“My Soul Purpose reading helped me take my divorce less “personally,” putting it in a much larger perspective that showed me my personal road to healing. The pain was still there, but held in a deeper meaning, which changed everything.”    ~ Constance Waring

How is this different from "regular" astrology?

Traditional astrology focuses on the influence of your Sun Sign as the central symbol of your birth chart, without taking into account all the fabulous information-rich influence of your lunar North and South Nodes.

Focusing on the Nodes re-crystallizes your chart while taking into account all the important traditional symbols, revealing hidden strengths and challenges that are the foundation for your soul’s purpose.

How will we work together?

Your astrological birth chart is a treasure map that illuminates the truest you; your strengths, desires, weaknesses, fears, wounds, joys, and what gets you motivated. In your reading, we’ll examine this map of your life, including any specifics you want to cover. 

I provide in-depth analysis of your birth chart, transits, and progressions, clearly explained. We discuss where you are now and where you hope to go, and we envision possibilities and consider pragmatic strategies. I help you gain a sense of right timing in your actions and decisions. Consultations address relationships, finances, education, health, vocational choice and career development, relocation and housing, and finding an appropriate spiritual practice.

Once we’ve explored who you are and who you were born to be, we'll explore how the energies available right now and in your near future impact your life. This information is critical for understanding what your challenges and opportunities are, the best ways to move forward, and how to make optimal choices for change, growth, and healing. I’ll offer you new perspectives on old and current issues, and encourage you in individualized ways that are most helpful for your life right now.

  • "Trust Melissa as a powerfully skilled and compassionate guide for opening to new life.” ~ Dr. Jeanne Achterberg, past President, Association for Transpersonal Psychology

    "Thank you from the bottom of my heart for my Soul Purpose reading. I had been feeling very lost as I tried to navigate my way through some big changes in my life. Because of your reading, a HUGE weight has been lifted off my shoulders - you showed me the bigger picture, and gave me the tools and insights I needed to go forward with new confidence. Thank you, thank you, thank you! You are the best." ~ Janet Luhrs, author of Simple Living

    "Melissa's insightful astrological reading rang like a bell for me many times over. I kept thinking, "Oh! So that's what's going on! Now it makes so much more sense!" Her deep listening, and her patient encouragement of my own contemplative listening, provided a welcoming context for the specific evolutionary patterns she translated for me from my astrological chart. I feel enlivened and well-prepared now to navigate the major "phase-shifts" that had been perplexing me the past few years - and which I now anticipate meeting with enthusiasm." ~ Dr. Christy Lee-Engel

    "Melissa is a wise interpreter of deep patterns that helped me powerfully understand key details of my life. She helped me name and lean into profound changes in the expression of my life purpose. Since my Soul Reading, I've been so much bolder, so much more capable of riding the wave of rich possibility." ~ Jessica Tran, MSW

    "What a revelation! Melissa helped me understand what I'm really about, purpose-wise. I understand myself in a completely new and compassionate way. Knowing what my "true north" is on my life's compass, I'm moving forward - personally and professionally - at a whole new level of confidence and self-trust." ~ Marsha Ainsley
