voice” or intuition that feels just right. I always leave her feeling extremely confident with who I am, inspired by who I’m going to be, and a deeper understanding of how to connect with myself and the relationships around me. Validation, confirmation, and reassurance.
The information allows me to lean into things that are in my favor and surrender to things that aren’t. A total relief! I’m completely fascinated by the accuracy - down to the exact day, even! And I know to plan accordingly and reference my chart at times I'm seeking guidance, support, or better understanding.
Having a deeper understanding of all your potential is beyond powerful and Vanessa’s delivery and compassion for this work keeps me coming back for more.”

“My natal chart session with Vanessa felt like sitting down with an old friend who speaks the language of the stars. Her insights were gentle and spot-on, helping me understand myself in ways that felt both cosmic and grounded. Who knew the planets could have such an impact on our lives? It's pretty incredible!
I walked away feeling affirmed, clear, and more at peace with where I’m at — like I could finally trust the timing of things. Vanessa has such a wise, intuitive presence. I’d recommend a session with her to anyone who’s curious about astrology and ready to see themselves a little more clearly.”

Thank you, thank you, thank you . . . you are a gift . . . an incredible healer.
Your vibe and intuition is soothing, spot-on and incredibly maternal and loving. You are a gift and I am beyond grateful to be in your hands and your world.”

Natal Chart Analysis
The first step. Holistic Astrology for Awakening to your Authentic Self.
What Is a Natal Chart Analysis?
A natal chart analysis is a one-hour personalized astrology reading based on the exact date, time, and place of your birth. As a Western Tropical Astrologer using the Placidus House System, I translate the symbolic language of your chart into clear, practical insight—so you can better understand yourself, your patterns, and your path.
Your chart is a blueprint of your energy. Through a detailed analysis, I examine:
Each sign, planet, and house placement
The condition of your planets and how they function
Major patterns, aspects, and energy flow
Your strengths, challenges, and growth themes
Elements and modes (your energetic balance)
Chart angles, special degrees, nodal axis, and key points
Your natal lunar phase and emotional rhythm
From this, your unique astrological story emerges.
During your session, we will focus on the most impactful energies shaping your life—so you walk away with insight that is both meaningful and immediately applicable. We also briefly touch on current cycles, including your secondary progressed lunar phase and any key upcoming dates to be aware of.
Why This Matters
A natal chart reading helps you understand why your life unfolds the way it does—and how to work with your natural patterns instead of against them. It offers awakening to your inner knowing, clarity in times of change, direction when you feel stuck, and deeper alignment with who you truly are.

Predictive Cycles Guidance
Orients you to upcoming astrological cycles and impacts
After completing your natal session, you can shift into ongoing predictive guidance which looks at your upcoming cycles. This is where astrology really comes alive in an every day way as the ongoing motion of the planets, points and bodies awaken your “natal promises”.
In preparing for these 30 minute sessions, Vanessa will do a “time search” to analyze how the major celestial bodies are interacting with your natal placements over the next 3 months.
She will use several predictive methods, reviewing your transits, progressions, solar arc directions and solar return charts to determine what internal shifts and experiences are on your horizon, along with the timing and theme of external events about to unfold in specific areas of your life.
Together, you’ll discuss the upcoming cycles with a focus on how and where the energy might bring you supportive gifts or challenging hits. Vanessa will refer to your natal chart for guidance on the resources you have, both internally and externally, to help you navigate with maximum growth and minimal damage.
So much of our success in life boils down to correctly timing our efforts, avoiding distraction/temptation traps, and aligning our efforts and energy with our authentic, highest purpose. This is one of the biggest strengths predictive astrology offers. It works hand-in-hand with natal astrology, using this foundation as a dynamic reference for understanding your unique strengths and short-circuits to customize sound astrological counsel.
With each session, you’ll have a chance to ask Vanessa a question you’d like your predictive astrology to address or illuminate.
