Readings
Please note recent changes in fees and readings offered and not offered. Please email Dawn at alcuin9@gmail.com for updated information and scheduling.
The usual waiting period is two to three weeks.
All readings will be recorded and a link to download an mp3 of the session will be emailed to you afterward. CDs are available for an extra $5.00. If more than two CDs are required for the session, each additional CD will be an extra $3.
Natal Readings
Dawn offers natal chart readings that focus on personal growth and spiritual development. What lessons are we here to master? How can we make life purposeful? What blocks, misunderstandings and ‘inner scripts’ are preventing us from fully living the life we desire? What issues are we facing right now, and how can we get the most out of the sometimes conflicting information, impulses and instincts that bombard us on a daily basis?
A phone consultation on the natal chart runs at least 90 minutes and is $125 US Dollars . Paypal payments are preferred, but U.S. checks and postal money orders are also accepted. Overseas clients, please use Paypal.
Natal Reading including additional chart: If you don’t want a full synastry but are have questions about a relationship and would like to add it to a natal reading, the fee is $50 extra per additional birth chart.
References available on request. A link to download an mp3 of the session will be emailed to you afterward. Consultations can take many forms, so there will be a brief pre-consultation phone or email interview where you can discuss any particular areas you would like to explore. You will be emailed the charts we will be working on beforehand, if necessary (natal, progressed, return, relocation, etc.). If your number is eligible on my worldwide calling plan, I will take the cost of the call. Outside of the U.S., Canada, and the U.K., no cell phones please.
Synastry Readings
Dawn has specialized in synastry for over fifteen years. Her relationship readings focus on understanding the particular needs of each partner and the often complex role each plays in the other’s spiritual evolution.
Basic synastry (comparison of two charts in a romantic or familial situation) is $175 for a 90 minute session. It is conducted the same way as a natal reading with room for a follow up the week after the session.
Written Synastries are now only available on a special case basis (for example, if a client’s command of English is not good). Please email me if you need a written report. The fee is $275 and up, depending on the number of charts involved. Please email for fees for more than two charts, or other comparisons. WRITTEN SYNASTRIES ARE LIMITED TO FIVE SPECIFIC QUESTIONS ABOUT THE RELATIONSHIP. I will use the natals, composites, progressions, progressed composites, draconics, and any other charts deemed necessary, but the written synastries will be limited to these five questions.
General Astrological Inquiries:
If you have a question or an inquiry that does not require a full reading or synastry (general career or relationship issues, etc.) Dawn is available for consultation. The fee is $60 per hour. Half hour sessions will no longer be available, as experience has taught me that 30 minutes is not enough time to cover any area with accuracy and depth. Exceptions will be made for former students.
Off The Cuff Readings: Twice a year, around the solstices, Dawn sets aside weeks for off-the-cuff, spontaneous natal readings. This allows access to astrological knowledge for those who can’t manage the cost of a full reading right now. These readings are $45 dollars and last about 45 minutes. An accurate birth time is required. The next block will be scheduled some time around the summer solstice.
NEW! Family Themes Reading: This type of reading stems from some of the more in-depth work I’ve done with clients. We discuss familial patterns/signatures and themes that occur both within a single natal chart and in the charts of the relations themselves: parents, grandparents, children, siblings, etc. The reading lasts 90 minutes and we take a look at up to five charts. The fee is $100 per ninety minutes. This is the only reading I give where I’m strict about time; extra time will be charged at $35 per half hour intervals. Accurate birth times for parents and grandparents are not necessary, but an idea of the time of birth is helpful.
NEW! Draconic Synastry Reading: Relating from the point of view of soul development, with the emphasis on spiritual growth. TBA SHORTLY.
Ongoing Personal Astrology Lessons:
Personal astrology lessons are temporarily suspended. I am currently working on expanding the curriculum to include intermediate and advanced classes in chart interpretation and synthesis. It seemed to me after many years of teaching that students learn better with a format that is half-structured and half tailored to their own needs. The class called The Basics Redux is my introductory class–Intermediate and Advanced courses will be announced shortly. They will focus on chart synthesis, the use of dispositors and house rulerships, advanced transit interpretation and advanced aspect interpretation, including phasal relationship.
All lessons are done by phone, and students must either have Solar Fire or access to astro.com. Charts will be sent in advance, if necessary. There may be some homework/writing involved, depending on the assignments. Please see the “Courses, Classes and Lessons” page for more details.
