What is astrology?
Astrology is an ancient modality for developing wisdom and self-understanding that has been practised by humanity for thousands of years. Contemporary astrology is based on a holistic understanding of the cosmos, which views the outer and inner worlds as interconnected. Outer events are seen as symbolically related to inner processes, both on an individual and a collective level – or as psychiatrist Carl Jung put it: ‘whatever is born or done in this moment in time has the qualities of this moment in time’. Although this perspective has largely fallen out of favour in Western cultures since the rise of materialist thinking in the 18th century, it is commonly found in Eastern and indigenous cultures. For example several Native American tribes applied a naming tradition based around an event or events seen after the birth of a new child. Such events were felt to signify something about the character and destiny that the child would bring into his or her life.
In astrology, the configurations of planets and stars at our birth are considered to symbolically reflect the nature of our soul and personality as we entered this life – our strengths, challenges and the path we have chosen to follow in this lifetime to grow and develop ourselves. As we move through life, the cyclical movement of the planets and stars reflects the ebb and flow of different energies in our lives, and the way these shape our process of growth and psychological development.
How can astrology help me?
Astrology is a valuable method for bringing our soul’s blueprint to awareness, including the lessons we have chosen to work on in this life. Where before we were fumbling around in the dark trying to fulfil impulses we didn’t understand, an astrology session can bring these dynamics to light, saving us a great deal of time and heartache to find our authentic path.
An astrology session can help you to:
- Recognise the gifts and strengths your brought into this lifetime;
- Understand the challenges you have chosen to work on in this lifetime, and how best to resolve these and heal those aspects of the self that have been wounded;
- Identify the aspect of yourself that you have chosen to develop in this lifetime, which will help bring you greatest fulfilment in the longer-term;
- Connect with and live from your most authentic self, creating more joy, fulfilment and inner peace.
- Understand the energetic dynamics that are unfolding in your life now, and how best to work with these for wellbeing and meaningful success.

How many sessions are required?
1 – 2 sessions are usually sufficient to gain the benefits astrology has to offer, although you are welcome to come for more if you feel it would be beneficial. Many people choose to return on a yearly basis to receive an energetic ‘forecast’ for the year, or during a particularly challenging time of life, or when a significant transition is taking place, such as change of work, marriage or the birth of a child. As a qualified counsellor, I can also combine astrology with counselling for longer-term work if required.

Testimonial:
‘Eliza and I were both blown away by your incredibly accurate astrology reading. Not only was it very accurate but also I loved how you were giving her wonderful advice throughout the session (that didn’t sound like advice). From a mother’s perspective I think all parents should get an astrology reading for their kid from you. I have had readings done in the past but Eliza’s was the most accessible I’ve come across.’ Tahlia L.
