I’m an intuitive Astrologer, I have studied several different schools/lineages, but most resonate with Shamanic Astrology which is a more earth-based, feminine tradition.
I work with western, tropical astrology, and reference different house systems when looking at your chart including Equal Sign and Placidus, but currently mostly work with Whole Sign houses for natal astrology.
In readings, generally we are drawn to a certain area of your chart that is standing out or being activated at the current time, and indicates the medicine you are experiencing and receiving at this time. Sometimes this means we focus more on transits – this is not a typical “natal chart basics” reading.
