Transit Story: Where is my life going?

What's coming up, and where is your life headed?

Astrology tells us about the quality of time we're moving through, much like a weather forecast tells us about the conditions ahead. If it's going to rain, it's going to rain whether you know it or not—the question is, will you bring an umbrella?

In this astrology chat, we'll explore the transits shaping your next 12 months: the major themes, turning points, opportunities, challenges, and resources available to you. You'll leave with important dates to watch, a clearer sense of what's unfolding, and practical strategies for working with the astrology rather than against it.

For anyone looking forward, starting over, navigating uncertainty, or getting ready to begin.

Testimonials

Evelyn

"So much of what Renee said to me during our session not only continues to resonate but forms a reliable mooring in my everyday life. Her gems of insight shed light on some core aspects of my being I had allowed to diminish under conventions, expectations, and fears of being considered too weird or ‘woo-woo’. Our conversation helped me lean into and on my intuition and instinct in areas where self-doubt and sabotage used to paralyze me. It gave me the just-right amount of confidence to emerge from the thin layer of my 74-year-old skin to flow into the next phases of my life. Mystical magical practical astrological midwifery! Thank you, Renee!"

Alida

"I’ve had the true pleasure and excitement of working with Renee on multiple occasions, including receiving 1:1 readings at pivotal inflection points in my life, and she was always spot-on. I grew up with hippie parents and have had readings more times than stars in the Centaurus constellation, so I was unexpectedly delighted and very impressed by Renee’s approach. Not only did she have a jaw-dropping depth of knowledge, she was incredibly thorough in explaining the background and the “why” behind her insights rather than throwing out a lot of jargon or quickly explaining astrological concepts that a laymen wouldn’t be familiar with. She gave me a deeper understanding of astrology than anyone else I’ve received readings from, and again, I’ve had a *lot*.

Her enthusiasm for astrology is infectious, like attending office hours of your favorite college professor. She also brings a practicality and big-picture approach to her work, drawing on her skills as a gifted writer (her blog is amazing!) and scholar of the world. The way she weaves in real-life examples, cultural relevancy, and historical trends is fascinating and offers a more profound and vibrant teaching of the world of astrology.

Highly recommend her for all of her astrological work. I’ve made literal life-changing decisions based on her savvy and caring insights and I can’t thank her enough."

Corey

"This was hands-down the most informative and fun experience I've ever had working with an astrologer. Renee took the time not to just tell me things, but to educate me on what it meant; it's the difference between "your chart says this" vs "your chart says this, and here's how I'm able to know that, let me show you." I will 110% be a repeat customer, because I learned more in one hour than I've ever learned in years of me sifting through books and other information. A true gem, cannot recommend this enough to people."

Questions You Might Have

How does astrology even work?

Yeah, who knows?! There are lots of theories, and the one I like best is the idea that the planets are like a clock that tells us about the quality of time.

When we’re born, the moment of our first breath marks the beginning of our lifetime. The configuration of the planets at that moment tells us something about the energetic conditions we were born into—and the patterns we carry with us throughout our lives.

Just as a clock doesn't make it 3pm, the planets don't make anything happen--they simply clue us into the energetic weather of the moment.

While we don’t know exactly why astrology works, it does seem to work. Every time I prepare for a session, I worry this will finally be the time astrology doesn’t work. And every time, it does.

Astrology offers something our rational, analytical minds can’t access: a way to see patterns, connections, and meaning that are otherwise imperceptible. It’s one of the tools we have for exploring the mystery of who we are and what our souls need to thrive.

To ignore the magic of being sentient meatsuits flying around on a ball of rock powered by a massive sky fire is a weird way humans try to feel in control of our environment, but existence is wild, beautiful, and magic, and astrology is one of the tools we can use to connect with the mystery of who and why we are.

What happens during a session?

I tell you who you are and provide you with a detailed manual containing all the answers for living a fulfilling life free from suffering. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

JK lol. Yeah, right. I'd be so rich.

What really happens is that we have a conversation where I'm gentle and kind, but also super real with you about your astrological potentials. Unless you've got a lot of Scorpio in your chart (hello, my beautiful privacy-valuing Scorpionic friends!), you'll probably talk more than me—and that's great, because understanding your astrology is a collaborative effort.

I bring the knowledge of astrological symbols and archetypes. You bring the knowledge of your life. Together, we untangle the threads of meaning between them.

I try to make it a fun experience, and I truly love helping and teaching people, talking with them about their lives, and trying to solve the puzzle of how to live in greater wholeness.

Sessions happen over video chat, and I offer you the option to record the session.

What's your style of astrology?

I see my role as a translator who helps you understand the story of the stars through the lens of your life, and the story of your life through the lens of the stars.

I practice Western astrology using Placidus houses, but I'm happy to use a different house system if you have a preference.

I believe each person is a highly specific incarnation of the energy of creation, here to have the intentional and important experience of being you. More simply: the universe wants you to be the most YOU possible.

I've experienced firsthand the damage living inauthentically can do to a soul, and the way the universe seems to rejoice when we live in alignment with our truest selves. I want that for every person.

Astrology—along with yoga, mindfulness, meditation, supportive community, and therapy—has helped me understand and embody my authentic self, and that has profoundly changed my life for the better.

I view astrology as another path to greater authenticity and self-expression. My goal is to help you articulate who you are and what you need, so you can communicate it to others and experience the freedom of living in your truth. We can't tell our story until we have the vocabulary to tell it. Astrology gives us the language.

Why astrology?

I see astrology as a tool for focused, intentional self-discovery. It gives us a language for experiences that can otherwise be difficult to articulate: our patterns, needs, talents, challenges, desires, and the often-competing parts of ourselves.

I don't predict the future, and I won't tell you what to do. Instead, we use your chart to recognize patterns and possibilities, ask better questions, and explore how you might shift your perspective or behavior to live more authentically.

Astrology is archetypal, meaning its symbols represent universal aspects of the human experience—the lover, the warrior, the trickster, the wise one, the caretaker. We all encounter these energies in different ways. Your chart gives us a way to explore how they show up specifically in you.

Having the language to frame yourself to yourself can open enormous avenues for growth. It can help you understand why you respond the way you do, make peace with parts of yourself you've struggled to accept, and make choices that are actually aligned with who you are.

But astrology is a tool, not a magic wand. Like therapy, meditation, yoga, or any other practice of self-discovery, you have to participate in the process for it to be useful.

Astrology doesn't tell you who to be. It gives you the language to understand who you are—and the freedom to decide what you want to do with that knowledge.
