Astrology FAQs

What is Astrology?: symbolic language used to describe the archetypes of the "Luminaries" (Sun & Moon), planets, other celestial "wanderers" &/or fixed star systems, their locations in the sky, and exploration of how they may correspond with what goes on with life on Earth... and more!
- Many people are well-familiar with the idea of a Sun sign and even Moon sign, but that's really just the "tip of the iceberg," so to speak..

What is a Birth Chart?: symbolic map of the archetypes of the planets'/wanderers' position in the sky and more at the moment of a birth
What do people do with their personal Birth Chart?: With the help of Astrologers, people learn about their personal birth charts, which they may work with as symbolic guides to explore and understand themes related to identity, likes/dislikes, how one's mind works, strengths, challenges, personal transformation/growth/evolution; self-acceptance, self-love, self-compassion, as well as bringing consciousness to one's relationships with others and even decision-making, such as with "timing" or "predictive" techniques
On "Fate" v. Free Will: The Myth of Er, found at end of Plato's Republic, offers a sense of how I relate or reconcile these two concepts. What about you?

“A wizard is never late, Frodo Baggins; nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to.”
~Gandalf (character in JRR Tolkein’s Lord of the Rings)

What info. do I need to have /provide in order for a personal Birth Chart to be created/read:
- Minimum info.: Birth Date (month, day, & year)
  - Preferably also: Birth City/Town & exact Birth Time (Hour & Minutes) (There is so much more that can be explored with this info., when it is available.)
- Where can this be found?: Preferably, one confirms this data by looking at one's original or a “long”/“full” copy of one's Birth Certificate, at least for those born in the USA. (The "short" version may not have the exact time indicated.)
  - What about asking parent(s) &/or others who were present when I was born? Apparently, people who are present at one's birth don't always remember the time correctly (whether due to sleep disruption, birthing hormones, medications, etc.), so if you can find and/or order a version of your birth certificate (preferably a version which includes your exact birth time and location) from the equivalent of your natal Health Dept. / Dept. of Vital Records, that document is usually considered the most accurate source.
- What if I can't find this birth info.?: Astrologers can still speak to the symbolism of the celestial objects, the "sign" in which they were or were likely to be located in the sky, and their "aspects" (relationships) to each other on the day of your birth, even if you don't know the exact birth location or exact time. If you happened to be born on a day during which one of these objects (most commonly the Moon) changed signs, the astrologer can inform you of the possibilities.
  - Even knowing for certain whether it was night-time or day-time at the moment of your birth can be helpful in discussing certain astrological concepts/themes, too.
  - To identify one's "Rising" sign (aka "Ascendant," and considered an important aspect of natal chart reading and other astrological factors), in which "houses" (life themes) the celestial objects were located at the moment of your birth, and/or for special/advanced astrological techniques, both birth location and exact time are needed.
  - "Reverse Engineering" Birth Time: If there is any reason one's accurate birth time can't be obtained but you'd like to explore these more detailed astrological concepts, there are specialized astrologers who perform "chart rectification", which involves a series of questions about significant life events and when they occurred to try to pinpoint a more specific time of birth.

CURRENT ASTROLOGY MINI-READING FORMAT

What: Once you sign up through the form on this page, we will schedule an appt. at a mutually agreeable date & time, before which I will prepare your chart based on the details you provided; and we will explore the chart together via Zoom.
What will we cover in the appt.: It depends on your interest and/or what I'm focusing on at the time of our scheduled appointment -- possibilities might be placements during the moment of your birth of one or two of the following:
- the Luminaries (Sun & Moon);
- the "Big Three" (Sun, Moon, and Ascendent (aka "Rising Sign")
  - [Determining Rising Sign requires exact birth time and birth city/state.];
- one or more other celestial "wanderers";
- discussion of the relationships ("aspects") between 2 or more planets &/or other celestial "wanderers" and associated themes;
- the 7 visible planets of traditional/ancient astrology (a broader overview than if focusing on just a few "wanders");
- a look at more distant / more recently discovered celestial objects' placement(s)in your birth chart;
- "fixed" star systems making special alignments with key planets in your chart.
- NOTE re: Timing Techniques and Synastry:
  - Timing Techniques: While I might bring attention to a significant Planetary "Return" (when a planet returns to the same location in the chart as when one was born), I don't anticipate focusing on other timing techniques (other transits (currently, past, or future) and their aspects to the natal chart, etc.) for the current mini-reading offer.
  - Synastry: I'm not currently focusing on Synastry readings (which look at the relationship between the natal charts of 2 individuals). I may be offering such readings in the future.
    - If after having a basic mini-reading on your own natal chart, please let me know if you'd be interested in a reading on the synastry with another loved one's chart. (If the other person is not your minor child, it will require their permission/consent.)
How much time is involved for the Current Mini-Reading Offers: I'll probably want at least a week to prepare and look at the chart, make notes before we meet. Our appt. to discuss your chart will last probably around 30 to 45 minutes, but please plan to allow an hour for the appt., just in case we go on the longer side.

* To participate in any of Soizig's Astrology services, please read the Disclaimer & mark the Liability Waiver box, below, confirming your full agreement with it. DISCLAIMER: Astrological counsel comes from the subjective view of the astrologer based on their understanding of archetypal themes of planets and other astrological phenomena, no matter how objective the astrologer attempts to be. Astrologers are interpreting symbols, not a crystal ball. Symbols/archetypes are multivalent: there may be an infinite number of ways for them to connect to one's life &/or to reality. What is said during an astrology services session is the astrologer’s interpretation about what they are perceiving through the astrological charts and based on the information they receive from the client as well as their own training, studies, and understandings. An astrologer's goal is to connect a client to a larger picture and their role isn’t to be “correct” but rather to be *useful* — If I say something in an astrology session that doesn't resonate, client should let me know. On the other hand, if I say something spot on, please be sure to tell me, as our appointment is meant to be an interactive dialogue and exploration of the chart’s unique configuration of astrological placements. While it is my intention to connect with universal archetypal themes and convey that to the client, it is ultimately the responsibility of the client to evaluate what is true for them and take personal responsibility with how, if at all, they use the information that is presented.

LIABILITY WAIVER: In booking &/or purchasing an Astrology service appointment(s) with Soizig Le Boulch, I acknowledge that I, the client: am at least 18 years of age; am booking the Astrology services appointment on my own behalf (using my own birth data) *or* on behalf of my own child who is less than 18 years of age (using my child's birth data); am responsible for the accuracy of the Birth data reported to Soizig which I am including for the appointment and if I realize the information I provided is/was not accurate, I am responsible for booking and paying in full for a new appointment if I want a new reading with Soizig using the corrected information; and have read, understand, and agree to all aspects of the DISCLAIMER (above) and this LIABILITY WAIVER in its entirety.
