New! Book Review in "Mountain Astrologer", Feb/March 2010
Although astrologically oriented, this book is written for all readers who are looking to better understand their life direction and soul purpose. Endorsed by Jungian author Jim Hollis and evolutionary astrologer, Steven Forrest, this book is a reference guide as well as a collection of heart-felt stories that inspire a wider understanding of astrology and depth psychology.
By using the simple chart/table based on your day and year of birth, you'll be able to look up your Nodes, as well as those of your friends, partners, and family, in order to more deeply understand the psycho-spiritual challenges and opportunities embedded in the chart. Understanding the Nodes and life passages (transits) will inspire a more compassionate view of relationships, marriage, menopause, as well as the "alchemy of desire."

"I just wanted to say a word of thanks for our time together over the phone this morning. It felt right, peaceful and affirming,
as much as it challenges me to reflect further...I also very much appreciated the gentle, caring, and articulate manner in which you shared what you did...It allowed me to feel a definite soul-level connection with you over the phone."

{ I have temporarily stopped doing readings as of my last scheduled reading on Dec 17th, 2009 because I need to free up time and energy for a new writing project. I hope to continue readings in the spring, and meanwhile you could order "North Node Astrology" through this site or amazon.com or you might choose to buy my computerized natal or relationship chart readings which I will send to you. Both are the same price and can be purchased through the "Order Now" button at the bottom of this page. More to come in the spring! }
Here's how to set up a reading:
1) You email me at elizabethspring@verizon.net or call me (daytimes
only please; I'm in Rhode Island on EST at 401-294-5863) with your birth day, place, time and phone number.
If you don't have your birth time, I have the number to call for each state or country to get the time, or we can do a sunrise chart. A sunrise chart done for another person in comparison to your chart can also be helpful.
We set up an appointment time for you to call me (again by phone or email) and I will take your credit card information (billed to Spring Pottery) and charge your account $150. If you want me to add a relationship chart reading between you and someone else, including their birth and synastry/composite charts, I charge an extra $30.
After we've set our appointment, send me an email telling me about yourself, your questions, and what you're pondering--it can be a couple of sentences or a couple of pages! This is completely optional, but most people find it helpful, therapeutic and helps you clarify your questions and concerns.
2) You call me at our appointment time. Most sessions take about an hour, and a little longer for chart comparisons. I do work on Saturdays, but not any day after 4:00 PM. We do have to be aware of time differences when we set up our appointment time.
3) Before our session I will have brought up your birth, transit, and progressed charts to get a feel for the next year or two ahead. If necessary I'll use relocation chart, synastry and composite charts. I'll look for repeating patterns of challenge and opportunity and the Nodal questions of life direction and soul purpose. This is not a psychic reading and I won't be foretelling catastrophe or anything that is not helpful for you to know. Because I see astrology as the "positive contemplation of change" I see myself as one who affirms, confirms and evokes your own intuitive insights through translating the synchronistic symbols of astrology into the particulars of your life.
For those who wish, we can discuss the family karmic inheritance and the "past life parable of the Nodes" in ways that may be impacting you now. Other clients prefer to look at the more practical strategies that can empower you to take charge of your life more. We can work both on the the inner and outer levels at the same time, as they echo each other.
*** If you don't call me at our scheduled appointment time, please note that you will be charged for the reading and you'll need to reschedule. I hope you understand that I need to do it this way as mytime and prep-work is intensive and done ahead of our appointment time.
***Repeat sessions, done roughly within a year, are $125.
NEW!
Birth Charts with full written report and interpretations (app. 16-22 pages) great for a GIFT! Includes planet, aspect and house interpretation as well. Clear and well written for beginner as well as advanced. No previous knowledge of astrology necessary to understand. Great as a gift for friend or partner. Also....
Comparison/synastry/compatibility charts for you and your "significant other." Two birth charts are included with a detailed written report of the dynamic interactions (as featured by the most significant planetary aspects) between 2 people. Ideal for romantic relationships but also containing revealing insights for any two people.
To buy Reports: click on the "BUY NOW" button below as if you were buying the book at the bottom of this page, and fill out form that will open using either your credit card or PayPal.
In the BOX labeled "Instructions to Merchant" write: Birth Report or Comparision Report, and put in your birth day, time, and place. If you want a comparison chart for 2 people include birth day, time, year and place for both people--often you won't know the birth time of the other person, in which case I'll do the traditional sunrise chart for them.
Either report alone is the same price as the book: $21.95 plus shipping. To get the birth chart plus the relationship report you would have to order separately, doing the process twice. If you want the book and 1 report you need to fill out the form once for the book, and then again for the written report with your birth information included under "Instructions to Merchant."
***********************************************
Ordering the Book: There are book reviews on Amazon.com and a "Look Inside the Book" feature. However, the book is cheaper by buying it directly from me, and I will include your birthchart with it if you send me your birth time, place, day & address.

The book interweaves some of the "heart" of Jungian psychology with evolutionary astrology.

After you've checked out some of the articles on this site, come to the blog to read about about your North and South Nodes. This site is updated once or twice a week with new posts/articles and tells you how to find and understand your astrology chart particularly in terms of life direction and soul purpose as understood through your North and South Nodes and aspects to them.
Check out my New Blog! http://SouthNodeAstrology.blogspot.com It's focus in on the Soul's memory of love as expressed in the South Node of the birth chart, and how "love" both saves and sabotages our lives...exploration of Neptunian vs Venusian love.
