Astrology Readings with Nastassja

We are living in a time of profound change, as if the planet is birthing something new through each of us.. Our psyches and bodies are responding, but our minds cannot make sense of it – the maps of our parents and grandparents no longer match today’s world… 

My Journey with Astrology

Darkest Night, by Nastassja Noell

During my early years with lichens, while finishing writing the book Delmarva Lichens, and conducting field work in the Great Basin Desert, a dear friend and fellow botanist introduced me to astrology. Not the newspaper style astrology, but rather the houses and planets, the transit cycles of Saturn, archtypes and inner doorways of knowing. And something deeply resonated.

Although I have mentors in many fields, I don’t have anyone that has walked this windy, cliff laden path that I’ve walked. So when my friend showed me my chart, and I started looking at past and present transits, the connections with my experiences were uncanny.

Through the years since then, I’ve learned ways of being able to work with these changes, time their duration, and connect with my inner wisdom during stormy times. These  are the tools I offer in my sessions.

“I have seen astrologers in the past and only felt half heard or half seen. I had mostly given up on astrology. Nastassja helped the whole of me to emerge. I felt so cared for and held as she read into my chart. It feels like she’s been doing this for lifetimes.”

Intentions

My intention with each reading is to create a container where you can hear and trust your inner wisdom, and provide astrological insights for navigating the changes in your inner and outer worlds.

What to Expect

Each session starts with a grounding meditation and intention setting, followed by chart exploration and analysis. At the end, we’ll close the session by sealing in the energetic insights. After the session, charts and other astrological resources used for the session are provided. Sessions are held over Zoom and are recorded.

Energetic Exchange

Accessibility is important to me. Prices are listed as a sliding scale. If these prices are inaccessible to you, please reach out so that we can figure out another way of engaging in an energetic exchange.

My Background and Training

My astrological training includes an 18 month intensive astrology mentorship program with the first astrologer that I ever trusted, Rosie Finn (2022-2024); a year long compassionate communication (NVC) practice circle with Liesbett Bickett (2020-2021); four years learning from contemporary shamanic practitioner Beatrice Pizer (2016-2020); and Buddhist trainings in Lojong, Cultivating Bodhicitta, and Cultivating Emotional Balance with Venerable Tenzin Chogkyi at the Vajrapani Institute (2017-2018).

Energetic Exchange $90- $240

In this reading, we’ll start by going over your natal chart (if you’re new to astrology this is a great way to learn both about yourself and your chart!). From there, we’ll explore transits for the year ahead. And we’ll end by creating initiatory actions for you to do on certain days so that you can welcome in the energies that you’d like to activate this year.

Each 120 min reading comes with the downloadable file containing the charts used during the session, your progressed sun and moon information, and a list of dates for when Saturn transited your houses.
