The Intensive Focus readings are for those who have had an initial birthchart done, either by Daniel or another professional, for a deeper examination of the different parts of self and one’s world.

                      Sacred Life Mapping

                      Picture
                      These readings are a big picture look at your life, past, present and immediate future, from deep karmic, therapeutic and spiritual perspectives. Starting with a focused look at the Sun, Moon and Ascendant positions, we range around the chart picking out what feels most significant at the time from the huge amount of information found in anyone’s chart.

                      Included in the chart:
                      • Traditional signs, planets, aspects and houses.
                      • The major goddess asteroids and some of the minor ones as these bring the chart into a much more realistic balance of masculine and feminine archetypes and energies. These include Juno, Pallas Athena, Vesta, Ceres, Diana, Persephone, Black Moon, Lilith, Psyche, Hygeia, Medusa, Hekate and the masculine energies of Chiron, Eros and Shiva.
                      • Your current cycles (i.e. transits and progressions) as navigation aids for understanding and working with the energies moving within and without your world to assist understanding regarding any kind of major transition you might be experiencing, consciously or unconsciously. 

                      These readings are rich in knowledge, myth and symbolism, honour the multi-faceted uniqueness of you, and the interrelationship between the karmic, spiritual and psychological layers of being, with a particular emphasis on how to manifest that essence creatively in the world.

                      This is a two hour reading, which costs $220 and includes chart, CDs and postage (for remote readings), which includes major transits and progressions.

                      "Dear Daniel, thank you so much for such powerful information, I think I fell of my chair a number of times and cried more! What a journey ahead! May I, again, thank you from a very deep appreciative space for your great ability to see clearly in to one's journey. Also your incredibly clear communication, I totally understood all concepts and their importance to my development." ~ Alison Hurst, WA

                      Intensive Focus Readings

                      These are extension sessions to follow up on the initial birthchart reading, whether with myself or another astrologer. They allow us to go further and deeper into the chart, into the mysteries of who we are and of what we are hear to learn and achieve in this life. It is also possible to have a combination of these focuses in the course of the session.

                      Lifecycles - Transits and Progressions

                      Astrology teaches that each of us has a number of different life cycles operating simultaneously at different paces, represented by the current position of the planets and how they interact with the natal chart. 

                      In this session, these transits are combined with your current progressions, a symbolic system that describes how your system is unfolding very slowly over years. 

                      By tracking the transits of Jupiter, Saturn, Chiron, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, along with the progressions, you get a good look into the unfolding of your inner and outer lives. 

                      Offered as navigation aids, it describes:
                      • processes of change
                      • healing and transformation
                      • expansion and growth
                      • challenge
                      • testing and consolidation
                      • development of your relationships and professions. 

                      This is invaluable information for making significant life decisions, as well as helping us to go with these processes of development and change. It’s a good practice to have this update session every 12 - 18 months to keep up with your current cycles.

                      Please note that I don’t do superficial fortune-telling in any of these readings.

                      Soul Purpose Readings

                      Based on the chart as a whole and the position of the Nodes of the Moon, this looks at the karmas, both good and difficult, that we’ve brought with us into this life and what our soul wants to manifest before we leave this body.

                      The South Node represents influences we've bought in from our past life records, both karmic limitations as well as gifts, knowledge and abilities. We have a look at the major karmic threads with some more specific past-life information and experiences, how they have manifested in this life, how to work with them and move towards refining the gifts to be used in contemporary life.

                      The North Node is a visionary point that describes where our soul wants to lead us in the course of this life, the position of which indicates the highest expression of our soul’s potential.

                      The reading supports you to get more in alignment with these ultimate life purposes and fills in more of the jigsaw of who you are as a soul, so you can take responsibility for manifesting your uniqueness in the world.

                      Picture

                      "Well!!!! Daniel, thank you seems inadequate for the task you undertook! Just to have confirmation of my own readings/intutions/discoveries is a great healing. The few astrologers (not many are willing to work with the Dark Goddesses) I have tentatively approached in the past have not been prepared to contemplate my chart in any depth - the reasons you can understand. I applaud your courage and am more grateful than I can express for your compassion, your strength, and your ability to stay 'clear'." ~ Margaret RainbowWeb

                      The Healing Journey

                      As a primal therapist, counselor and astrotherapist with over 20 years of experience, this is one of Daniel's specialties, working with the processes of healing and transformation represented by the positions and movements of Chiron, the Wounded Healer, Hygeia, Neptune, Pluto and some of the shamanic healing asteroids. 

                      By delving deeply into wounds and inhibitions from the past, we can:
                      • understand the “necessary wounds” we've needed to get to our greatest gifts
                      • balance and complete certain karmas
                      • offer the wisdom and the gift of healing and transformation to others. 

                      We track how these processes are operating at the moment and in the immediate and mid-term future, including recommendations for appropriate personal development techniques, therapies and spiritual practices to assist in this journey.

                      Career & Profession

                      Traditionally, to examine the individual’s career potentials and development meant exploring the 10th House of the chart along with the position of Saturn and other points. While valid, this is a limiting frame of reference. Daniel's approach is to look at the whole chart as our true profession or vocation should be an expression of our essential individuality and, should not be too far from our soul’s calling or what Buddhism calls our dharma. 

                      The reading honours that finding out rightful vocation is a process that takes time and often necessary detouring. This also includes current transits and progressions effecting this development, challenges and growth of professional identity in the present and short to mid-term future. 

                      No professional reading is complete without a review of the cycles of Jupiter and Saturn, which have so much to do with what and how we manifest in the world. There is also an emphasis on how to create self-sustaining balance in our lives as we pursue our professional goals, so we are not sabotaging our health, relationships and our inner needs in the process.

                      Relationships & Sexuality

                      This includes parental influences, disowned parts of self we look for in others, the relationship between adult and inner child and any other issues that can inhibit us being able to open our hearts fully to another. 

                      By focusing on the positions of the Sun and Moon, Venus and Mars, Eros and Psyche, Juno, Lilith and the 7th and 8th Houses, we examine how to balance masculine and feminine aspects of self to lay the foundations for creating appropriate relationship. 

                      This includes how our love lives are developing at the moment and immediate future, without worrying too much about when the love of your life is about to rock up!

                      "I started listening late last night Daniel and couldn't stop! Thank you, thank you, thank you so much - it is incredibly valuable to me, and timely ... and real. I could feel it and it just makes sense and has stirred me." ~ Steven R

                      Composite Relationship for Existing Relationships

                      In this reading Daniel uses the natal chart for both you and your partner and the composite chart, a midpoint chart representing your relationship as an entity in itself, to explore your connection. 

                      This combination allows for the examination of each individual’s relationship dynamics, patterns and challenges they bring to any relationship, whether personal, professional, family or friendship. 

                      The composite chart provides a powerful exploration of what has brought you two together, the flowing and the challenging aspects of your relationship, with an emphasis on it as work of love in process with all its learning, its good and difficult karmas, its joys and its potentials. 

                      It can also help make sense of earlier relationships that have been influential, significant or may still be troubling you. One important ethical consideration with doing relationship charts is you must have permission from the other person to use their chart, wherever possible.

                      The Dark Sacred Goddesses

                      Exploring the positions of the Black Moon, Lilith asteroid, Persephone, Hekate and Medusa as emanations of the primal sacred feminine, parts of our emotional selves that are incredibly ??

                      The reading delves into the position of these goddesses in the birthchart and by progression, their relationships with other parts of self, exploring their mythology and manifestations, their distortions and their powers. deep, mysterious, powerful and hidden.


                      These readings are very strong as our relationship with the Dark Goddesses is profoundly influenced by transgenerational family influences, past-life experiences and 4000 years of patriarchal culture which has tended to bury, abuse and reject the sacred and empowering feminine. 


                      We discuss processes of healing and purification, and their enormous influence on our levels of true empowerment, on our relationships, our connection to instinctive wisdom and sacred knowledge and, on the masculine/feminine balance within our selves irrespective of our gender.


                      This is an important reading for both men and women.

                      "Thanks for providing the map of my life in an almost unknown language, the story of my life, You have set me of on a journey/searching, a new adventure into the psycho/spiritual forest of the consciousness. I have now also started studying (John Bradshaw’s book) Home Coming, a title that sits perfectly with my intention." ~ Anon.
