The Life Reading:
Just as a wiring diagram shows the configuration of a piece of electrical equipment's circuitry, indicating how electricity flows through it, so does a birth chart show the circuitry of an individual, indicating how life energy tends to flow through the incarnation.
The birth chart shows how you are "wired."

In the Life Reading, we explore your chart's indications of how life tends to flow for you. The simple understandings revealed in this reading can deeply affect the quality of your life. A primary and very common effect, is feeling that you've been deeply "Seen" and understood. This often helps a person fully and truly accept life As It Is, reducing the anxiety that comes from seeing life as somehow incomplete.
We take a broad overview of these domains of life:
Career, money, relationships, health, and spirituality.
We also consider the dasha (planetary period) you are in, plus the transits in effect for the upcoming year.

Fee: $125, 1.5 hours




The Transit Reading:
(Transits, Dasha)
This reading highlights the upcoming 12 months: potentials that become activated, pitfalls to avoid with proper understanding, and making the most of what your life is trying to bestow upon you. We'll use the same transits as are used by western astrology, and we'll also use the Vimshottari Dasha system (planetary periods,) unique to vedic astrology. This reading can help you stay aligned with, and conscious of, your dharma (your life's natural highest expression.)
Fee: $100, 1.0 hour
Prerequisite: The Life Reading




Three Sessions Over Six Months - Astrological Dialogue:
While you're going through a life transition, it can help enormously to have support and insight in staying on-course with your Dharma. Checking in for a half hour every 8 weeks or so, will let us review your transits, guide you to respond to how the transits are unfolding, and give you astrological reminders about the current life "curriculum."
Fee: $150, 0.5 hour/session
Prerequisite: The Life Reading




Six Sessions Over Twelve Months - Astrological Dialogue:
When you know (or have a feeling) you're headed for a massive transition (changing careers, getting a divorce, getting married, moving to a new city), a year of consistent check-ins can help insure a smooth ride, and help you make the most of the opportunities ahead of you.
Fee: $270, 0.5 hour/session
Prerequisite: The Life Reading




The Relationship Reading:
Planetary “synastry” between any 2 charts... business partners, romantic partners, friends, etc. Discovering/honoring the evolutionary attraction for your coming together. Examining the potential for relating in each individual chart. Also exploring the strengths & challenges of the two charts together; what the relationship can deliver, what expectations are unrealistic, and cultivating the beneficial potentials that naturally exist between the two individuals.
Fee: $125, 1.5 hours



The Birthday Reading:
(Varshaphal, or Annual chart)
This reading is a delightful gift to give yourself each year around your birthday. It focuses on what developments the upcoming year has in store (in terms of energies passing through.)
Varshaphal is a technique from an ancient Persian system of astrology which became incorporated into Vedic Astrology over time. It is a fascinating look at specifically the year ahead. In this reading, we also take into consideration the dashas and transits that are operating for you.
Fee: $125, 1.0 hours
Prerequisite: The Life Reading



The Dharma Reading:
* The ultimate graduation present for your high school or college grad. *
Every chart has a particular set of talents, skill potentials, and natural inclinations, built into it. When you live your life from this place, things tend to flow. Dharma can be thought of as one's essential nature. The dharma of a rose is to have the fragrance of a rose. The dharma of a gardenia is to have the fragrance of a gardenia. It's not something one can strive for - it is more, something one discovers, or allows.
Fee: $125, 1.0 hours
Prerequisite: None




The New Baby Reading:
What mother to be doesn’t wonder what her child will be like, what her relationship with her child will be like, and what specific things she can do to support the development of her child’s full potential? Marga has been giving these readings for moms-to-be for years, hearing inspiring feedback: “Hearing about Samuel’s chart helped me to understand how to be there for him, and gave me insight into his psychology that has significantly eased our relating with each other” - Jeannie, a mom of two beautiful young children.
The observations given in this kind of reading are always intended to help a mother-to-be understand her child and work with her child’s specific talents, challenges, and needs. The Reading is set up as a dialog, so that the mother-to-be can gain what insight she wants from the reading – however, if a mother prefers to spend the time listening to descriptive information about her child’s potentials, the vedic astrological chart is a veritable goldmine.
Fee: $125, 1.0 hours
Prerequisite: None




The Question Reading — Prashna:
(Also known as horary astrology.)
Exploring any question in depth, using a chart drawn up for the moment of the question. Questions could be: should I accept this publisher's offer, or, should we buy that house next year? etc.
Fee: $60, 0.5 hour
Prerequisite: The Life Reading



The Astrocartography (Location) Reading:
Presenting you with a mapping of your “planetary lines” across the globe. Where you're more apt to succeed professionally; where romance or relationship thrives for you; where spirituality deepens for you.
The astrocartography map is also useful for planning travel - which locations are fraught with hassles, which locations promise ease and pleasure.
Fee: $140, 1.0 hour
Prerequisite: The Life Reading



New Business, Strategy Reading:
This reading is an invaluable, practical adjunct to the advice of your attorney and accountant for getting your new business off the ground.
We will cover: business name; review of your business plan and mission and vision statements; fruitful partnerings; best astrological timelines for opening, announcing, investing, hiring and selling.
Fee: $175, 1.5 hours
Prerequisite: None



Business Reading, 6-Month Forecast:
Transit and dasha reading for a business. Looks at timing and helps you make decisions around when to do what, and with how much of your business' resources.
Fee: $150, 1.0 hour
Prerequisite: None



The Timing of an Event — Muhurta:
The ancient kings used Muhurta to check the “astrological weather” to plan festivals, to know when to plant and when to harvest crops, and when & how to wage war.

These techniques of pinpointing the ideal commencement of any event are equally useful in the life of individuals. We pick the time and date whose energies most closely match your intention for the event (such as a wedding, the opening of a business, or the purchase of a home.)

This service provides you with a .5 hour consultation, in which I will present you with 3 options on times, within your feasible time window. Each time will be accompanied by descriptions and reasons and things to expect about that time.
Fee: $125 (Fee is for the research time spent in finding the Muhurtha; there is no reading per se.)



The Prescriptive Reading:
This reading gives astrological "remedies", (upayas), pertaining to areas of the birth chart you would like to strengthen. These range from very practical (donate money to a charity of your choice that pertains to the energy you would like to strengthen in your life) to very esoteric (mantras, gems, pujas), depending upon your interest.
Fee: $100, 0.5 hour
Prerequisite: The Life Reading



Wedding Package: Combination Relationship Reading & Muhurta:
People who are planning a wedding often request a Muhurta (or beneficial time) in conjunction with a Relationship Reading.
(See above for descriptions of each.)
Fee: $200, 1.5 hours
