Polestar Astrology
Chinese Polestar Astrology, aka Zi Wei Dou Shu or Purple Star Astrology is a Song Dynasty Chinese method based on Daoist, Confucian, and Buddhist philosophy. Individual readings help us understand our unique patterning related to our ancestral rhythm and the greater, interconnected cycles of qi. Learn about your character and fate patterns based on your birth time and place.
A reading can help you understand your placement in the larger sphere of natural rhythms, helping you know when to push and when to glide. It is especially useful for finding ways to relax and work with things when we face a new or challenging edge in life.
Full reading: $250 (~75 minutes): for initial natal session, annual progressions, couples, and family readings. Please schedule yourself extra time in case we go over!
Mini sessions: $90 (~30 minutes): a shorter reading for a narrow focus (usually one topic/question and its interlocking parts), considering factors from natal and progression charts and/or relevant family/partner’s charts
Tibetan Medicine
Traditional Tibetan Medicine is known as "Sowa Rigpa" (གསོ་བ་རིག་པ།) or, the "Science of Healing". This ancient medical practice is based on a system of Five Elements, and the balance of those elements within the human physiological condition.
The Practitioner or “Menpa” (སྨན་པ།) applies traditional diagnostic methods, then works with the four methods of treatments, which include diet, lifestyle, herbal medicines, and external therapies.
New Patient: $225
Follow-ups: $125 ($90 if online as telemedicine)
