CHART READING STYLE

As The Lady Bitterness or Lady for short, I have had a connection to the symbols of Astrology since I first laid eyes on my Grandmother’s library of books and old natal chart readings. I have been strengthening my intuitive connection ever since. For me, the beauty of Astrology is in the storytelling element. Our natal charts help us write and rewrite our own narratives as we navigate the chaotic world we are thrown into at birth. In my readings, I prefer to investigate the deeper motivations that have formed one’s personality. It is important to me to acknowledge that developing our sense of self is an ongoing process and that there is nothing that we need to ‘fix’ about ourselves, only heal and understand with more compassion. In essence, my readings are progress-oriented rather than results-oriented. I use my perspective as an Astrologer to guide people on that journey with insight from the symbols, myths and legends that this spiritual practice offers.

The name Lady Bitterness comes directly from an instinct to rewrite my narrative and create an identity based on my natal chart. As a Scorpio, I have never been capable of ignoring the deeper, harsher parts of life. I am not pessimistic, but rather dedicated to getting to the source of pain, facing the fear, working through it and eventually lifting that dead weight off one’s shoulders.  So, Bitterness represents that bittersweet feeling of relief as we face the truth of ourselves and by doing so, relieve our bodies and souls of guilt, sorrow, hurt and regret. In a typical reading, we focus on the unique relationships that form between the planetary alignments in your specific chart, how these energies have manifested in the past and how to work with your natural energy moving forward.

INCLUSIVENESS

I try to be as inclusive as I can with the knowledge that I currently have, but please know that I am always open to learning better ways to be accepting and welcoming. 

ASTROLOGY VS THERAPY

Astrology is just as much of an art form as is filmmaking, painting or the like. In my opinion, a good astrologer acts as almost a life coach. We offer insight, validation and motivation for whatever events are taking place in your life. We are a supportive, non-judgmental, mostly unbiased party that you can trust to approach your struggles, hopes and dreams with compassion and understanding. However, in the end, you have full autonomy and personal choice over how you would like to apply the insight that you gain in a reading. Therapists are licensed professionals who can go so much further than the average astrologer in getting you the help and care that you need. I think that these two practices can be paired beautifully together, however I will always encourage getting professional help for more serious conditions. I do not claim to be a psychic or any kind of fortune teller. I will not make a prediction about things like, when you will get married or if you will be promoted, etc. 

This is not meant to replace therapy or any modern medical practice. I am not a licensed professional.

I offer my astrological perspective and hope to give you some spiritual insight in a fun, friendly, and compassionate way. But, keeping in the theme of Lady Bitterness Astrology, you can always expect a little snarkiness.  

Though I have a very intuitive sense for the planets and stars, the majority of my study has taken place with my nose in a book. I also keep up to date with current industry leaders and their content. Here are some of my biggest influences.

Welcome to Lady Bitterness Astrology. I am delighted to divulge to you the inner caverns of your personality; the lovely, the ugly, and the bittersweet. I appreciate the turbulent winds of your insecure psychology as Lady, Lord, or Leader of the 21st century.

Understanding the inner trappings of our minds, bodies, and hearts, we are properly equipped with a quill and scroll to lay out the map of our own subconscious behavior and pen the way out of the self-confining labyrinth. 

My approach to Astrology is heavily coated with melancholy, defeat, and dare I say, bitterness. However, I do recognize the glimmer of hope we all have to reclaim our destiny and charge forth with the newfound magical awareness of all of our most honorable and deplorable traits. More than anything, Lady Bitterness Astrology believes that this spiritual practice can have a worthwhile practical application if used correctly.

Once enveloped in the Astrological world, there is no such thing as turning back. Dorothy will not lend you her sparkly red slippers to return you to the comfort and warmth of home. This story we are unfolding is yours to bear the burden of alone. My only hope is that after countless nights of trudging through the deep swamps of your subconscious, there will be a threefold revelation: 

One: Acceptance of the past. 

Two: Acknowledgement of conditioned behaviors and reactions. 

Three: Accountability for decisions, actions, and responses moving forward.   

Now then, off we go.
