Sessions
Astrology sessions with The Natal Brief are designed to provide orientation, context, and language—not predictions or personality labels.
Each session is grounded in interpretive astrology: working with your chart as a system to identify patterns, themes, and periods of emphasis that support clearer decision-making.
Introductory Natal Chart Reading
This is the foundation of the work.
A natal chart reading offers a structured overview of how different parts of your chart interact—highlighting recurring patterns, tensions, and strengths that tend to shape lived experience over time.
Rather than focusing on isolated placements, we look at how the chart functions as a whole.
What a Natal Chart Reading Can Help With
Clients often come to a first session when:
- They feel stuck or directionless
- They notice the same patterns repeating despite effort
- They want language for experiences they already sense
- They’re seeking clarity without being told what to do
A natal reading doesn’t provide answers in the form of instructions. It provides context—so choices can be made with greater awareness.
How I Read Natal Charts
My approach centers on synthesis, not shortcuts.
At a high level, we work with the relationship between:
- Planets and luminaries (what functions are active)
- Houses (where those functions tend to show up in life)
- Signs (how those functions are expressed)
This differs from pop astrology, which often isolates single placements or treats signs as personality types. Interpretation happens in the relationships between components—not in any one symbol on its own.
Benefits of a Natal Chart Reading
Clients typically leave with:
- A clearer understanding of core patterns in their chart
- Language they can continue working with after the session
- Greater clarity around what’s structural vs situational
- Insight that supports agency rather than replacing it
The aim is not self-definition, but self-recognition.

What Comes Next
Once a natal foundation is established, clients may choose to continue with:
- Progressed Chart Readings
Focused on how your chart unfolds and evolves over time, particularly during periods of transition. - Synastry / Relationship Readings
Exploring how two charts interact, with emphasis on dynamics rather than compatibility scoring.
These sessions build on the natal chart rather than replacing it.
A Note on Fit
If you’re looking for certainty, prediction, or simplified answers, this work may not be a good match. If you’re interested in astrology as a tool for understanding patterns and supporting informed choice, you’ll likely find it useful.
